Michael and Michael having issues



Friends, if you live in the great US of A, or know comedy fans who do, please get the word out there about Michael and Michael Have Issues, Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black's new show on Comedy Central. Not enough people watched the series premiere Wednesday night. I've only seen a few clips because Comedy Network doesn't let us watch funny things in Canada, but what I have seen has been fantastic, Michael and Michael are brilliant comedy writers and performers, and if more people don't watch the show, it will end before the world gets to take them into her warm, soil-covered arms and embrace them!! If you want proof of the pure, gooey joy that is Michael and Michael, check out their earlier work as part of comedy troupes The State and Stella, Michael Showalter's beautiful The Baxter, Michael Ian Black's hilarious My Custom Van (on sale now!), Showalter's truly hilarious The Michael Showalter Showalter, both of their very funny blogs (see links above), both of their very funny stand-up albums, and, of course, the classic Wet Hot American Summer. Look at all this! What more do you want from them?? Or me?? Links are fucking annoying!! Watch the show, Americans, GOD!!!

This person says it better than I just did.



AUGHH how does that always mistakenly get added to my posts??? Computers!!!

Worst Blogger

I'm the worst blogger in the world. Kids are exhausting. I'm settling into a new Nannying job. I imagine once I get in the groove I'll blog more.

And such an exciting week for comedy, too! The State DVD came out Tuesday, Michael and Michael premiered last night. Jon Benjamin's pilot got greenlit.

Tomorrow I will see two Just For Laughs gala shows featuring Sarah Silverman, David Cross, Arj Barker, Louis CK, Todd Glass, and John Mulaney (when I first saw Mulaney, I thought he was one of the funniest comics I'd ever seen, and I still think he's great, but I'm freaking sick of the same stuff. One new joke, John! Just one!). I will report back!
