So you know that you're getting older when you're flicking the channels and you're roomate says to you, "It's pretty sad when the All-Star Game is the best thing on TV." If this was 1989, I would've been watching that thing with a scorecard in one hand and a box of Cracker Jacks in the other.

Tuesday is my one night off from comedy so it usually consists of mindlessly changing the channels while praying that something worthwhile will be on. Last night mostly consisted of the All-Star game, though I had to change quite often because I realized that I didn't know who half the players were and that fact was making me feel old.

NBC was airing, "Avergage Joe: The Joes Strike Back", which is an embarrassment to average people, less-than-average people, better-than-average people, and even comatose people. The woman who they were fighting for made out with 3 of the guys in this one episode alone, including one of the average guys. I just e-mailed NBC to have them change the show's title to "The Skanky Whore Hookup Hour".

Tiffany Amber Theissen got married yesterday. Zach Morris showed up at the wedding all drunk, made a big fool of himself, and was removed by security.

The big Thiessen married story was on CNN.com's front-page yesterday. That does seem pretty newsworthy.

Senator John McCain has a role in the new movie, "Wedding Crashers". The movie, which is pretty much a boob-fest, is a surprising debut for a man who was once trying to get goevernment control to censor movies. McCain has responded to criticism by saying that he "just really likes breasts."

Anyone else been watching 6 Feet Under this season? I find that sometimes when I'm watchign it I get a quesy feeling. You know something is good when it makes you wanna puke.

Nate is probably the best character on TV. Consistently working through his shit, trying to figure out his life. Like me, but with more of a work-ethic.

I read somewhere the other day that blogs are just "open mic nights online". I guess that's partly true, but how many of you are drinking right now while also ignoring the performer?

A couple people have e-mailed me saying that maybe it wasn't too wise to talk about Jay Leno the way I did in the Gothamist article. I gotta stand by what I said, I mean if I can't maintain my intergrity now, then how will I have have it in the future? Hmm, someone should ask Jay that question and then watch him spontanteously combust.

Space Shuttle Discovery is set to launch in a couple hours. I really wanna be the first comedian in space...

"Boy I just flew in from Alpha Centauri and boy are my arms tired!"

"Take my spacecraft...please!"

"I'll be here all week folks, don't forget to tip your waitress and try the astronaut ice-cream, it's delicious."
