Monday night, I went to the ECNYs (or as host Jon Friedman called it, the Elephants Can Not Yawn Awards) and I brought my handy friend Mr. Flip Cam with me. There was a red carpet, with lights and a velvet rope. Shit just got real (classy). It was weird seeing some of the usually schlubby comics dressing marginally less schlubby. I talked to some of the very talented nominees and presenters before the show. Enjoy!
