1) The Midnight Show is coming out with their own comedy album of their best sketches on May 5th. Mark your damn calendars for the release of “Wow, Whaddya Know!” NOW.

2) 30 Rock went live last night. Spend your entire Friday comparing the West Coast episode to the East Coast episode, but try not to take it to seriously when you inevitably pick a side of which coast is better.

3) Comedy from Deadline:
Will Ferrell to host SNL…
Adam McKay to direct remake of Bill Cosby and Sidney Poitier’s Uptown Saturday Night…

8) Check out Tenacious D feature in Rolling Stone and an exclusive video on why their new album Rize of the Fenix might exacerbate tinnitus.

Rob Delaney has new dates around the U.S.

10) Performing after someone I barely knew, but everyone in the room knew much better than I did, was pronounced dead 10 minutes before my set is something I now can cross off my non-existent bucket list of things I’d rather avoid in comedy. In case you’re wondering, it is, indeed, absolutely weird.
