The Terminator is on Twitter and it’s Kind of Amazing
He can be followed at @111001001101010. Also, Sarah Conner?
Morning Debriefing 8/16/11
1) Laughspin gets Comedy Central Fall Schedule.
2) Sean O’Connor will take the stage on Conan tonight TBS 11PM. Watch, set your DVRs, or check back here tomorrow.
3) Humblebrag’s got their Power Rankings for August and we just have to say, “Really, Steve Nash? Really?”.
4) Scott Gairdner’s Clip Cup basically tells Tosh.0 to eat its heart out.
Clip Cup – watch more funny videos
5) The national storytelling series, The Moth, just announced their fall themes for the upcoming months of their storyslams/storytelling open mics.
6) Marc Maron gets interviewed by Splitsider and has “This Has To Be Funny” reviewed by A.V. Club. In talking to him in passing last night, we reaffirm our answer, “Yes Marc, it definitely works as an album.”
8) “Jumping the Shark” = “Going Harold & Kumar”-This is probably our most incendiary post to date at the Nerdist, but what’s more amazing than the grab bag of vicious comments is the fact that people actually stuck around after the credits of Harold & Kumar Escape from Guantanamo Bay.

I wrote about the WTF with Marc Maron podcast for GQ’s comedy issue in July. It ended up as an iPad-only bonus and I’ve had the PDF forever but am just now remembering to share it with you guys. I was so thankful to have the opportunity to write this (what up, master editress Lauren Bans!) and even more so to be able to hand a printout of the piece to Maron in person at his last Bell House gig in Brooklyn. Marc more openly gracious than I had any right to expect.
Hope you dig the piece. Maybe clicking it will make it bigger/more readable? [Edit: No, it won’t. Boo.]

Everyone should go and see Jackie Kashian live, no matter what she does.
The eye-slide was my favorite thing tonight.
This has been a year of me trying new stuff. That is defined as doing shows that make me nervous or scared to fail, mostly. Oh. And turning down work for silly stupid money. Which just makes me tired.
Tonight I did Persona, a character show…
Morning Debriefing 8/18/11
1) The Late Show’s David Letterman called a Jew (when he’s not) and was threatened to be killed.
2) Peter Atencio will be the sole director for all episodes of the upcoming sketch series Key & Peele on Comedy Central. We absolutely can’t wait to see what he comes up with.
3) Laughspin gets another update from Jeff Mackinnon at the Edinburgh Fringe Festival.
4) The Compatish proves that miniature golf isn’t just for kids… or is it?
6) Rob Delaney explains how having one of his jokes stolen invigorated him to conquer Twitter.
7) James Patterson has a beautiful story about why Yelapa isn’t a romantic getaway.
8) The singular Rick Shapiro will be on the Green Room with Paul Provenza (Showtime 11PM), Mark Hamill & Tony Hale are guest stars on NTSF:SD:SUV (Adult Swim 12:15AM), and Hitfix’s Alan Sepinwall makes a case for continuing to watching Louie, just in case you were on the fence (FX 11PM).

12) So, we got the most traffic we’ve ever gotten here yesterday and it was all because of a reblog/retweet of a PDF of a great article by Zach Dionne on the WTF Podcast. As it was misinterpreted by a few people as to who wrote the piece (it’s wasn’t us), we feel compelled to have an actual piece about Marc Maron here written by us, which will be a review of his new album “This Has To Be Funny”, to be posted very soon.

NEW VIDEO for Chromeo “When the Night Falls”
Here’s a great write-up from the Miami Times:
The greatest danger involved in making superpotent sex music is the high risk of inadvertently impregnating an entire roomful of glammed-out party girls.
Just ask Chromeo’s Dave 1 and P-Thugg … There is no condom, diaphragm, spermicide, morning-after pill, or contraceptive sponge in existence that’s properly equipped to deal with the phenomenal reproductive power of a funky electro track.
Want proof? See the cut for Chromeo’s official “When the Night Falls” music video, featuring Solange Knowles and directed by Daniels. It’s a harrowing and scary look at accidental pregnancy, moms gone haywire, and the horrors of becoming a dad.

1) Nick Kroll’s Thank You Very Cool to be released uncensored and uncut on DVD on Sept. 13th. We couldn’t get any news about his sketch show, Nick Show Kroll, from Nick as he’s busy with the League, but we’ll keep you updated.
2) The Comedy Store’s Alf Lamont details the changing environment of comedy and how comedy clubs need to change if they expect to survive/live up to their job title. Please read this, it’s important.
3) There’s still time to get in a short, or if you have a feature somehow in your back pocket, into the Sundance Film Festival, but you better get to Fed Ex pronto (deadline-to be received by Sept. 2nd & late deadline-to be received by Sept. 23rd).
4) Though Rob Delaney and Paul Danke have been killing it posting on Vice and Earwolf and Megan Amram has lifted tweeting to an art form, the role of comedy in novel form it’s vastly overlooked when it shouldn’t be. Splitsider investigates.
