Before They Get Stale: Bill Cosby, Kumail Nanjiani and Kyle Kinane
Jerry Seinfeld will award Bill Cosby the Mark Twain Prize for American Humor. It'll be like that episode of The Cosby Show where Jerry, George, Cliff, and Theodore held the masturbation contest (possibly just a dream I had). [MSN]

Kumail Nanjiani says, "This is my time to re-focus on stand-up and start writing new jokes. I keep a pretty regular schedule for myself. But of course, [when I started] I was, like, going to bed at 5 in the morning every night… Just playing video games." [AV Club]

The first trailer for season four of Adult Swim's The Venture Brothers just gave me a geekgasm so huge, I accidentally impregnated everyone, male and female, within a hundred foot radius with a future Star Trek nerd baby. [TV Squad]
The amazing Kyle Kinane, Brody Stevens, Myq Kaplan, and Dan Boulger comprise a list of the four comedians you need to know. [MadeMen]
