Celebrity Sleepovers with Mark Malkoff!


Mark Malkoff figured out fast that Los Angeles gets expensive for a guy living out of a suitcase. So he decided simply to ask celebrities if he could sleep at their homes. He just ASKED them! And they said YES!

He slept with Camryn Manheim's Emmy. He met Mary Lynn Rajskub and her son. He stayed in Justine Bateman's treehouse. He practiced napping with Kristen Schaal. He slept in the same bed with Kate Walsh...only after Kate called Mark's wife and assured her that it was perfectly fine since she wasn't attracted to him at all!


Ed Begley, Jr., Dave Coulier, "Bridesmaids" director Paul Feig, "Everybody Loves Raymond" creator Phil Rosenthal, legends Buck Henry and Dick Cavett...Mark convinced them all to open their doors and let him spend the night.

Well... almost all of them (Lookin' at you, Rob Corddry. Lookin' at YOU.).

Watch what happened at Dave Coulier's house now!



A Good Old-Fashioned Hollywood Premiere

As you may have heard, Easy To Assemble: Season 3, "Finding North" premieres on My Damn Channel on October 18th.

To celebrate, we had a good old-fashioned Hollywood premiere at the Egyptian Theatre. See who was there:

We have more pictures on our Facebook page and actor/blogger Lynn Chen has a nice wrap-up of the event here.

So we're pretty excited to premiere the first episode on October 18th. Until then, may the lingonberry juice be free-flowing:

Easy To Assemble is Back!


They're back.

Illeana Douglas, Justine Bateman and their IKEA co-workers are on a Swedish tour in Season 3, "Finding North." Will Illeana ever get her award for Coworker of The Year? Is Justine still Forty and Bitter?

Will anyone ever tell us if lingonberries are delicious mostly because we doubt they exist in the world outside IKEA stores? Will they take a side trip to China, where many people treat IKEA stores like amusement parks? Will they go to Germany where IKEA restaurants are more popular than McDonalds? Will anyone just come over to our house and help us put some BILLY bookshelves together?

We'll all just have to wait and see! (Unless you really want to help us with some furniture-building. That can happen immediately.)




Our Idiot Brother

The new Paul Rudd-starring "Our Idiot Brother" opens in theaters this weekend, gifting America with the genial tale of a simple-minded fuckup (Rudd) and his exhasperated extented family. I haven't seen it yet, but David Wain has...

 

And while he's undoubtably correct, Mr. Wain may not be the most impartial critic. The "Brother" cast list reads like a who's who of Wainy Days All-Stars. Aside from Paul Rudd, there's Rashida Jones, Elizabeh Banks, and, let's see... looks like that's it. But hey, three's a lot! Besides, would David Wain ever steer you wrong?


Bauer Has an Audition For a Jack Black Movie!



If you knew that your best friend/boss/dog had an audition for a Jack Black movie, you would choose immediately to:

A) Stay up all night helping your best friend/boss/dog learn his lines and doing the best Jack Black impersonation you could so your best friend/boss/dog won't be too starstruck when meeting him.

B) Stay up all night discussing how much you hate this new incarnation of Jack Black and you miss all the old "Tenacious D" stuff and then ask your best friend/boss/dog if maybe he could get Jack Black to sign one of your old "Tenacious D" CD's because-- of course-- you still have CD's.

C) Stay up all night throwing your best friend/boss/dog the most righteous party.

The answer is obvious, isn't it? Watch the episode and see how obvious it is.

And put those Tenacious D CD's away. And don't ever show them to a girl. Seriously.



Wish I Knew How to Quidditch You

A young George Costanza?

A young George Costanza?

Maybe you've seen the ads on billboards, in bus shelters, or projected onto the insides of your eyelids.  Maybe you've seen Daniel Radcliffe, Emma Watson, or the Other One making the rounds on the talk show circuit.  Or maybe you need only to consult your very own "Mug Life" abdomen tattoo to be reminded that today--yes, today!--marks the release of the final Harry Potter movie, Harry Potter & The Deathly Hallows, Part Two: Stagnetti's Revenge.

