A comic in the hot seat

What’s all that noise in the background?
I’m in the Los Angeles airport. I’m not flying anywhere — I just came to jerk off in the bathroom.

John McCain recently stated that, if elected, he wants to hire Alan Greenspan, “dead or alive,” to fix the tax code, and that, if dead, the corpse of Greenspan would just be propped up, à la Weekend at Bernie’s. Who would you raise from the dead to serve in the US administration?
’Ram Lincoln. I call him ’Ram. People who knew him well called him ’Ram. Freed the slaves. Great beard. Though I think it might be a toss-up between Lincoln and my grandma Helen. She thought I was wonderful. It’s good to have someone like that in your corner.

First daughter (and former boozehound) Jenna Bush just released her first book, Ana’s Story: A Journey of Hope. Are you going to read it? Also, care to take a guess at what she was drinking while she was writing it?
She was definitely drinking Mike’s Hard Lemonade. I’m not going to read it. I’m going to get it on tape. And not listen to it.

Al Gore won the Nobel Peace Prize! How are you going to celebrate?
I am going to dance in a recycling bin while conserving water.

What would you rather have: a magical unicorn or lifetime immunity against scabies?
That’s easy. Lifetime immunity from scabies. You never know who you’re gonna rub pores with at an airport.

And finally, meow?
Bark bark bark.

INTERVIEW: ANDY RICHTER | November 25, 2009
We have a chub for Andy Barker, P.I. (just released out on DVD), because we have a major chub for the show’s star, Andy Richter. Richter plays an accountant who is mistaken for a detective-for-hire and decides to just roll with it.

REVIEW: SPREAD | August 19, 2009
If only there were some way to watch a con-artist houseboy give his cougar sugar mama a squirming reach-around, charm the pants off a candy-necklace string of countless empty-eyed Hollywood stick figures, lose his heart to an untouchable social chameleon, and, in the process, find himself .

NORTHERN EXPOSURE | July 29, 2009
While New York is grittier, Los Angeles juicier, and Boston is wicked smahter, for some odd reason it is Montreal that, for two weeks every summer, becomes the epicenter of the comedy universe.

BEAT THE TWEET | July 22, 2009
Warm weather is supposed to be accessorized by lackaday, by a breezy sensibility best enjoyed with a frosty tall boy in one hand, the sloppy product of a back-yard barbecue in the other. Instead, I find myself struggling to balance my beer between my knees and my overstocked paper plate on my thigh as I furiously poke at my BlackBerry.
