Is Nick Kroll funny? Because I've not seen anything yet to convince me otherwise.

I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

going to the Conan And Friends show tomorrow night. Conan, Ron Funches, Laurie Kilmartin, and a few others. always a good time when he's in town, as his wife is from here, so he knows a lot of inside jokes about the city.

Bumping Mics on Netflix was very good. I am not a very big fan of roast comedy, but these were just three really great pieces with lots of laughs. The improvised feel means every joke doesn't land, but that's okay. I was a much bigger fan of Dave Attell back when Insomniac was on the air, then my fandom sort of fell off and I felt his bits were old and tired--he was great in this, though.

yeah i really enjoyed this. i really never liked Jeff Ross until recently, and eventually grew to admire how quick on his feet he is, despite looking like a sloth.

I love her Taylor Dayne bit.
