Inside with: Steve Soroka & Mamrie Hart of BoF |... →
I love interviewing nice and funny people, especially when said nice and funny people can’t decide which one of them is the Blanche Devereux in their relationship. Read up! And see the show! It’s delightful and funny!

Lately our Harolds have been looking like this:
The goal is for them to look more like this:
Can we do it? I think so. I believe in the power of…um…stuff.

“The reality is that women are treated differently by society for exactly the...”
– -Scott Adams, the creator of Dilbert
And there’s more.
I’d love to say this makes me enraged, but I look at misguided sexists the same way I look at toddlers and the mentally handicapped. You know, it’s not their fault they can’t understand certain things. I have to save my...

30 Rock review: "Plan B" | RealCityNY →
The episode also makes the argument that the survival of scripted television is dependent upon writers and talent working together in harmony. This isn’t just true for TGS, but for 30 Rock itself. Since 30 Rock‘s beginning, the show has been lauded for its writing, but its writers are making the point that without its great ensemble of acting talent those jokes, characters and stories could...

justinpdrew replied to your post:I continue to be utterly bewildered by the NYC comedy scene
Yeah, that’s one of the biggest things for me in the Boston scene. People will just sit and stare like assholes, that’s why when I do an open mic and there are a table of non-comics, I always make sure I’m playing to them.
I feel like this is something that is universal for open mics. I try not to see...

I continue to be utterly bewildered by the NYC...
I think I’m starting to figure one thing out, though: I’ve got to learn how to let go of caring what others think and just do stuff that I love. It’s frustrating, though, when you do stuff that you’re proud of or you try new things or just have fun and people still think it’s shit. I get frustrated because I feel like I could be pooping a unicorn and they still...

I just found out who I'm scheduled to open for at...
I want to divulge it, but the schedule’s still tentative and I don’t want to look like an ass. Suffice to say, I saw them at last year’s Geek Week and they became…like…my favorites. So, opening for them is going to be super amazing. You know, if it happens.

Inside with: Rose Surnow, host of "We Love You" |... →
I’ve been very lucky in the last year to interview a lot of awesome people for The Apiary. Rose is a great, hilarious gal whom I’ve met doing open mics and seeing shows in NYC. What makes this interview really special is that the show Rose is hosting and producing isn’t just about making people laugh; it’s supporting an amazing cause.
This Sunday’s show is to support...

The Case For The Tonight Show with Ellen DeGeneres →
splitsider:
Leila Cohan-Miccio shares her theory that — after Leno (actually) retires — Ellen DeGeneres could take over as host of The Tonight Show.
DeGeneres’ talent and skills, however, aren’t even the top reason I’m convinced she’ll get The Tonight Show. To put it mildly, last time Leno “retired,” it didn’t go so well. When he gives the show up for real, NBC is going to have to control the...

30 Rock review: "Queen of Jordan | RealCityNY →
It’s strange to consider that real people like Danielle Staub might be less real than fictional characters like Michael Scott, but that’s the reality 30 Rock is giving us.
Don’t ask why my latest review of 30 Rock took almost a week to get published. Instead, ask how such a short article could cause so much angst.
ETA: GUYS!!!! If you click this link, the site I write for was just...

Help! My smarter internet friends!
Does anyone know how to set up alerts for low ticket prices? As a follow up to my spastic entries from yesterday, I need to look for my cheapest options flying from Philadelphia to Chicago at 6am on July 11 and flying from Chicago to NYC late on July 17.

– Elizabeth Taylor (via joyengel)
My immediate reaction to news of Elizabeth Taylor’s death on twitter (because twitter is where immediate reactions matter), was thus: You know how after a death people say, “Well, she lived a good life,”? Well, Elizabeth Taylor lived the BEST...

I am a terrific bridesmaid. Har har har...
My high school best friend is getting married and I’m in the wedding. So I thought it was classy to send her a facebook message basically saying, “Hey what TIME are you getting married/having the reception? I’m looking at flight options and possibly doing an improv intensive in Chicago (I know I’m psycho! har har har) the following week. Hope you’re well!”
See,...

Well, that was a bad weekend.
I started this weekend with the best of intentions. I was going to eat candy, have fun and basically just chill the hell out. Then I lost my iPhone. Then I lost my self-respect. Then I got a terrible migraine. Then I was unable to get up on stage at all this weekend. Then I went home and felt bad about myself. Then last night I had two weird nightmares (in one I was being attacked by a Maine Coon...
