11) I tried to get into the Moth Storyslam last night, but couldn’t because 300 people who paid $8 to get in beat me to Zanzibar Live in Santa Monica last night. That’s 300 people who paid money to hear stories that may or may not be good by people they’ve most likely never heard of. Why can’t people be excited for comedy like this?

The scene from last night’s Louie where he talks to Dane Cook is awesome.

Now That’s a ‘Change-Up’: Todd Glass Sits at Kimmel’s Desk
Last night on Jimmy Kimmel Live, Todd Glass stops in the middle of his set and literally, without the aid of some little known spell or some frustrated writers’ imagination, switches places with Jimmy Kimmel.
It’s a weird, though refreshing, move on his part, as Glass had the audience going on the last joke that he told while on stage.
Watch it in Parts 1 and 2. Then go check out Todd Glass record his first hour long special at the El Rey Theatre this Saturday.
(This was meant to go in the Morning Debriefing, but due to a lack of caffeine and a subsequent lack of awareness, the video is now its own post. Talk about being meta, am I right? Also, yes, you can hate us for the pun in the headline.)
At the end of the day everyone needs to just keep going, and if you wallow in self-pity or you focus on negative things that might slow you down you will never get to confront your own Dane Cook on your own FX show. You know what I mean.

Quote of the day. If you’re wondering.
(via lizlet)
Please welcome our newest paid regular, Sandy Danto!
Sandy moved to LA after studying at Indiana University while taking summer classes at the famed Second City in Detroit, then immediately starts working at National Lampoon on the Sunset Strip. He’s hired to write, direct, produce and perform for comedy shorts that would go up on their website and on college television networks. He goes on to appear on Mad TV and Comedy Central’s Mash-up, as well as co-hosts the web-series Fat Guy Nation. He eventually goes on tour with 90’s icon Pauly Shore and builds a name for himself that he carries back to LA on his back and throws down at the steps of his apartment, where he gets back to work, writing jokes. Whether or not any success, paid gigs or applause fulfill him, and what he came to California to do, isn’t even relevant at this point. His presence on stage as a performer and friend is relevant in itself. Anything else is bonus and whether or not you laugh, isn’t. He’ll be fine because, after all, he’s just dreaming.
Find Sandy on Twitter
