Sometimes people like to know about other people. This is called stalking.

Hey! I have a new piece up on 23/6: Senator Obama, I Have Your Vice President.
Also, my mention of The Hills in that piece (a show which I haven't actually seen, shhh), reminded me of this clip I enjoyed a while back that features elderly performers recreating clips from the notoriously shallow show:
I have a new piece up on The Smart Set! This one is about seeing Gallagher and trying to figure out why he's popular. Check it out.
And as a bonus, here's the giant couch video I reference in the article:
Former SNL writer, current New Yorker writer, and generally awesome guy Jack Handey did a great interview on The Sound of Young America a few weeks ago. As someone who attempts to write both live comedy and humor essay-type stuff, I really liked hearing about Jack's writing process and how he found his comedic voice. In fact, I liked this interview so much that I've embedded the clip here for you in my blog. It's a gift! Happy Thursday!
I keep forgetting to post this. Rob and I are also performing in the Philly Sketchfest at 10:30 tonight! More info on the Sketchfest's website.
Hey! If you live in Chicago, come out and see Rob and me perform some sweet comedy in Snubfest on Sunday! We'll be performing our two favorite monologues from our "Reviving the Lecture Circuit" show. Here are the specs:

First, a mash-up of old Fred Astaire clips with Michael Jackson's "Smooth Criminal." The guy who made the mash-up said this about it:
I love both Astaire and Michael Jackson. I want young people to know Astaire stuff, that is why I made this.
Well, "Smooth Criminal" is my favorite Michael Jackson song, and I am totally sold on needing to watch more Fred Astaire films now. Via BoingBoing.
Second is the new Gnarles Barkley video, which was posted on Best Week Ever and probably about 5,000 other blogs.
Not only do I like the song quite a bit, but I enjoy the addition of Justin Timberlake. Justin is one of those entertainers I do not like for his music or his looks, but rather for doing things like this:
