Morning Debriefing 7/13/11

1) Big congrats have to go to the Comedy Garage and their documentary by Logan Leistikow for winning Best Documentary in the LA Cinema Fest!

2) Afro in the Cosmos-An Article about Reggie Watts in Playboy Magazine.

3) Rooftop Comedy “Silver Nails” Winners Interview w/Karl Hess, Ron Funches, Emily Heller and more!!!

4) What Comedy Careers Will Look Like in 10 Years from Connected Comedy. Most of this we can definitely see happening, but the live experience, we think, can never be replaced and how people will go out and see it a decade from now…. we don’t know.

5) The Finale of Just Above Sunset: Runyon Canyon w/Eddie Pepitone. It’s the fifth and sixth day of the expedition to “summit” Runyon. Watch and enjoy.

RUNYON: Just Above Sunset – DAY 5 & 6 – SEASON FINALE – watch more funny videos
