Last Laugh '06 After Party

Insider spies were deployed at the Last Laugh '06 after party in Los Angeles, where they got hopped up on sugar at the Candy Bar (that's a bar featuring assorted candies, not a mere "candy bar"), suckled at the teat of the Last Laugh '06 Booze Luge, and paparazzi'd various comedians in their natural habitat. Check it:

Lewis Black's not done griping about 2006 yet.

Greg Giraldo scores Nick Swardson's digits, promising to keep in better touch in '07.

Cedric Yarbrough sizes up Nick's "Swardson" as Carlos Alazraqui sings 2006 chart-topper "Hips Don't Lie."

Comedy Central's Last Laugh '06 Starring Lewis Black premieres this Sunday at 10p/9c!

David Cross: Not Never Nude

In honor of my upcoming interview with comedian David Cross, my posts this week will be Crossful in content. Yes, I know that Crossful isn't a real word. Or isn't not it? My point is, "Hey! What's up, Monday?"

Did you know David Cross hates fur more than he hates getting naked in front of people? A lot more, I would think, considering his bare backside has been all over television and movies. And his bare frontside. And his taint! Anyway, you can watch David talk to the folks at PETA during his nude photoshoot.

Rob Corddry: A Special Message Just for You

Acoustic songwriter/blogger extraordinaire Ben Garvey caught Rob Corddry's recent report on his own racism. At the end of the piece you can see a list of people Rob hates. Ben writes: 

"To see what was on the list I used TiVo to slow it down and there were a ton of crazy entries like vegans, pre-op-transexuals, South Africans (except the whites), Stephen Colbert, etc.

One of the entries said something like, 'People who like to pause lists. What do you think this is, Lost?'

Farther down the line was an email address and I wondered if anyone had it. I sent an email to it and got this response:

Dear Ben,

Thanks for your email. Please enjoy this semi-personalized response, and an autographed picture with a special message just for you.

Best,
Rob"

Don't say Rob doesn't love his fans.
