Coolio In A Cook-Off


Did you watch Coolio on The Food Network's Rachael vs. Guy: Celebrity Cook-Off? You wouldn't be alone. The Food Network posted the highest ratings in its history last month.

We'd like to think that The Food Network's dramatic increase in viewership is directly related to the Ghetto Gourmet. After, all, who can resist chicken so good it falls off the bone or a caprese salad so tasty it makes your drawers drop?

Coolio came in second to Lou Diamond Phillips despite breaking out the big guns like Soul Rolls and a newer, Guy Fieri-approved version of his Cool-A-Cado, winning a more-than-respectable $10,000 for Music Saves Lives. To which we say, Shaka, Coolio. Shaka forever.



Butt Touchdown For The Win!

Ahem.

The New York Giants won Super Bowl XLVI with a "butt touchdown:"

We would like to go on record to say that we believe this "butt touchdown" may have been inspired by Daily Grace's special Super Bowl cheer:

But our FAVORITE part may have been Madonna's halftime show because it felt like her costume was an homage to someone very familiar:




Mary Lynn Rajskub Is Our Newest Series Star.


Meet "Dicki."

She's fortysomething. She lives at home with her parents. She's "artsy." She likes Double Gulp sodas. She's looking for love.

And she's played by Mary Lynn Rajskub, whom you might know from 24, It's Always Sunny In Philadelphia, Mr. Show with Bob and David and The Larry Sanders Show.

But Dicki is special. You'll get a chance to see HOW special she is this Thursday at www.MyDamnChannel.com/Dicki.



Happy Birthday David Wain and Coolio!



Yesterday was OUR birthday, today is the birthday of two My Damn Channel stars: David Wain and Coolio!

Did we know this when we started working with them? No!

Does this mean anything to anyone but us? No!

Are we glad that these things all seem relevant enough to put into a single blog post? Yes! Yes! A thousand times, yes!

In honor of the anniversaries of their birth, here are our (my) favorite Wainy Days and Cookin' With Coolio episodes:

"Donna"







and "Caprese Salad"




Happy Birthday to everyone who has a birthday to today-- even if you aren't a successful comedian/writer/director/cult-comedy icon or a rapper/actor/chef/juggalo!



Wet Hot American Decade

 


People forget how much the world has changed in the last decade.  Blogs, social networking, web video.  All of these post-Y2K innovations have radically altered the way we interact with the world—particularly the world of entertainment.  You may not remember, but back before there was such a thing as forward-thinking online content providers, there were literally only two ways to entertain oneself: by 1) burning the effigy of a rival tribal leader, or 2) firing up the ol' top-loading VCR to watch a battered VHS copy of David Wain's cult summer camp spoof Wet Hot American Summer.

Yes, long before Wainy Days was even a twinkle in the director's eye, Wet Hot showcased Wain's unique brand of unpredictable, absurdist humor, and featured a cast that now seems like a murderers’ row of the most important comedic performers of the early 21st century.


(Leslie Knope [L], and Johnny Limitless [R])

Some, like Paul Rudd and Elizabeth Banks, have turned up on Wainy Days; while others, like A.D. Miles, have gone on to create their very own (excellent) series like Horrible People.

To celebrate the film’s 10th anniversary, David Wain & Co. have mounted a nation-wide tour, featuring screenings, Q&A's, and live shows.  To wit, here's David Wain and Wet Hot co-star Jo Lo Truglio revisiting some alternate titles for the film.  And if you're jonesing for even more of Wain live, don't forget to check out the Wainy Days live show at this year's Just For Laughs.  And remember: if you wanna smear mud on your ass, smear mud on your ass, just be honest about it.

Gigi Talk On Telephone?


It's Wednesday, and that means there's another episode of Gigi for you.  And what is that foreign rapscallion up to this time?  Well today, Gigi will be dabbling in the game of telephone and the game of love - though, I'm not sure if he knows he is doing either.  What a lovable guy!

So dig in and check out this slam-bang episode!  And if you're new to the series, watch how it all began HERE.

O-kay?  O-KAY!!!


Gigi goes all in

Got cash??? In this episode, Gigi finds himself in a high stakes game of poker with a trio of new "friends." Like the card shark that he is, he's down to go all in. Watch it here.

If you're new to Gigi, you can catch up on Episode 1 and Episode 2.

New episodes every Wednesday!


A Holy Quadrinity - Josh, Jon, Matt, and Trey



Holy snaps! Check out our boy, Josh Gad - star of our upcoming series Gigi: Almost American, "on" The Daily Show last night! Okay, so Matt and Trey from South Park were really the guests; there to talk about their new Broadway musical The Book Of Mormon. But Josh was about as on as you can be without being there in person (check him out behind Matt and Trey, singing like a champ). Plus he's been on The Daily Show as a correspondent so no need to split hairs here anyway. 

Matt and Trey got some pretty high praise from their Comedy Central counterpart. I won't spoil what Mr. Jon Stewart had to say, you can check it out for yourself. Actually, you need to hear it for yourself because it'd probably sound like I was making it up if I told you because when I say "high praise", I mean it was downright biblical (pun intended, suckas!). 

Episodes of Gigi: Almost American launch 3/23, but you can get your fix now with the trailer and promos NOW.  


Mark Malkoff is More Popular Than Ever

So, to recap: Mark Malkoff spent 5 Days In The Bathroom to try to rid himself of his internet addiction.  This makes the internet love him more.  Behold:


















Even former former Conan and Daily Show writer Rob Kutner got in on it:



So, now we know: YOU CANNOT QUIT THE MEDIA.  THE MEDIA WILL HUNT YOU DOWN AND FIND YOU WHEREVER YOU ARE EVEN IF YOU ARE IN YOUR OWN BATHROOM IN QUEENS.  And Rob Kutner, can you try to be less funny and witty when writing tweets about our videos, please?  You are making some of us look bad.
