What do My Damn Channel and the CW have in common?  Felicia Day and Sandeep Parikh, that's what! Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog is having its television premiere on the CW tonight. 

How are we all connected? Well, Felicia Day stars in Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog. Felicia Day also writes and stars in The Guild. Sandeep Parikh plays "Zaboo" in The Guild. Sandeep writes and acts in Save the Supers, which is on My Damn Channel! Not only that, but Felicia Day also makes an appearance in Save the Supers as Panthera!  So, you see, it's like we're all one big dysfunctional family. 

In celebration of Dr. Horrible's Sing Along Blog's big day, we're making today comic book themed! We'll be having Sandeep Parikh and Mickey Hawtrey with us for My Damn Channel: LIVE as well as Lorraine Cink, host of Marvel's web series "The Watcher."

You should definitely join us!

How I Met Your Mother premieres tonight. Who's the mother? WE STILL DON'T KNOW! But my friend and I have some theories because we are nerdy like that. He thinks Ted will marry Barney's sister (who we've never met). I think it'll be Felicia Day cause she was all up in Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog with NPH, so, like, why not? She's also in Save the Supers, which has it's series finale this Wednesday, so I mean… she's got a pretty impressive resume under her belt; she could just play herself on the show and win Ted's heart. 

Harry Shearer is back with a brand-new album called Can't Take A Hint. The album is set for release on Monday, August 27th, but you can preview some of it right here with music videos for:

Bridge To Nowhere (Guess who inspired that one?)
Deaf Boys (A Gregorian chant-inspired song about a continuing priestly scandal...)
Touch My Junk (What every airport traveler should remember when going through security.)

Harry said the album's title refers to the fact that he continues to make music despite his last album not being nominated for a Grammy, but maybe Harry will have more luck this time around since he's loaded the album with a bunch of big names like Dr. John, Jamie Cullum and Jane Lynch.

We'll have a new video from the album on Monday called "Celebrity Booze Endorser," which features Harry taking aim at the growing number of stars who use their popularity to push alcohol... with guest vocals from Fountains of Wayne!

Hey, did you hit the club last weekend? When you drank that Cirroc, did you think of Diddy? When you drank that 1800 Tequila, did you imagine you were Michael Imperioli? Do you sometimes drink whiskey and whisper to yourself, "It's Suntory time," like Bill Murray did in Lost In Translation? Then this one's for you:

Harry Shearer turns his eye for satire on celebrity alcohol endorsements with a song aptly-titled "Celebrity Booze Endorser." It's from his new album, Can't Take A Hint, and features Fountains of Wayne singing backup!

Harry's newest album features tons of guest stars like Dr. John and Jane Lynch-- yes, Jane Lynch from the television show Glee, whom Harry knew from working together on the Christopher Guest films For Your Consideration and A Mighty Wind.

Watch the video, get the album, or preview more songs from Can't Take A Hint via these videos now. And if your name is Diddy or Daddy or Puffy, you'd better watch out: Harry Shearer's coming for you.

Yeah, I know, it's not the internet, it's TV, but soon enough it will be on the internet from the TV so I feel that I can talk about it here on this blog on My Damn Channel on the internet, and the thing I am talking about is Game of Desks, the Game of Thrones parody that'll premiere on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon tonight.  It looks like they're taking one of my favorite shows (Game of Thrones) and parodying it somehow!  Should be funny, especially since the man above, A.D. Miles, is head writer on Fallon.  A.D. wrote my favorite web series of all-time, Horrible People, which you can watch right now on My Damn Channel to tide you over until tonight.  Sounds like a plan, right?

Dan Grgas, thanks for sitting down with me today.

No problem.

You play the Mad Tagger in the newest episode of Status Kill. Where do you draw your inspiration from as an actor?

I draw my inspiration from life, Chris. It could be anything. A bird, a tree, a song. As long as there is vibrancy and some sense of immediacy present in what surrounds me I feel I can channel it down into my being, change it, and then channel it back out into my craft.

Do you yourself find irritation in being tagged in photos?

Not really. I like when I get tagged in a picture. Sometimes they can be a bit unflattering, but even then it's usually the sign of a good or funny time I had with friends.

What's it like working with filmmaker/friend Jesse Cowell?

Jesse is a great guy and I'm lucky to consider him a friend, but I had never worked with him and I'm happy to say he was awesome on set. I hate when you're acting and you're sitting around with your thumb up your ass not doing anything because the director is dicking around. But Jess had everything worked out and it was a real fun, effective, easy shoot - for me at least.

Please share with us your most embarrassing tagged photo and an explanation of why?

A picture of me with my front two teeth cracked in half. Why? I had too much to drink.

What's your favorite My Damn Channel series?

Other than Status Kill, you mean? Ha ha ha ha!! I am very partial to Horrible People. It's such a well-written spoof, and it's unapologetic in how dumb and crazy the comedy is in it. To do such a killer send-up I think the comedy's got to tap into that part of your brain that doesn't need to think in order to laugh at it. To laugh straight from the gut. I love that stuff. Poop! Shit! Dick! LOL.

How did you get so lucky to have a friend like Chris Donahue?

Chris owns about three t-shirts and one of them is of a band we both happen to like. I said, "that band rules" and he said, "I agree" and then we started to talk about other stuff and next thing you know I have a good friend in Chippy Diesel.

Thanks, Dan.

F--k off, Chip.

Do you guys remember how in Episode 3 of Horrible People  Carter distracts Michael and Margaret from looking for Danielle's body by steering the conversation toward all the amazing kinds of mashed potatoes one can make?

Well history repeated itself in NYC last week when an American Hero managed to diffuse a fight on a subway simply by snacking on some delicious potato chips.

Carter was using the power of the potato for evil, so it's nice to see someone use the potato for good in the real world of New York. 

Watch the video, and when you see a potato farmer today, thank him for what he's doing for America.

WATCH!

Hi friends! There is something that I need to tell you about: a book. Webster's Dictionary defines a "book" as a bunch of pieces of paper held together by a hard cover (I made that up).

There is a specific book that I do want to tell you about, though. It's called Funny Business: A Comedy Photo Book and it comes to you from my good buddy Seth Olenick. Seth has been photographing comedians for the past six years and now he wants to share these photos with you… in a big 'ole book!

He's taken photos of just about everyone from David Wain to A.D. Miles, from David Cross to The Sklar Brothers. Seth has photographed EVERYONE!

Help a brother out! Let's kickstart this shit!
