The Vibe
From the makers of The Voice, you can’t judge talent with your eyes. Or ears. Or any of your other senses. Featuring: Lisa Loeb, Bobby Brackins, DJ Mike Catherwood, and Chuck Wicks
Here’s a fun “Voice” sketch I wrote. I was moody in the mid-’90s, so for me it doesn’t get much better than Lisa Loeb. I’m pumped she agreed to be in it....

I was randomly watching VH1 classic in my hotel last night and I caught an amazing moment on That Metal Show. Go to 9:50 and watch as they transition out of the act and into commercial. Things that crack me up about this.

State of the Union Word Cloud
President Obama’s State of the Union address was this week, and the New York Times compiled one of those cool word clouds counting the number of times he said certain words and phrases. It’s really illuminating. Check it out!
“Economy” - 221 “Global warming” - 5 “Recession” - 3 “Exsqueeze me” - 11 “Grossamundo” - 26...

Seal and Heidi Klum's Divorce Agreement
Seal and Heidi Klum are getting a divorce. I saw Seal in Whole Foods this weekend and this court document fell out of his bluejeans. It divides their assets. Turns out they have the same normal ol’ relationship problems the rest of us do. Here’s who gets what!
Heidi Klum - Diamond-encrusted lingerie
Seal - Deed to glacier where Seal proposed to Ms. Klum

A 100% Zoologically Accurate Description of What a...
The horse from War Horse and the ape from Rise of the Apes enter a dirt arena. The gates shut. They look into each other’s ape/horse eyes. Animal nature takes over and they somehow realize exactly why they’ve been brought there, and accept it.
They charge. The ape from Rise of the Apes goes straight for the horse from War Horse’s genitals, but the horse from War Horse makes a...

My life is stupid and embarrassing, so I think I’m going to start writing about the really lame stuff like it’s part of a cool novel.

Cool idea. Looking forward to the next installment!

EXCLUSIVE Interview With Uggie the Dog
Me: Uggie! You stole the spotlight at this weekend’s Golden Globes ceremony. Are you into the whole glitz of Hollywood, or do you dread award shows like these?
Uggie: Bark.
Me: OUTSTANDING. Dame Judy Dench says she keeps her Golden Globe in her bathroom. Is Uggie also going to keep his in the loo?
Uggie: Bark.

Wit and Wisdom From Joel
My brother knows I’ve been down in the dumps so he bought me one of those page-a-day calendars featuring televangelist Joel Osteen. Printed on each day is a story from his inspiring megachurch sermons. I don’t totally “get” the lesson in all of them, but I guess that doesn’t make them any less true. Here’s today’s bit of wisdom from Joel!

Tasteful Ways "Downton Abbey" Could Show Breasts...
People think “Downton Abbey” is too classy to do nudity. But if done tastefully the show totally could. Here are some respectful topless scenes I thought up. I spent a long time on these!
William the footman mistakes Lady Sybil’s room for the Earl’s and walks in on Sybil changing for dinner. Her Ladyship, topless, gasps and covers herself. William apologizes profusely...

"Improv Everywhere Volume Four"
I’m in the “Mute Button” and “Carousel Horse Race” stunts on the new Improv Everywhere DVD, both times screaming like a crazy person. You can order it at the Improv Everywhere website.
Rodeo
I went to the rodeo (technically Professional Bull Riding) at Madison Square Garden with my friends last night. The best part about planning a trip to the rodeo, we learned, is that even the most mundane statements sound like folksy expressions with a deeper meaning — just by having the word “rodeo” in there! Here are my favorites we discovered:

Letter to Motel 6
When I’m shooting an episode of “Hardly Working” and have to act like I’m typing I usually do type random, weird letters. I did this one today!
Dear Sir or Madam,
I am writing to complain about a very unpleasant experience I had while visiting one of your Motel 6’s in Des Moines Iowa this Tuesday last. While I was showering I slipped on a bar of soap and broke my arm....

Billy Crystal's Oscar Script Leaked!
I guess I go to the same Crunch as Billy Crystal, because I found his script for this year’s Oscar telecast on the locker room floor this morning. I can’t believe it happened, either. Anyway, check it out. It sounds like it’s gonna be a really fun night!

Okay, recommending a New Yorker article is itself something the citizens of “Portlandia” would do, but if you’re a fan of the show (as I am) it’s a great read. Here’s one of the best parts:
Brownstein likes to say that “Portlandia” is an affectionate portrait of the city where she has lived for the past decade. The warmth is not in the writing, which leans toward the...
