Before They Get Stale: Michael Palin, David Wain and Rob Huebel
Monty Python's Michael Palin is interviewed while a British dude holds a giant clock counting down to five minutes. I'm starting to think The Prisoner was actually a documentary and that all of England is just that kooky. [BBC News via Comedy News]
Mitch Fatel was on Inside Edition because one of the models on the cover of his album probably boned Tiger Woods. Maybe all album covers should have a model that boned Tiger Woods on the cover (all albums probably do). [Punchline]
Best Week Ever reviews the year in film posters and it is funny so you should read it. What, do you have work to do? No one is doing any work this week. Just waste time reading this! [Best Week Ever]
Everyone is making lists of the best and worst movies of the decade, but no one is making a list of the most mediocre movies of the decade. Enter David Wain and his middle movies of the decade list. [David Wain]
Rob Huebel, Jonah Ray and Chris Hardwick are all in this music video that you should watch. There's also a porn star, so there's that. [Punchline]
Pee Wee Herman, Joel McHale, Bill Murray, Michael Ian Black, Andy Samberg, Demetri Martin, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and a bunch of other comedians made this list of the best guys of 2009. [Mod Cloth]

QUESTION FOR UPCOMING GUEST MONDAY NIGHT:
Erick Erickson is the managing editor of RedState.com, the largest online community of conservative activists and the most widely read right of center blog on Capitol Hill.
We encourage Colbert to ask Erick Erickson why he and other "political & conservative activists" have chosen not to address the major misuse of state and Foundation funds authorized by the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia (and condoned by Governor Sonny Perdue as he may be working with them after his term expires). Perdue states he cannot do anything about their misuse of funds because they have "exclusive authority" to do what they want and there is no accountability.
Georgia Lt. Governor Cagle states: “There is still much to be done to shine a bright light on how Georgia spends taxpayer dollars, and I call on the Georgia Senate to continue to lead on this issue,” Cagle said.
It took a simple Georgia taxpayer – not a legislator or Erickson- to finally disclose (through the article below) the “exclusive authority” (quote by Governor Perdue) the Board of Regents of the University System of Georgia has with millions of our state and Foundation funds. Over $7 million had been earmarked to just 7 USG presidents and chancellors.
There is more – much more.
