You,re insane. That show was awesome. The problem was that thwy taped it too early in the day, and all the 'news' was old by the time it aired. It was also hurt by the fact that it was only once a week. If it was on after Colbert or something, it would have worked.

Hedberg and Hicks. Carlin and Cosby. David Cross, because he riffs on a subject near and dear to my crotch: bestiality, in which he opines that bestiality is more legal in some states, like Texas, than consensual anal sex between humans. Now, I don't know about you, but ****ing an animal in the ass is just disgusting. Unless you have one of those Dyson vacuums and a quality hose hook up. Then, getting the creature to hold still is the hardest part. Except for my dick.And Tosh's stand up might be funny, but I find his show is similar to the Jackass movies. I prefer the cerebral stuff (see above).

The Norm stuff is amazing. The people on stage are losing it while the crowd is dead silent. Crazy stuff.http://vimeo.com/15823351http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FhdV4vxpZSg&feature=related

Comedy is an almost biblical thing in the sense of Lenny Bruce begat Richard Pryor begat Eddie Murphy by way of influence. Therefore this list is long for me (and probably won't be comprehensive here). Just because someone is on my list doesn't necessarily mean I like the comic's entire catalog but can sometimes just appreciate their work for influence they had on comedians that are more contemporary. Like Henny Youngman. Without him there would be no Rodney Dangerfield as we know him, and without Rodney, Sam Kinison might never have been as big as he was. Get the picture?Henny YoungmanJack BennyBuddy HackettRodney DangerfieldDon RicklesBob NewhartBill CosbyLarry MillerDennis MillerGeorge CarlinBill HicksEddie MurphyLenny BruceDave ChappellePaul RodriguezMitch HedburgEddie IzzardBrian PosehnSteven WrightJim GaffiganEugene MirmanPatton OswaltZach Galifinakisi'm tired of thinking now...

Hank's tenure at Soulsuckers, INC, LLC, DBA TBD, had not been long, but it had been distinguished... By drunkenness, hair-trigger violence, and a total lack of performance. I would call it a steady decline in performance, but that would imply that he performed at one point in time. In fact he had not. He was drunk.

I went to the Improv last night, and sawTodd Glass (host)Karen KilgraffNick KrollMarc MaronNeil HamburgerAndy KindlerI hadn't heard of Karen Kilgraff--but she was funny and smart. She brought her guitar on stage and played songs. My favorite line, "if you don't like it, you can fck you."Nick Kroll was funny with a bunch of bits. My favorite was an imitation of characters of 1970s movies eating. My friends (who see a lot of comedy around town) say he's a hit and miss performer, sometimes too high for words.This was the first time I've seen Marc Maron do a set, though I've listened to his podcast.Aside--I think LA is great alt comedy town. Well, I think the two easiest, most accessible things about LA is the revival theater scene (like a new print and screening of Jaws or Lawrence of Arabia) and the stand up comedy scene. It's super cheap and at lots of venues. Last night, my ticket was $10. All this is with a caveat. It's only good if you're comfortable with seeing work in progress, not a complete set. There's also a lot of inside baseball style commentary on other comics and venues. Last night, 3 or 4 of the performers all made fun of Jay Leno.Neil Hamburger was good, there were a few lines that were funny, and a little uncomfortable vibe. I can't imagine how awkward it would feel if he was headlining in a place that wasn't expecting his style.Andy Kindler was okay. I mean, I'm a jerk, right? He's been doing it so long, and has had such solid feedback over the years, but he's just never going to cross over to bigger success. I kept looking at him, seeing the ghost of Nick Kroll's future.
