New Video from The State!

April 15, 2008 AT 11:12AM | Comments (0)

Remember last July when I said The State was finally coming to DVD? Yeah, um, well... not so much. As of March 23, the box-set appears to still be in limbo. But, there's still some good news today for State fanatics like you and me. It's video of a new State sketch!

Civil War Hospital comes from a recent live reunion show at the UCB Theater in LA. Oh, also, it's fucking hilarious.

Reno 911 Protects WGA Picketers

November 7, 2007 AT 05:10PM | Comments (3)

Reno_2 Via Defamer: It appears that Jim Dangle and Travis Junior of the Reno Sheriff's Department are part of some kind of special WGA strike-protection detachment. Or, in real life terms, Thomas Lennon and Ben Garant were having a slow day and decided to amuse the picketers outside Sunset Gower studios. Either way, it's kind of adorable.

Please Please Please Let There Be a Lennon/Garant Penned Morrissey Musical

September 7, 2007 AT 02:16PM | Comments (1)

296492 NME is reporting that R. Ben Garant and Thomas Lennon of Reno 911! are writing a Broadway musical based on the songs of Morrissey and The Smiths. Before you start jumping up and down and screaming, though, Frankly Mr. Shankly, I'm not buying it. Consider the source:

Lennon told New York Metro: "I have an outline in my head, like 'Mamma Mia'- type musical but with them music of Morrissey called 'I've Changed My Plea To Guilty'. It's for a very diehard set of fans."

Um, so he just said that in an interview?  It's just 'an outline in his head'? I think This Charming Man was just making a joke. All kinds of sites are latching on to this story, but I'm going to stretch out and wait until it's confirmed. (I'll stop now - this Joke Isn't Funny Anymore)

However, it's impossible not to imagine potential plots. Off the top of my head: The Last of the Famous International Playboys is Hand in Glove with a Hairdresser on Fire until he finds out his Girlfriend is in a Coma and pregnant with a Monster spawned last November. And Heaven Knows He's Miserable Now.
