How to Talk Dirty and Influ…

Filed Under Records, Stand-Up Comedy

Shout Factory just put out a huge six disc set of Lenny Bruce’s comedy entitled Let The Buyer Beware. Great for any comedy completists who need to know who created the path stand-ups tread today, whether they know it or not. I admire Shout Factory for making such a (along with my blessed Freaks and Geeks DVDs. Rock!), but I wish they put longer previews of Lenny’s tracks on its web page. You see, back in the day, people were actually willing to wait through a long setup. But today, we only get a minute or so to see if we like anything. It would be nice to hear enough so unfamiliar buyers could get a real taste of the man. Still, you get a taste of Lenny’s rhythms with this excerpt of ”To Is A Preposition; Come Is A Verb.” (quicktime audio file)

This list of five awful Saturday Night Live hosts can't entirely be proven, since Lorne Michaels won't let the Milton Berle-hosted episode see the light of day again. Which is probably a good thing.

The trailer for Ghost Town, the "Ricky Gervais plays a dick who learns to be a better person thanks to dead people" movie, just went up. That's probably all you need to see of it.

Fox execs think comedy writers are uncomfortable pitching in stuffy offices. So they suggest they'll take pitches at restaurants or at writers' homes. Also, will fund writers to shoot short comedy web vids to test concepts.

Jimmy Kimmel and Sarah Silverman break up after five years. I'd suppose that means any possible bits featuring the pair are out as well.

Paul Scheer says there's going to be a third season of Human Giant, they just got to work around Aziz Ansari's schedule, now that's he's a character in the Office spin-off. (Best Week Ever)
