Personal hero Adam Roberts came to the show last night! And he liked it!
We just saw a hilarious skewering of the food world at L.A.’s U.C.B. (Upright Citizens Brigade) called “Pig: A Restaurant.” Actress Lauren Adams tackles everyone from Gael Greene to David Chang in this play written by Leila Cohan-Miccio and directed by Caitlin Bitzegio. Based on real world...

“We see you have a website here in which you give people what could best be described as arts and crafts ‘homework assignments’ of various sorts, but to be quite honest, we can’t make head or tail of it,” Sen. Charles Schumer (D-NY) said while consulting a laptop in order to view one of July’s perplexing Internet outlets,...

I need all the fucking naps, you guys. All the fucking naps.
Says one commenter:
It’s simple. The channels that focus on comedy also focus on advertising to guys. Dudes, specifically. And personally, I love stuff that dudes like. Just not exclusively.
Fair enough! But here’s the thing (and HOLD ON TO THOSE HATS, BECAUSE IT’S A SHOCKER): Women buy things too. Here is a...

Restaurant industry satire, Pig: A Restaurant, by former food blogger Leila Cohan-Miccio, has had a very popular run since opening at NYC’s Upright Citizen’s Brigade; and now it’s poised to make its LA debut on January 26th at 8 PM at UCBLA. The comedic play follows seven characters at the opening party of a meat-obesssed restaurant in “East Gowanus,...
Breaking Up With 34th Street
Last night after Pig, Lauren and I waited for the F together at 34th Street Herald Square. It was a long wait, because the subways were nightmare city last night. Here are some things that happened:
The station, as per usual, smelled like a combination of pee and poop and musk, but mostly like stale farts mixed with stale body odor. Why does only this station smell this way? Surely there is...

In case you thought “well, the benefit of specing a show on indefinite hiatus is that they won’t do your episode idea!” In case you thought that. You were wrong.

Wetpaint loves The Bachelor: Romance, Roses, and Romance!
All of the girls — from Britt (Kate Riley), who had already been on a billion other seasons of the franchise, to Mary Anne (Jocelyn DeBoer), who can’t get along with other woman (not even her own daughter) — are fantastic exaggerations of traits any Bachelor fan will recognize, and the bachelor...

You know, I would place getting rich pretty low on my list of ambitions. I would love to have more money than I currently do, but really, I just want to be fiscally comfortable. But looking at this house does something to my brain that floods all of my fairweather socialist tendencies with OH MY GOD LET’S ALL GET RICH WHAT’S THE PROBLEM WITH BEING THE 1% AAAH AAAH AAAH THAT LIVING ROOM...