Yes, after a decade's worth of yeoman-like service at the multiplex, it's finally come time for this iteration of Harry Potter to power down, be put out to stud, and other such mixed metaphors.  It's a bittersweet day for fans, but hopefully the release of the final film in the franchise will at least provide the answers to some longstanding mysteries, like "What's the deal with the smoke monster?",  "Whatever happened to that Russian Paulie and Christopher let escape into the pine barrens?" and "So did A and X meet at this place last year, or what?"

Okay, so maybe I don't know anything about the Harry Potter franchise.  But our very own Daily Grace does...

And today, she bids a tearful adieu to the Boy Who Lived.  But if you want to avoid the waterworks, you can check in on Ms. Helbig in happier times, watching Part 1 of Deathly Hallows, or over on her Tumblr, wherein she ups her Hogwarts cosplay game considerably.


Win With My Damn Channel



We'd like to issue this public service announcement to encourage you to check out the Versailles Sweepstakes happening over on our Facebook page, and to emphasize the fact that people really do win with My Damn Channel.

Don't believe us?

Ask Sharon Cruz-Nichols (and hubby), winners of our Book of Mormon sweepstakes, who are flying to New York THIS VERY WEEK to watch Gigi star Josh Gad in Broadway's most talked-about new musical, The Book of Mormon. Here's a picture of the lucky couple...



Holy shirt! Speaking of, here's YouTuber ImpactAssault looking classically debonair in basic My Damn Channel black...



And if you wanna to take a video or snap a pic of yourself doing something cool in My Damn Channel gear, send it in. We'll post it on the blog and give you a shout out. Don't have a shirt? Well, you could just win one.

How?

Glad you asked! Starting THIS WEEK we'll be giving away a free My Damn Channel t-shirt to the person who gets the most friends to enter the Versailles Sweepstakes (see how I tied that all together?) We'll give away t-shirts each week for the next three weeks. Thanks for entering, and see you in L.A.!


Josh Gad, reviewed

Hopefully by now you've had a chance to Speak, Learn English and Donate Good Cause with everyone's favorite new cousin from the old world, Gigi. And surely you've heard about the new Broadway hit "The Book of Mormon," from South Park creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, which just happens to star one Mr. Josh Gad, the man behind Gigi.

According to the Hollywood Reporter, Josh "may be giving the single funniest, most endearing performances on Broadway." And Variety says Josh plays his part "with a nervous cackle and the gentility of a young John Belushi." Not too shabby coming from two of entertainment reporting's most enduring and respected publications.

Want to hear what Josh has to say about getting involved in "The Book of Mormon?" Then check out his interview in this Entertainment Weekly interview.

But maybe you don't live near Broadway, or can't get tickets. Don't worry, 'cause Josh is here on My Damn Channel every week as Gigi. So tell your friends, tell your family, and tell your huddled masses yearning to breathe free..


Gigi Premieres March 23


Our pal Josh Gad is, as they say, blowin' up big time, with supporting roles in big-budget Hollywood melodramas and a co-lead role in the new Broadway hit The Book of Mormon, the latter of which is currently making the critics swoon, Outer Darkness be damned.  And Josh will also be on the Today Show tomorrow morning, Saturday March 19th, to further his Gadian agenda.  So set your alarm, wake up early, and tune in to NBC.

If that wasn't enough, Josh is set to unleash the final prong of his multilevel media-domination masterplan next week in the form of Gigi: Almost American, which premieres right here on My Damn Channel next week, starting March 23. 

Part Borat, part Latka Gravas, and all Gad, Gigi is the befuddled, accident-prone outsider lurking inside all of us: earnest, well-meaning, and utterly clueless.  So stop by next Wednesday, grab a pig dog, roll down your windows, and howl at the moon.
