Clean Coal reposted

Just a reminder, we did Clean Coal way before it became all cool.

Man without a catchphrase

As a comic, I think it's important to note the passing of a great catchphrase. To wit:

Under Obama, `war on terror' catchphrase fading

I can't wait to get my "Extraordinary, Complex and Interconnected Global Challenges" campaign ribbon!

Iraq-enactments bonus clips!

Because you can never not really serve enough.

Iraq-enactments

We decided to take an in-depth look at those individuals who fervently support the war...they just don't have the time to actually go and serve themselves. So, they give back in their own way.

I helped write this one up and I shot a bunch of it.

Clean Coal PSA

It's funny because it's true.

Give to War

Here's a Shoot the Messenger video I worked on, starring Sarah Silverman.

WUW - live, at the RNC, 3rd show

This one was probably my favorite one, both from a writing and performing standpoint.




Added bonus; our street team coverage of the convention.

Look for me (or rather, my feet) as TWO of the different reporters on our Mensroom Watch.

WUW - live, at the RNC

More video coverage from the RNC.

Apparently, the crowd loved my first joke so much, it kind threw off the rest of the piece.

That's a good problem to have, though.



For the record, the "Science Museum" joke was the first joke I wrote with Lizz when we got there.

dumb people have the vote, too

Newsweek says that this election will be decided by this year's "IT" demographic: LOW INFO VOTERS.

Back in the day, we just called them STUPID PEOPLE.

not quite appropriate, considering ...

This is one of my favorite sketches we worked on. Yes, it's creepy, but yes, it is rooted in horrifying reality!!

Operation Final Draft: the WGA strikes back!

I'm part of a weekly comedy show called Shoot the Messenger, which is the brainchild of Lizz Winstead.

You may have heard of Lizz; she co-created The Daily Show.

Don't mean to brag (about someone else's accomplishments). Anyway.

We're all supporters of the writers in this ongoing strike and since Wake Up World, the show-within-the-show, is a fictional, insipid morning show on a fictional right-wing "news" network, we figured the network would probably cover the strike the way networks cover the war.

So, we put together this little bit of satire - WGA EAST approved! If you like it, please feel free to pass it around it to your friends. This was put together by myself, Lizz, and Lucas Held (who plays the dink embedded with the studios); you may also notice friend and hilarious comedian, Mr. Baron Vaughn, as Davis Miles.

The video was shot and edited by the very talented Jonathan Light.




I would like to add that I made the little map and graphics for the disputed territories.
