WatchTrying to write today and all I can think of is this SNL clip from when Zach Galifianakis hosted a couple of weeks ago. Newsflash, I have writer’s block.

WatchPete Holmes is one of my favorite comics out there. In this clip from SXSW he addresses a recent injury that led to his wearing a corrective boot. This is 100% how I feel about every time I hurt my back. Like how last fall I went to reach for my phone in my office and then magically ended up needing another spinal surgery. That’s the story.

The very funny Katie Hannigan, who made an appearance at my show in March, hosts a great monthly stand-up show at Happy Ending Lounge. I did a spot there and it was a blast. She put together this little video.

drunk skills →
The Huffington Post Comedy page put together a slide-show called, “10 Things You’re Probably Better at When Drunk.” It’s full of the obvious cliches that every ‘wild night out’ movie or television episode includes: dancing, singing, taking your clothes off, hitting on others, etc. I feel they left out a few choice activities that alcohol improves:

Jon Stewart Interviews Trey Parker and Matt Stone
In case you missed it, Matt Stone and Trey Parker were on The Daily Show last night, where they had a delightful chat with Jon Stewart about The Book of Mormon.

BOOK OF MORMON WAS GREAT
Go see it. If you aren’t in New York, get here. Seriously, it is the best thing I have seen in a long time, maybe ever (well, with the exclusion of my own stand-up, obviously).
