Whoever sent this in to the CollegeHumor picture sweep had the worst spring break ever.
Very funny Jake and Amir from the last live show. And wouldn’t you know it, there’s another one TONIGHT at 9:30 at the UCB! Reservations are sold out but that doesn’t mean you can’t come. Just show up and hop on the standby line. The UCB is very good about getting in as many people as possible so there is a very good chance you’ll make it in. Hope to see you there!
Two of my co-workers made a fantastic apperance on last night’s Jimmy Kimmel Live. Sadly, Streeter didn’t accept my dare to pull out a mug of beer mid-interview and demand Kimmel join him in a “ziggy zoggy” from The Man Show.
I forgot my beer backstage. Otherwise I would have totally done it.
Kimmel
My word that was fun. The whole staff at Kimmel was awesome and made sure we wanted for nothing. We even got to go hang out after the show and have black and tans with Kimmel and his staff.
We fly home tomorrow and I must say I’m sad to leave LA and my sweet, sweet car. Hopefully we’ll get to come back at some point because this has been a really fun trip.
And now to watch myself be awkward on TV.
Being that I’ve never owned, driven or even rented a luxury car I decided that I would do so during my 3 days in LA. I have to drive everywhere out here so I needed a car anyway and for the price of renting a Honda Civic in NYC, you can get this in LA. After a day spent tooling around in this baby I would very much like to become rich one day because these are really, realy fun to drive. Here I am calling my people and setting up a meeting while I casually enjoy a cigarette. How fun.
Bonus: My hotel is apparently home to some hip bar that I am not cool enough to drink at. When I pulled into the parking lot a few minutes ago a crowd of papparazzi readied their cameras and aimed them at me, only to be let down when they saw some chubby, bearded dude behind the wheel who wasn’t Seth Rogen. And that was the closest I’ll ever come to being a celebrity.
AWWWWW YEAH. This is going to be a really fun show. We have great acts - Jamie Lee, Matt McCarthy, Simon Rich and Jake and Amir - plus its already sold out. BUT WAIT, before you say you’re not going to come because it’s sold out, check this: the UCB always let’s in as many people as they can so if you get on the standby line there’s a great chance you’ll get in. I’m not going to gaurantee it but I don’t think anyone has ever been turned away from a CH Live show and they’ve always sold out ahead of time. Hope to see you there!
For everyone who wrote to tell me The CollegeHumor Show should have more Phantom of the Office, watch tonight at 9:30 on MTV. You won’t be disappointed.
SNL!
My friend took me to the SNL dress rehearsal tonight and it was great. I have been trying to go to SNL for almost a decade now so I consider this an huge accomplishment. Previous attempts to go during college were all monumental failures. You can go wait on the sidewalk for SNL standby tickets on Friday night (they hand them out at 8 in the morning on Saturday) and I did this a number of times. One time we were at the front of the standby line when David Wells came in with a horde of slutty blondes and took our spot. Another time I waited outside for two hours by myself, all the while thinking I was the luckiest guy in the world since I would be first in line, only to be informed by a janitor that they were off that week. I also almost got killed on the D train that evening when a crackhead decided to show me how strong he was by punching through a subway window and telling me he could kill me.
Anyway, a number of fun things happened while there tonight. The first was during the Q&A that Jason Sudeikis hosted before the show. When Sudeikis asked if anyone had a question this guy sitting behind me piped up real loud. When he was called on he turned to his son, a kid in a wheelchair, and said, “It’s your turn now.” The kid then proceeded to do a very loud Don Pardo impression, which confused almost everyone there, including Sudeikis. The father/son team looked familiar and after a second I realized who they were: Patrick Hughes and his father. I was too scared to say hi after the show considering the dude-tear-jerker status their story has with me.
The second cool thing was when I got to pretend I was Brian Williams for a minute.
