On Jim Gaffigan Hops on the Self-Publishing Standup Train for His Next Special

Listen comedians: I will buy all of your $5 download specials. That is my price point, that is my medium. Make this a thing.

On How Will SNL Handle Whitney Houston's Death?

@A Good Question "I just wanted to hear those jokes one more time." Probably the most loving sendoff one comedian can give another.

On The Simpson's Harry Shearer Defends Voice Actors' Position

I want him to get this deal just to see the gymnastics Fox will run through to try to say that syndicating the Simpsons isn't making any money.

On Comedy Central Is Going All Out for Charlie Sheen Roast, Social Media-wise

This is like the third time you guys have plugged this terrible TV special literally no one I have ever met is interested in watching. Either Comedy Central's backing up the money truck or you need to notice that the "roasts" are not appointment TV for comedy fans. The most I've ever seen someone say about them is "god, they're doing another one?"

It was rape. Say rape. Not "pseudo rape," not "sex against her wishes," rape. Downplaying this hurts everyone.

On One Night at Asssscat, or What to Do With a Date Rape Monologue

@Josh Guerrin@facebook Josh Guerrin if you do not think the story in that video describes a rape there's a stomach-churningly high chance that you yourself have raped someone. Educate yourself about consent before you do it again, for your wife's sake.

On Conan Viewership Down Roughly 60% Since Premiere

I just feel kind of let down by how traditional Conan turned out to be. I know the comedy nerds (including, I think, this blog) feel that this is a Wrong Thought and that I should never gotten my hopes up about getting anything other than a Tonight Show clone, but I was really ready to have a talk show that spoke to my generation, more alt-comedy and less hokey project-shilling. I know Conan doesn't want to do that show, and I like him so theoretically I should want him to do what he wants, but I just can't connect to a format that was set in stone when the Baby Boomers were young.
