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.

3) Tonight on TV: Futurama gets their season finale in a way that they’ve never been drawn before (Comedy Central 10PM), Louie also reaches its season finale (FX 10:30PM), NTSF:SD:SUV has former Crossing Jordan star Jerry O’Connell (Adult Swim 12:15AM), and Thursdays are running out of things to watch.

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.

6) LA’s only rooftop comedy show, Long Way Down, gets a nice write-up in LAist.

10) Just watched Notting Hill and thought, “Wow. This movie does not hold up at all.” Also, I just watched Notting Hill alone for no reason at all. That’s a pretty good Match.com bio, right?
