Hey, did you ever think about how the universe is like infinite, so there must be an infinite number of possible things in the universe, so at any given time, every possible thing that could happen is happening somewhere?

If you're in NYC on Saturday, July 28 for the 9th Annual Del Close Marathon and have a hankerin' for the comic stylings of the Daily Show/Colbert Report, you owe it to yourself to reserve tix for a team-up of Superfriends proportions.
Alumni correspondents and writers from both shows will join their powers for a one-night only stand at 8:30pm. Location: The Fashion Insitute of Technology (?!). Seats are only $10 + $0.90 service charge to see the likes of Ed Helms, Rob Riggle, Ed Helms and Dan Bakkedahl take your filthy suggestions and spin them into ART.
(Note: We [almost] guarantee that Ed Helms will not have his nipples jump-wired to a car battery for the actual show. At least not literally.)

We got a tip yesterday that acclaimed director (and Monty Python member) Terry Gilliam would be visiting the Daily Show ticket line to drum up support for his new movie, Tideland. So we sent a CC Insider spy (and rabid Terry Gilliam fan) to investigate. His full report is after the jump.
