Louis C.K. Hates Cell Phones

 

Watch this: Brilliant interview with Louis C.K.

 


One of the best and most frank interviews I have ever seen of Louis. Enjoy!

First visit to the Comedy Cellar: Chris Rock drops by

What's more surprising to this newbie than Chris Rock showing up at the Comedy Cellar unannounced? The fact that he totally and completely bombed! And when I say bombed, I mean crickets. The crowd was not sleepy or out of it – they were going nuts for the previous and following acts – which were all really good incidentally. Chris' material was just beyond rough.

To be fair, he did warn us that it wasn't going to be good, and we came to learn that this is how all comedians test their acts over time. Either way, it was fascinating to see how much he obviously works at the material that makes it into his recorded specials. I previously thought he just spoke and gold nuggets fell out, but he obviously polishes his insights like mad.

Bad set aside, it was still pretty amazing to see him though, as I'm a big fan. Sneaked a quick snap before getting yelled at.

If you go – make sure to make reservations onine first. The line-ups are long! 

 

My week in pictures & other random stuff I like:

It's cute Delia:

 

Talking Funny: Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais & Louis CK

Comedy's biggest names — Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais and Louis CK — sit down for a revealing chat on this HBO special. They discuss comedy, how they first got into the business, the merits of on-stage profanity and the science behind getting a laugh.

This is part 1 of 4. Click through to YouTube to see the rest.

Melissa McCarthy steals the show in Bridesmaids as "Megan"

 


The movie was funny yes – but the best part was the character Megan played by Melissa McCarthy. Watch her in some extra outtakes above and enjoy a fresh take on women.

 

Portlandia delivers laughs

 

Natalie Massenet & Conan O'Brien

 

No, Natalie Massenet and Conan O'Brien don't really have anything to do with one another. I just came across these shots of them and thought they were great. Her, with her hugely visionary fashion empire, and he, with his marvelous bouffant – which I always thought defied gravity on it's own – until now. :)

 

She shot by Henry Bourne, he shot by Gillian Laub.

Going through withdrawl

Do you watch this show too? It's quirky and charming and I love Ken Jeong in it.

Interesting factoid about Jeong – he's a fully licensed MD
