Nathan Fielder Helps a Souvenir Shop and Almost Puts Himself at Risk
On the latest episode of Nathan For You, Nathan Fielder helps out a souvenir shop on Hollywood Blvd. boost its sales by making people think that a movie is being shot there and convincing them to actually buy gifts from that souvenir shop.
Turns out that staging a movie in order for people to buy stuff wasn’t exactly legal and Fielder had to deal with that.
Morning Debriefing 7/6/11
1) Jay Leno’s joke about Casey Anthony didn’t go well until he repeated it the 2nd time. The joke, in structure and delivery, was typical Leno monologue, but dark by his standards, especially given how little time has passed since the Anthony acquittal. Perhaps, it would have gone better if Gilbert Gottfried had told it.
2) We concur with Witstream: Stop suckin’ Favstar’s dick.
3) Tired of reading the Papaya King Billboard on Hollywood Blvd.? Think you have something better, more clever, utilizing obscure references? Well, now’s your chance… Submit your idea for a Papaya King billboard and it may be posted in the LA area.
4) Keep this in mind: “@DuBouchet (Andrés Du Bouchet) Alright when the CD/mp3 of ‘Naked Trampoline Hamlet’ DOES come out, the first person to TWEET @dubouchet what fake name I use TWICE wins 100 bucks. I’ll send you a check. And I love my fake names, so listen carefully! I use one twice.” Whether or not you win, you should buy this.
5) Patton Oswalt in the first of many to come 5 Second Films.
6) “Are Comedians Doomed to Apologize Forever?”, a piece by us posted yesterday in Punchline Magazine

We’re all sad that Oprah left our afternoons empty and cold and hopeless and depressing and lacking joy. But the good news is that there are tons of people who are perfectly capable replacements for the Queen of Daytime.
