The House from “A Christmas Story” Now Available to Stay in as a Hotel

The Cleveland house was meticulously decorated to resemble the house from the classic Christmas movie, “A Christmas Story”, as a museum.

Now, for $495 a night or ($1995 a night during peak holiday season) you can stay in the house on the private third floor loft and live out the movie as opposed to watching it a dozen or so times on Christmas Eve on cable TV.

That’s right, you can book it year round and indeed have Christmas in July.

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog Goes Live from RNC Right Behind Wolf Blitzer and Jake Tapper

Triumph the Insult Comic Dog delivers per usual at the front lines of the RNC, but you’ll also get to see more of Robert Smigel with his hand up Triumph than ever.

Also, he does get to bug Jake and Wolf by the way.

Samantha Bee Is Finally Back from Hiatus and Explores the Disaster Waiting to Happen at RNC

You’re going to get a lot of comedy crossing paths with the political party conventions over the next two weeks.

Thankfully, out of the gate, Colbert and Samantha Bee have gone in depth at the RNC first. Bee went to Cleveland and tried to find out why, specifically, there’s a looming sense of chaos about the whole event. Spoiler alert: there are plenty of reasons.

Full Frontal with Samantha Bee has been off for what seems like way too long as Bee has quickly positioned herself as a voice in late night who people want to hear in times of crisis.

Her breakdown of the start of the RNC and Trump’s VP pick Mike Pence is a good example of this.

It’s kind of an amazing time in this millennium where comedy can live outside of cities with less than 10 million people. Still, outside of comedy meccas like LA and NYC as well as Chicago, a whole separate set of challenges present themselves when trying to make a go at being a comedian in smaller cities.

Jim Tews and Ramon Rivas II’ Make Fun: Building a Comedy Scene is a documentary that chronicles doing comedy in Cleveland, OH and how the scene there and elsewhere is built from the ground up.

The feature length doc is available to watch now for $5.
