New Releases: The Kids in the Hall Megaset collecting every season and The Onion's "Our Dumb World"

 30

NBC is working on a satellite "Office" with an all new cast. If it gets made, would be the first "Office" spinoff to not use the original British pilot as the script for it's own pilot.

In Myanmar, comedians get arrested for making jokes. A long way from the past, when the country was Burma, and the leaer would gage how the public felt by the comedy performed.

NBC's Zucker makes it clear: Conan O'Brien gets the Tonight Show in 2009. But he still wants Jay Leno to stay at the network. Don't see that happening. What could they offer him?

Speaking of the Daily Show, it's pretty gay-friendly. After Ellen counts down 10 of the best gay moments. Although they are a little humorless about Stewart making fun of Melissa Etheridge.

Ben Karlin talks about the Daily Show: it's not a primary news source and it does nothing that news anchors themselves can't do.

 25

Support for Colbert's run for the White House is fast and furious. His FaceBook group grew so quickly, it had to be taken offline temporarily.

Even though his candidacy is supposed to be a joke, Stephen Colbert polls in at 13% of the vote in a three-way race between Clinton and Giuliani. Not sure if that's funny.

Comedy increases kids' ability to withstand pain or as I like to call the study: "let's find an excuse to freeze children's lower extremities."

Borat's dining companions sue. They seek to prevent the use of the scene in the film anymore. "Borat" has already been in theaters, on DVD and premium cable. Who are these last five people they're trying to stop from seeing it?

danecookdisease.org raises awareness of people over-gesticulating and assuming everybody does something. Something everybody does now: make fun of Dane Cook.

Michael Showalter's album Sandwiches & Cats is available for pre-order from Jdub records at only $9.99, which is $2 less than the price at Amazon.

A new email service called ComedySmack intends to put the latest in funny stuff in your inbox, if it's not already overflowing.

Jon Stewart re-ups with Comedy Central for two more years. Takes him into 2010, when David Letterman contract at CBS ends. See NBC - that's how you plan a succession.

Page Six keeps up a feud that’s been going on between Elayne Boosler and Caroline’s Owner Caroline Hirsch for what sounds like 20 years.

The nominating process has started for the Emerging Comics of New York Awards. A couple of categories esoteric for gen-pop (Best Technician?), but it's nice to see this back.

Five people shot in parking lot of Central Texas Comedy Club. Hopefully, the shooter's not an angry patron who didn't like a joke.

Sketch group Human Giant has a production blog for their second season. In the works: Aziz as Texas Oil Man, Paul as Space Alien and Rob as Someone Who's Got a Big Problem With Barb Wire.
