Morning Debriefing 9/14/11

1) Baron Vaughn on Conan. Also pick up his album “Raised by Cable”.

2) Elizabeth Laime’s Totally Laime’s wins the Earwolf Podcast Challenge and will join the Earwolf family.

3) Roseanne has “Tracy Morgan-like” appearance on Conan.

4) The ACME Comedy Theatre has announced that will have an open mic starting on Sept. 27th. More details to come.

5) Speaking of Conan (again), don’t miss out on the Sklar Brothers performing tonight (TBS 11PM) or to pick up their fantastic album “Hendersons & Daughters”.

6) Connected Comedy gathered late night debuts of stand-ups on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. We think you should take a minute or an hour and check it out.

7) Congratulations are also in order for the web series, Runyon: Just Above Sunset, starring Eddie Pepitone, directed by Troy Conrad, taking Best in Show at the Burbank Film Festival Shorts Contest.

8) Halle Kiefer and Adam Frucci discuss whether or not Whitney will survive its ad campaign on Splitsider. If NBC is going to pull shit like this (via @thatramosgirl), we think not.

1) Date Rape Audience Monologist’s (from DCM ASSSSCAT) identity is revealed. Also, he left Facebook like that’s going to do something.

2) It’s a new Henry’s Kitchen!!!

3) David Koechner would rather wrestle Jay Leno than promote A Good Fashioned Orgy.

4) Did you know Jim Jefferies & Eddie Ifft had a podcast? Now you do.

5) Damn, we love The Midnight Show. Here’s their sketch about home invasion.

6) So the Internet convened yesterday and decided Joe Mande wrote the funniest thing (that just happened to be about Gilbert Arenas). We agree.

7) Read how Jeff MacKinnon is having all the fun in Edinburgh at the Fringe Festival in his 12th and 13th parts of coverage for Laughspin.

8) Splitsider makes a solid list of podcasts that should exist. We could go on about adding more, but our first thought was that Joe Wengert should have a podcast called “Before Therapy”.

9) Mainstream comedy success? More like… I have no fucking idea what a large cross section of America wants in their comedy.

1) Emmy nominations came out today and Louis C.K. is nominated four times (apparently he edited his own special, Hilarious.), Conan got nominated while Leno did not, Modern Family gets plenty of love (in Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, they take 4 of the six nominations), and Futurama gets a couple a nods.

2) NSFW Hal Rudnick’s doing an interview on the XXX Parody of Anchorman. Well, actually, he’s doing it while the movie’s shooting.

Anchorman XXX Parody Set Visit – NSFW – watch more funny videos

3) Paul Scheer leads the way with National Terrorism Strike Force: San Diego:: Sports Utility Vehicle or NTSF:SD:SUV premieres on Adult Swim next week! Saw a preview at Scheer and Rob Hubel’s live show Crash Test and it was hilarious. Check out the teaser now, then watch it on Adult Swim next Thursday July 21st.

4) HOLY FUCK! Dave Ross gets interviewed in Laugh Button!

5) If you feel like truly staying in because you want to catch Louie on FX at 10:30PM, don’t forget to catch the premiere of the 2nd Season of the Green Room with Paul Provenza on Showtime 11PM AND the legendary Don Rickles will be making an appearance on the Tonight Show on NBC 11:35PM.

Morning Debriefing 12/6/10

1) Most comics in Los Angeles find that they can only get up once a night. Some of the more dedicated comics hustle out to do two spots in one night, then the hardest workers I find can do about four in one night, if there’s the opportunity to. Tonight, for benefit of the LA comedy community, the Comedy Bureau is going to go up about 8 times, possibly even more, by performing at Marty’s/The Open Mic from 5PM to 11PM to let you know what it’s like without you ever having to try it. Marty’s is an open mic that allows performers, after they pay the $5 cover, to go up as many times as they want/feel is necessary/can handle. You can follow this journey into what very well might be a productive night of comedy OR comedy purgatory bordering on the tips of the flames of comedy hell on Twitter right here.

2) Nice and easy seems to be theme of tonight’s COMEDY CRAWL with all of the weekly shows regularly listed here in full effect (NOT TO MENTION THAT ALL OF THIS COSTS JUST $5) Start off with What’s Up Tiger Lily? @ Hollywood Studio Bar & Grill 8PM FREE, then Comedy Show @ The Cherry Pit 9PM FREE, then Keep It Clean @ 1739 Public House 10PM FREE, and I’m sure you’ll have enough money to finish off the night at Crash Test @ UCB Theatre 11PM $5 and be able to get home.

3) OPEN MIC RUN: CLUB 705 705 Pier Ave., Hermosa Beach, CA/Starts “around” 7PM/10 min., TRIBAL CAFE 1651 W. Temple St., Los Angeles, CA (Echo Park)/Starts 8:15PM, CASEY’S 613 S. Grand Ave., Los Angeles, CA (downtown)/Sign-up (lottery) 7PM/Starts 8PM, MARTY’S/THE OPEN MIC 7351 W. Sunset Blvd., Hollywood, CA (walk up Martel past Big Mama’s and Papa’s)/5PM to 11PM/$5/multiple sets allowed.

4) Louis CK was on the Tonight Show. I didn’t get to watch it live because I was performing at an AA room, but I watched parts 1-3 of the interview here, here, and here.

5) BIG TROUBLE IN LITTLE TOKYO is back for PART 5!!! Tomorrow night’s very, incredibly, special guest: ABBEY LONDER!!! Oh yeah, don’t forget $2 fish tacos and raffles galore (meaning probably 3). Tues. Dec. 7th @ Señor Fish (422 E. 1st St., Los Angeles, CA) Sign-up 6:30PM/Starts 7PM.

6) The Comedy Bureau “Tips Its Hat” today to MATT KNUDSEN “@matt_knudsen I love reindeer. They are delicious.” Armed with his incredibly astute, sharp one-liners and his remarkably delightful low-key presence, Matt Knudsen not only gets to entertain all around Los Angeles, but is regularly featured on several TV shows including, most recently, Detroit 1-8-7 and Men of a Certain Age. He just released an album, “The Comedic Stylings of Matt Knudsen”, which you should definitely buy and can be seen live this week at the “Toys for Tots Benefit” @ Hudson Mainstage Wed. Dec. 8th and improv group “The Waterbrains” @ The Westside Comedy Theatre“ Fri. Dec. 10th $10. Do not forget to check out his website and follow him on Twitter.

7) From the "You Should Have Been There” Lagoon: Sam Kinison’s First Appearance on Letterman

8) I’m doing basically an entire 12 hour day for LA Comedy today. Please donate (cash donations in person accepted as Tumblr is down).

9) Tumblr can’t stop the Comedy Bureau, but many near and dear friends tell me “dating a woman” would probably do the trick. I’ll guess we’ll have to find out….
