Louis C.K. Blog Archives
If you are as big a Louis C.K. fan as we obviously are and weren’t aware of this, then you may be inclined to check it out. Louis’ old blog archives from his site dating back to 4/3/2007. Some amazing and awesome entries.
Morning Debriefing 7/13/11
1) Big congrats have to go to the Comedy Garage and their documentary by Logan Leistikow for winning Best Documentary in the LA Cinema Fest!
2) Afro in the Cosmos-An Article about Reggie Watts in Playboy Magazine.
3) Rooftop Comedy “Silver Nails” Winners Interview w/Karl Hess, Ron Funches, Emily Heller and more!!!
4) What Comedy Careers Will Look Like in 10 Years from Connected Comedy. Most of this we can definitely see happening, but the live experience, we think, can never be replaced and how people will go out and see it a decade from now…. we don’t know.
5) The Finale of Just Above Sunset: Runyon Canyon w/Eddie Pepitone. It’s the fifth and sixth day of the expedition to “summit” Runyon. Watch and enjoy.

Old Man Weldon: “I noticed you have the same shoes as I do. The logical conclusion: you must have stolen them from me.”
Preach it Will.
Today I read an AV Club article about a Cleveland based sketch troupe, Last Call Cleveland, who is all but accusing Conan of stealing a bit they’ve done a bunch of times in the past. Punchline rolled with it, and it all started here in the Cleveland Scene. Now, thankfully, there’s no…
Don’t miss this great special ONE NIGHT ONLY show with GREG PROOPS in the improvised stand-up show, SET LIST. Comics get a brand new “set list” as they walk onstage, and perform as if it is their own. Joining this special show: Jimmy Dore, Jackie Jones, Jake Kroeger, Eddie Pepitone, and Carrie Snow.
This is Greg’s last Set List show in Los Angeles before joining the show at the Montreal Just For Laughs Festival and the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
This is going to be a fantastic show without regard to me being on it. Still, I’m on it and absolutely thrilled…. to connect a bunch of topics to my incredibly low opinion of myself. IT’S GOING TO BE GREAT!!!

1) Emmy nominations came out today and Louis C.K. is nominated four times (apparently he edited his own special, Hilarious.), Conan got nominated while Leno did not, Modern Family gets plenty of love (in Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, they take 4 of the six nominations), and Futurama gets a couple a nods.
2) NSFW Hal Rudnick’s doing an interview on the XXX Parody of Anchorman. Well, actually, he’s doing it while the movie’s shooting.

3) Paul Scheer leads the way with National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego:: Sports Utility Vehicle or NTSF:SD:SUV premieres on Adult Swim next week! Saw a preview at Scheer and Rob Hubel’s live show Crash Test and it was hilarious. Check out the teaser now, then watch it on Adult Swim next Thursday July 21st.
4) HOLY FUCK! Dave Ross gets interviewed in Laugh Button!
5) If you feel like truly staying in because you want to catch Louie on FX at 10:30PM, don’t forget to catch the premiere of the 2nd Season of the Green Room with Paul Provenza on Showtime 11PM AND the legendary Don Rickles will be making an appearance on the Tonight Show on NBC 11:35PM.

Charlyne YI and Dave Horwitz have teamed to bring you… something?? They’re not quite sure, but here’s what they know: it will be a one act play, it will have live musical accompaniment, it’ll co-star some amazing performers, and it will be almost entirely improvised. That’s right, they’ll provide an outline, but the rest is up to fate! How exciting is that? Answer? Very.

Morning Debriefing 7/15/11
1) Comedy Legend Don Rickles on Leno Part 1 & 2.
2) It should be obvious what measures you should take if accusing someone of joke thievery, but here’s a pretty comprehensive list on Splitsider, just in case you’re the comedy equivalent of sue-happy.
3) Yesterday, NBC’s Community Showrunner Dan Harmon had a great post about meeting George Gallo, the writer of Midnight Run and the magic of trying to do anything creative. If you haven’t already reblogged it, give it a read.
4) Best 30 Minutes or Less Podcasts from the Plop List
5) If you’re not reading the fantastic daily thoughts of Matt Champagne, perhaps start now by reading a conversation wherein Princess Leia hits on C-3PO.
C-3PO: Might I remind you, Princess, that I am a droid?
LEIA: Your excuses are so cute.
C-3PO: I am fluent in nearly all forms of verbal communication.
LEIA: Oh, I can think of one form you’re definitely not fluent in.
7) Stuff that you might have missed yesterday that we really think you should watch again: the new episode of the Compatish and Ryan Hansen “pranking” the Midnight Show.

3) Punchline Magazine became Laughspin.com and now there’s a whole page of stuff we contribute.
4) So Kristen Wiig is the voice of Babs in this slightly disturbing reboot of Looney Tunes on Cartoon Network and will produce and star in a suicide themed comedy that focuses on a woman who fakes suicide to gain the attention of an ex-boyfriend. We like this dark comedy streak by Wiig and hope it continues.
