Bill Murray fills in for Harry Carey

Murray is given free reign over the booth during a Cubs/Expos game @ Wrigley, April '87 (Scrooged-era!) His quick wit really shines during this live broadcast. Find the entire series of clips here.

True, romantic television.

A sufficient crash course in the early stages of comedy's heart and soul, Late Night TV (narrated by Conan O'Brien)

Constipation make angry.

Sean Penn doing a spot-on impression of the complete opposite state of my bowels are currently are in.

Nice work, Penn. Hilarious. Now prepare to solve your own strange murder (ie. is that my daughter in there)

Bob and Ray on Saturday

Recently, some high-class Youtube user posted a cache of clips from Bob and Ray's episode of Saturday Night Live (6/9/07 Update: these are actually from a television special entitled "Bob and Ray, Jane, Laraine and Gilda"...mine bad). View the entire list.

Here's my personal favorite from the lot, the short film "Start Your Own Business"

Once upon a New York City..

I'm reading the Bill Carter penned book "The Late Shift" and came across tons of interesting tidbits. Apparently, back in the early 90's when David Letterman had just signed on with CBS, there was a definite possibility The Late Show was going to relocate to Burbank. Because he felt it would've had a negative effect on New York City's entertainment stance, Mayor David Dinkins expressed in many, many interviews the importance of Letterman remaining in the East, dropping one of the best, most absurd lines ever. He said he would do almost anything to keep Letterman from leaving, including "doing back flips off my eyebrows."

EYEBROWS!

A bunch of old guys dying in 1990..

Mr. Warmth!

Billy Nord: ..and you see, that's when I wrote my first joke. The next year, when I turned four, I accidentally fell into a vat of vampire blood. Ha, just kidding! What? But yeah, when I turned four..

Don Rickles: (the uninterupted sound of cutting wood)

I have a cold.

Sometimes...

Greenpoint can smell exactly like a couple of old people took a crap.

Last night...

"I'm sorry about the screen saver" - Zach Galifianakis (feeling remorseful after pulling a projector screen down over a rather obnoxious karaoke performance)

Happy Birthday Last Week, Last Year.

It was Matt's b-day last week so, here's a video Eric Holmes and I made for his birthday last year.

You know, 'cause I believe in recycling. We only have one Earth.

Today in Midtown, the following was said to me...

"It's nice to see you!"

And from whose mouth did these words emerge?

Joe Piscopo's

Granted it was right after he...nevermind. Something related to losing his vision, or something. But seriously, he said that.

Tons of outtakes from the Don Rickles/Richard Lewis spitcom "Daddy Dearest"

(Note: 34 seconds into Part One, Rickles refers to Renee Taylor as "a faggot old lady" - a pitch perfect prelude to what's in store for the next near hour. So beautiful.)
