1) JON DALY IS… Ticklish Cage?
Ticklish Cage from Jon Daly
2) Fox pulled this segment of comedian Bob Oschack interviewing Asian USC students about the inclusion of Colorado and Utah in the newly formed PAC 12 Conference due to many in the Asian American community being deeply offended. Apparently, Asian college students not knowing about the newest developments in collegiate level sports conferences is incredibly embarassing. As an Asian American USC alumni, I could say that the clip isn’t all that offensive, but then again, I don’t really care about my ethnicity at all. Also, lighten the fuck up. [via America’s Comedy]

4) In LA open mic news, there will be a new open mic at the Hollywood Improv and an open mic for sketches at the Westside Comedy Theater (those interested must sign-up in advance) all this Sunday.
5) Here’s a list of recently released and upcoming comedy albums that you could go to most stores to pick up, unlike us going to Amoeba.
