I have fallen in love with a video and I think the rest of the internet has as well.  It's a video of David Letterman - you know, this guy - asking musicians about their instruments, specifically their drums.  I love that this seems to be an inside joke between Letterman and himself, or Letterman and Schaffer, though now the whole world is in on it.  I wonder if Letterman will address this?  Eh, he probably doesn't give a hoot and a holler.  But I know I do: the perfect marriage of comedy and music geekdom is what this is right here.  Oh, how my heart sings!

Hey everyone!  Taking a break from the wonderful, beautiful, majestic outdoors during the Memorial Day weekend to get your internet fix?  I hear that.  I can't go more than 58 minutes in between internet fixes.  So while you're here, why not take a peak at this Kickstarter campaign, for a new show from My Damn Channel and Eric Kaplan, a writer and producer of The Big Bang Theory and Futurama, among other projects.  I mean, check out that image above.  Kickstarter reblogged it and said it was one of the craziest .gifs they've ever seen.  Enticed?  I knew you were.  So take a peak before you head back out to the kiddie pool!  

Hey everyone!  Good news!  My Damn Channel is teaming up with our close friend, writer and producer Eric Kaplan (The Big Bang Theory, Futurama) and his studio Mirari Films to create a new, wonderful show called Love Me Cat.  

Wait...WHAT THE HECK IS THAT THING?  THAT'S A CAT?

It sure is.  Love Me Cat is a is a feral cat who grew up in a dumpster and was adopted by a family who made him intelligent through a combination of science, voodoo, and magic. Although his family cared for him like their own, their compassion came with a steep price – they planned to neuter him. But with the tacit support of the family's father, Love Me Cat escaped into the world where he is hiding out in a garage in North Hollywood. His only hope is to learn how to be loved, so he can survive and some day reproduce. His path to love is through his YouTube channel and his show, Love Me Cat.

Wait...A CAT HOSTS A SHOW??

He sure does!  Love Me Cat is a talk show, in the format of Conan or The Tonight Show, hosted by, you guessed, Love Me Cat.  In each episode, Love Me Cat and his sidekick talk to celebrity guests about love, sex, what it’s like to be a human (and a cat) in a lonely society where we must be loved to survive.

THIS SOUNDS AWESOME!  WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?

I'm so glad you asked!  The show is going to be an adventure, and we need your help.  Visit the Love Me Cat Kickstarter page to watch the trailer and read more about the project.  And if you like what you see, pledge to the campaign!  Every little bit helps, and there are a lot of cool rewards and puppets for those who pledge to the campaign.  My Damn Channel and Mirari Films - the creators of this project, have many years of experience doing almost everything required to make this project successful. The last and most important piece is you.  Thanks for your time!

What're the kids listening to nowadays, that's what I want to know.  I feel so old and jaded by this point.  I remember when Bach was penning his first minuets; I remember when John, Paul, George and Ringo were touching down in NYC for the first time.  I remember what it was like when the Goo Goo Dolls sang "And I don't want the world to see me/'Cause I don't think that they'd understand."  I remember when Rick Moranis was still in the public eye --

Wait.  What's that?  Rick Moranis is releasing….A NEW ALBUM?  He is?  Sweet!  Oh boy, this is good news.  Ever since he retired from the movie business or whatever since shrinking and blowing up his kids, the masterful comic actor Rick Moranis has all but disappeared, aside from releasing his debut LP The Agoraphobic Cowboy, a country tinged quasi-comedy LP, in 2005.  That album's much better than you might think it is, too.  It's actually quite good:  Moranis is a good musician and smart songwriter, as well as a fantastic actor.

So, the new album is called My Mother's Brisket & Other Love Songs and you can pre-order it at RickMoranis.com on May 21st.  I'm excited.  Will it be the album of the year?  Probably not.  But Rick Moranis is a treasure, and any gift he wants to give us mortals, whether it be a CD or a haircut, I'm stoked about it.

I leave you with:

This.

And this.

And finally, this.

God bless you, Mr. Moranis.

P.S. - After publishing this blog post, I read that the Chicago based label Drag City is releasing an Andy Kaufman comedy album.  His first!  Wow.  Good stuff in the comedy record business today!

OKAY EVERYONE QUICK! GUESS WHO MY FAVORITE PEOPLE IN THE WORLD ARE? 

If you said the Workaholics dudes, Anders Holm, Adam Devine, Blake Anderson, and also Beth Hoyt, then you are 1,000 percent correct and will be receiving a prize from my brain to your brain via the International E.S.P. Network Of Love! (Tweet me when you receive this transmission to let me know that the I.E.S.P.N.O.L. is working properly.)  My brain nearly exploded when I saw all four of them together in this video:

Seriously though, I am seriously into the show Workaholics.  I don't know those dudes personally, but I feel proud of them: they seem like some of the dudes I hang out with and it's awesome to see that kind of dude out in the world of comedy making bank and taking names with their own personal brand of silliness.  YEAH!  THEY DO THINGS IN THE SHOW I LIKE TO DO IN REAL LIFE!  PARTY!  GET WEIRD!  As you can see, I'm amped.

And Beth.  Oh sweet, sweet Beth.  I love ya, but I am uber jealous that you got to hang with these fellas.  If you could, please send me a lock of Blake's hair.  Thanks in advance.

Moral of the story: AWESOME COMBO OF BETH AND WORKAHOLICS.  

That is all.

The love of my life, Mamrie Hart, was in the office for our BIG LIVE BIRTHDAY SHOW on Wednesday so obviously my initial reaction was, "Oh my God! Girl, what do I do?" Well I have so much steez you guys, you know what I do? I take the most awkward picture possible!

After this picture I Deserved a Drink… or two… or way more. Talking to girls is just too stressful, especially ones that are your soul mate. Mamrie and I will one day share the most romantic, beautiful date and it will only be as awkward as I make it (super awkward).
