Dear everyone with eyes,
As some of you may know, I spent the last six months of 2010 working as a staff writer on a new NBC sitcom, Perfect Couples. Unlike most of the things that I’ve worked on during my career in television, I’m actually proud of my involvement with the show. Which is why I’m doing my part to promote the series premiere this Thursday, January 20th at 8:30 on NBC.
If audiences enjoy watching it half as much as I enjoyed working on it, we’ll be golden. So, if you like TV, laughing, and/or making sure my unborn child has diapers and food and stuff…maybe check it out?
On this episode, we talk about the cinematic mind-fuck that is Bad Lieutenant: Port of Call New Orleans. the effect that Wesley Snipes has on the panties of older ladies, and The Dancing Plague of 1518.
Go get it, here!
If just giggling at funny people for a few hours isn’t enough for you, here’s a show that promises to make you laugh and ease your liberal guilt at the same time.
Since I’ve been doing stand-up almost as long as we’ve been together, the wife has seen more than her fair share of comedians. As you might expect, she’s a bit jaded. Someone who always manages to brighten her day is the highly original Maria Bamford. Her act is part stand-up, part one-woman show, and part multiple-personality disorder. She’s the comedy co-chair of the long-running show What’s Up, Tiger Lily.
This Monday, in honor of the Rev. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr., I will be intergrating the fuck out of Tiger Lily. If you have no money, but a desire to see a kick-ass comedy show with real life teevee personalities like the aformentioned Ms. Bamford and Mary Lynn Rajskub (24, Little Miss Sunshine) come on down and let’s pour some out for the brother who isn’t here.
Despite the reaction of the gentlemen in the lower left, I had a good set. It was damn near 2 AM by the time I got on stage. That guy looks like he’s ready for bed.
