Seeing that it's my
job to watch viral
videos all day (Mom, Dad -- the film degree is finally paying
off!) actually getting to meet some of these
asses geniuses who create and market these
videos is a bit odd for me. I mean, what if I meet
Gary "Numa Numa Kid" Brolsma and we have
nothing to talk about -- except euro-techno-pop? Or what about Judson "Evolution of
Dance Guy" Laipply? Do I just moonwalk over and try to
impress him? And what if Marco "Cell Phone Magician"
Tempest asks for my phone to do a trick and then calls
Australia? G'Day!
Regardless -- it's all gonna go
down at the Viral
Videos Live! show. Sure, it may sound like the world's worst
ice skating show idea, but it's gonna be a good time. I'll be sure to
capture some video at the show so I can tag it as "viral video from the
show about viral video stars who are in viral videos shown at the viral
video
show!"

Okay, two words -- Mario Cantone. I totally
forgot how funny he is and now that I'm seeing him live in Vegas (get
yourself some tickets), I'm psyched again.
Below is a clip from Chappelle (by the way, bad news from fest about Chappelle -- read
here) with Cantone answering some "As a Gay Dude"
questions.
Okay folks -- headphones on. This is
NOT SAFE FOR WORK.

I'm planning my week at TCF and really, just can't wrap my head around this show:
PUPPET UP! ADULTS ONLY
The Jim Henson Company's renowned puppeteers demonstrate what
happens when
traditional comedic improvisation is mixed with the
uninhibited anarchy of
live puppet performance.
Not your average night of improv and definitely
not for children
Those of you who know me (I know you're out there) know that I have "crazy issues" with things meant for children being placed in <wipe forehead> adult situations. What? Well, stuff like folks in sexy elf or Santa suits, Barbies and GI Joes in compromising positions and Peeps being, well, I don't know what but it all gives me the creepy jeebies.
So, we'll see how this show works out. I still haven't seen Avenue Q (also in Vegas -- eek) and chances are this "uninhibited anarchy of
live puppet performance" will throw me over the edge. See you in hell.

We're Going to Comedy Fest! <send help> -
Okay -- we're going
to the Comedy
Festival in Vegas. Now, since
you elected to stay home and watch Grey's Anatomy,
you loser, starting this Wednesday we'll be blogifying from parties,
shows, juggling competitions, David Copperfield's secret lair (fingers
crossed) and an "adult puppet performance."
<shudder>
Now, you're probably asking
"what the bedazzler happens at a comedy festival?" Hell if we know! But
if we get harassed by mimes and stuff, we're totally taking an early
flight.
In all seriousness (right) the folks at TCF
(that's what you call it when you're "in the comedy know") have been
gems, promising us "good times" and "tickets -- maybe." So, we're set.
We'll be blogging with our friends at AOL
Vegas who have more famous friends than we do, so we'll
totally be their Tara Reid, if you know what we
mean.
Until then, check out Marco Tempest -- the
cell phone magician! We'll be hanging with this "tube celeb" in Vegas.
He has the best accent and makes us say
"hmmmm."

You Love Cats - One thing is for sure ... you love cats. Especially cats that do things that are oddly human, like using the toilet and -- apparently -- writing the new Phillip Glass album.

Around The Emmys in 30 Seconds -
First
of all, if you check out NBC's site for the Emmys, you'll notice their webmasters think the
evening
can be pared down to two minutes -- the two-minute acceptance speech
for NBC's 'The Office' winning best-comedy
series.
Notice
how Stephen
Marchant, co-creator of the original British version of 'The Office,' came
deftly dressed in character, as if he just got off of a 17-hour shift
at the
paper mill.
During the "moving tribute" to Aaron
Spelling, three
of the original
Charlie's Angels cast members -- Kate Jackson, Farrah Fawcet and Jaclyn
Smith
reunited. Of course, the award in everyone's mind was: "Winner of the
best
face work on an original Charlie's Angel" which clearly went to Jaclyn
Smith.
In
case you haven't heard, Stephen Colbert got served by Barry
Manilow for "best Performance in a Variety Program." Manilow
should have also won for "Best Golden Girl 'do," but sadly that
category was overlooked.
Oh, and Conan opened up
with the
a bit in which he appeared on several different TV shows. Take a look
at
the 'South Park' shot, you get the idea.
