Conan O’Brien begins his comedy tour

Conan’s “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny on Television” comedy tour began last night in Eugene, Oregon. I still can’t believe this show sold out so quickly. Thirty (30!) stops, two months, and even a few visits to Canada (Vancouver, Calgary, Toronto), and I still was too late online to get a single ticket.

Judy Greer will guest on Big Bang

Stunt-casting is always a game of chance – some guests misfire, no matter how well intended. This one might just be perfect. Judy Greer, a regular guest on Arrested Development, Love Monkey, Miss Guided, and more recently on Modern Family, House MD will be guest-starring in The Big Bang Theory.

George Carlin RIP – catch TV specials

We knew it was coming, and his last few appearances on TV have been pretty telling. The guy’s been on stage, entertaining us, our parents, our grandparents for decades.

Last Comic Standing Finale

Congratulations, America! Your most popular comedian (voted by you) is a cripple. How telling, how sadly ironic. Please don’t bash me over the head with your political correctness, or call me a bigot. Try to understand this simple comedy concept – the audience should be laughing with the comedian. As soon as they’re laughing AT [...]

Lucky Louie (Sundays on HBO)

I like crude humour. Well, perhaps I like comedians who can be very good at it. Jim Norton (from Opie and Anthony show) is a good example – his material is so filthy, and delivered so well that you can’t help but think that Jim is a filthy, disgusting man. And, laughing at such a [...]

Rescue Me (Tuesdays on FX)

After two breathtaking seasons, Rescue Me is back on FX. If you missed it, or dismissed it as a one-note firefighter drama, you missed out. You have no excuse – tune in every Tuesday and you won’t regret it. Rescue me is about a team of firefighters, dealing with all kinds of crap in their [...]
