I’m endlessly fascinated by people who communicate in new or different ways. Josh Gondelman, a writer and comedian based in NYC, decided earlier this year to send a postcard to anyone who wanted one because he loves letter-writing. My friend Barry told me about it, and of course I eat these things up. I signed… Continue reading Interview: Josh Gondelman, Postcard Sender Extraordinaire

A Very Young Republican
This is a fun listen from Pre-Recorded Late Night, in which I am completely serious about personal and political dreams. This episode is in honor of the Republican National Convention, which is truly weathering the political storm.
The good folks at CollegeHumor teamed up with nonprofit Malaria No More for “Malarious” (rhymes with hilarious…get it?), a collection of 24 short, original comedy videos starring more than 30 celebrities and comedians, to raise money for Malaria No More and help treat children in Africa for Malaria. The videos are available for a minimum… Continue reading
Improv, Meet Pathology. Pathology, Improv.
I’ve dabbled in improv comedy classes and fun for several years now, and I have often characterized it as professional development (on top of being super enjoyable, of course!).

Totally Biased
W. Kamau Bell’s new show premiering on FX tonight is going to be awesome. Seriously, this guy is brilliantly hilarious. He and Maria Bamford led a stand up open mic at MaxFunCon this year, and I got to heckle him as part of a comedy challenges role play; let’s just say he aced it and… Continue reading Totally Biased
I was a guest on the awesome mischievous exploits + games + chit chat + charity-benefiting podcast Flee The Scene! It was a pranks episode in which we also discuss horrible cat noises, scamming old people, the Penn State racquetball scandal, and inventing a dumb charity. I played True Crime and Unbelievable Laws for LIFT… Continue reading
He puts up a Christmas tree once a week and decorates it, then takes it down the next morning. A voracious reader of history, he’s been known to clip favorite words from books and eat them. Sometimes he’ll eat whole paragraphs. His New York Public Library card has been permanently revoked. He doesn’t observe Tuesdays.… Continue reading
