Look closely at what comedian and frequent CC Insider contributor Susie Felber put into her mouth.

Stephen Colbert comes face to face with Bill "Papa Bear" O'Reilly tonight, both on the Colbert Report and the O'Reilly Factor, and the excitement is palpable:

In fact, we imagine this is pretty much what it looks like backstage at the Report:

(Each week, comedian Susie Felber interviews a different star of the comedy world for the CC Insider. You can read more of Susie on her blog, Felber's Frolics. After an introduction, this week Susie interviews Colbert Report writer Eric Drysdale.)

In my continuing quest to introduce you to talented comedians who ply their funny in many wondrous ways, I bring you a scintillating interview with Eric Drysdale. Eric Drysdale is a writer and comedian who spent years at The Daily Show, scooping up Emmy awards and contributing to the long time bestseller, America, The Book. In 2005, Eric joined The Colbert Report, where he sometimes appears on-screen as Stephen's beseiged stage manager, Bobby.

He’s also written and produced three live shows, the latest of which was an official selection at the 2005 HBO U.S. Comedy Arts Festival in Aspen, Colorado. Eric has also appeared on TV doing his original comedy and continues to make comedy outside of work hours, performing, doing readings, and presenting short films or whatever (and stuff) at venues around the city. His schedule can always be found at his homepage

Oh,and most of what you just read was brazenly stolen from his bio page, which has way more info and can be found here .

Read on to find out how Eric got his big break at 19, and what you don’t know about Stephen Colbert...

(Every week, comedian Susie Felber interviews a different star of the comedy world for the CC Insider. You can read more of Susie on her blog, Felber's Frolics. After an introduction, this week Susie interviews comic and comedy writer Chris Deluca.)

In my continuing quest to profile stand-up comedians who have figured out how to ply their funny somewhere other than a stage, I give you Chris Deluca – a comedian who has written for “The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn”, “Best Week Ever” and the 2005 & 2006 Video Game Awards.  He took a break from tending his most excellent blog, What Sucks, to answer my probing questions.  Read on to find out how he got his start in TV, how he makes executive decisions regarding  “What Sucks” and where you can catch him performing these days.

(Every Wednesday, comedian Susie Felber will interview a different star of the comedy world for the CC Insider. You can read more of Susie on her blog, Felber's Frolics. After an introduction, this week Susie interviews Jimmy Kimmel Live producer Adam Spiegelman.)

In my continuing quest to bring you profiles of comedians who do funny stuff other than perform, I present Adam Spiegelman, a comedian I met eons ago (the 90’s) in NYC who’s now out in LA, working as a producer at Jimmy Kimmel Live. 

I chatted with Adam via instant message and asked him about how he got started in comedy, TV and WTF a producer actually does (besides use his title to get laid).  Read on and learn the answers to these questions and so much more – like what booking a cat circus can do for your career...

Full disclosure:  I already fully disclosed that most of these fascinating comedy peeps are friends of mine. So sue me…

(Every week, comedian Susie Felber will interview a different star of the comedy world for the CC Insider. You can read more of Susie on her blog, Felber's Frolics. This week is part two of Susie's revealing interview with SNL writer Bryan Tucker. Read part one here.)

Part two: Chris Rock, Antonio Banderas, and Bryan's comedy roots.

Is being involved with a live show stressful?  Like have you had any scary moments where things almost went wrong?

Tucker:  It is stressful, and I've had a few tough moments. The one that immediately comes to mind is the Antonio Banderas show. I wrote a sketch with Chris Parnell and Amy Poehler called "Wine Enthusiasts" that I was very proud of.
