Morning Debriefing 3/27/12

1) Tenacious D is motherfuckin’ back!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

2) We’re glad this exists: Adam Cayton Holland interviewed Mitch Hedberg before he died.

3) The Comedy Awards is giving a whole bunch more categories (Podcast, Twitter account,  viral video, and more) over to the voters!

4) Apparently, the entire Mash-Up pilot for Comedy Central has been online for almost a month. Don’t forget to check out to RSVP for any of the tapings next week.

5) Moshe Kasher on Conan

6) Another awesome preview of what’s coming at the Nerdist YouTube channel….

7) So, Former Senator Arlen Specter is still doing stand-up

8) Judd Apatow is reading Chris Gethard’s book. We sincerely hope something big comes of this.

9) No matter what you saw on the promos, Eric Andre is indeed in Don’t Trust the B**** in Apt. 23 and is great. The pilot is up on Hulu now.

10) Two comedy essays worth your time:
Turn Left? The Lack of Right-Wing Comedians by Alf Lamont for Huffington Post Comedy
Comedy in Context for the Nerdist written by us

11) So the folks over at Funny or Die are having a whole lot of goofy fun with the Zou Bisou Bisou scene from Mad Men. Watch Danny Jelinek add lasers and elephants to it

12) Not too long from now, in this very galaxy, Star Wars references will unfortunately be lost on people.
