Morning Debriefing 2/17/11

1) RT @comedymeltdown Top secret meeting&dealings regarding the renewal of @meltdowncomics gallery space and the future of @comedymeltdown Stay tuned&thank you!

2) So… Eddie Pepitone is having an live action single panel comic strip updated DAILY Mon. through Fri.  So… you should probably watch it.

3) Reggie Watts on Conan.  You can witness what’s its like to see him live, which is really the only way to do it, at the SUPER SERIOUS SHOW (details below in the Comedy Crawl)

4) The First Annual Comedy Awards have another category, Viral Video, that is up for a vote.  You actually have a say in this, so maybe something that is deserving might win.  That’s all up to you folks….

7) Recently: OK, so recently developed are the Jeopardy Playing Robot, which I’ve reasoned is a robot programmed just stupid enough to make a knowledge based competition fair, and an Anti-Laser.  I feel that there is no need for a comedy clip to comment on how hilariously wasteful this is.

8) Every time a comic on stage says, “Fuck you, that’s funny,” when they’re getting laughs, doesn’t deserve any laughs.  (Yes, this happens… a lot.)
