Chris Rock, Bob Odenkirk, Norm MacDonald and Lorne Michaels on Chris Farley

April 21, 2008 AT 02:57PM | Comments (0)

Chrisfarley1If you thought last week's post about the upcoming Chris Farley biography bummed you out, grab the Zoloft, because today's Daily News has more from the book. This time there are quotes from Bob Odenkirk, Lorne Michaels, Norm MacDonald, and Chris Rock:

Chris Rock blames Farley's undoing on his deep-seated need for approval. "'Chippendales' was a weird sketch. I always hated it," says Rock, "The joke of it is, basically, 'We can't hire you because you're fat.' There's no comic twist to it. It's just [bleep]ing mean. A more mentally together Chris Farley wouldn't have done it, but Chris wanted so much to be liked. As funny as that sketch was ... it's one of the things that killed him."

Wow, and I've been laughing at that sketch for 15 years. Congratulations, me, you're an asshole.

After the jump you can turn that frown upside down by watching the classic Herlihy Boy House Sitting Service sketch with Farley and Adam Sandler.

Charlie Rose Interviews Colbert, Stewart, Chappelle, Gervais and Everyone Else You Love

March 31, 2008 AT 10:33AM | Comments (2)

Comedian Matt Ruby, the fine gentleman who operates Sandpaper Suit, has done you a favor, and you didn't even have to ask. He combed through the video archives of The Charlie Rose Show and compiled almost every comedian interview from the show, spanning more than a decade. Four Jon Stewart interviews, a pre-Curb Larry David interview, Steve Martin in 96, 98 and 08, they're all right in one place along with a couple dozen other interviews with great comics. Like who? Like Stephen Colbert, seen here in December, 2006:

After the jump, check out the first Jon Stewart appearance on the show, from August, 2001.

Seinfeld and Rock Riff on the Larry Craig Scandal

September 5, 2007 AT 03:41PM | Comments (2)

Beecannes10 Senator Larry Craig (R-IA) is perhaps the most ubiquitous joke target of the past week, and Jerry Seinfeld and Chris Rock took an opportunity to give their take on the Senator's men's-room adventures in a recent interview:

"For me it's such a perfect event," Seinfeld said earlier of the airport incident. "You know a senator, the airport, the badge. The guy puts the badge underneath, I mean, what are the odds these two guys could possibly meet in an airport bathroom?

"I mean if you go sit in a stall. I'm going to sit down in this toilet and wait for someone to try something," Seinfeld said. "It's very unromantic."

Rock said he found the setting unappealing.

"I can't have sex with the TV on. If I'm distracted, it's not happening right? I mean just the smell."
