The second annual Comedy Awards were taped at the Hammerstein Ballroom in NYC on Saturday night with Tina Fey, Jim Carrey, Kristen Wiig, Robert De Niro and many more in attendance as The Roots provided backing band-ed ness throughout the night.

Good news fans of all that is Reggie Watts for he announced his plans for his new comedy special. Last summer Watts set up shop in NYC’s Central Park and taped a set for Comedy Central that will be released as a joint CD/DVD called A Live At Central Park. The special features Watts’ trademark humor and stream-of-consciousness songs and will hit stores on Tuesday, May 15th.
It will also air on Comedy Central on the 11th at 1am. We can only assume since it’s airing that late on the channel it means the special will be part of the network’s Secret Stash and we’ll get to hear Reggie in all his curse-filled glory!
And that’s a great sign since the first video clip released from the special is something you don’t want to play at work.
Today on Robert Kelly’s You Know What Dude podcast, his co-host and partner in crime, Joe DeRosa announced that he was going to leave the podcast as a regular. So in honor of Joe D, we’re making him our clip of the day.
In the last few days a video clip of Jimmy Fallon auditioning for Saturday Night Live. Jimmy’s looking very young in the clip as he runs through the gamut of his impressions. Possibly gathering the biggest laughs from when he drops his Adam Sandler impression on the crowd.
We’re assuming this clip is from around 1998 since that’s the year he first showed up as a featured player on SNL. We also think he has more than a passing resemblance to Ted Mosby in this clip.
Eric Andre gets a bit animated as he talks about Spike’s TV show for guys, Manswers and how to deal with the boyfriend of an ex.
On his new TV show Money From Strangers, comedian Jeff Dye wants to give you cash, but there’s a catch, you really have to work for it. Dye finds people on the street and offers them the chance to play the game. The willing participant then gets an earbud from Dye who watches on hidden cameras with other comedian friends (I spotted Joe Mande, Kurt Braunohler, Ali Wong, Moshe Kasher, Streeter Seidell, Jordan Carlos, and Eric Andre in the trailer) who tell their pawn to do and say things around the city that earn them money. Buffoonery at it’s finest! Read the rest of this entry
If you’ve heard Lisa Lampanelli’s comedy before or consider yourself a diehard fan, you know what you’re in for before listening to her greatest hits collection, Equal Opportunity Offender.
It’s also why this album is not for you.
If you are one who whines every time they see a greatest hits album, then stop reading this right now, this album is not for you.
But if you’ve happened to surf upon this review because you searched for Lampanelli after seeing her on The Celebrity Apprentice, then by all means pay attention.
First off, yes greatest hits albums can be tricky. Other than Jazz, stand-up comedy is probably the toughest recorded material to make appear cohesive when compiling in this manner. In both instances, they are about a vibe and a feeling set over an album span, not track to track. It’s an art often ignored by the disposable pop music that litter the 2,367th incarnations of Now That’s What I Call Music compilations. Read the rest of this entry
