Back On Track

I'm back on track with writing and getting things together.

The problem with packets and pieces and bits and whatnot is that you can't post them on a blog until HOLLYWOOD says no. I made that big because it seemed a thing to do.

Did a show last night with old Timmy Williams, who's a swell guy.

Here's one of his big, special TV sketches (thanks Jon).

Moved In, But Sick

I'm moved in. Right now I'm stealing Wifi from the bar next to my apartment. Also, I have a bar next to my apartment. I had big plans to put up some pictures of the new place and make jokes like "Kitchen? More like Bitchen!" because I like it so much. But I've fallen ill to the cold sickness which goes around I'm told.

Here's something even better:

Movind Day Part 1

The process has begun. I'm moving from one point in Queens to another, more spacious point in Queens. The hope is that with more space I'll be happier.

That is a dark, devilish lie.

Let's see how this adventure turns out!

Deanna Troi Is Useless

I've been watching Star Trek: The Next Generation while I'm packing my apartment.

And I realized, for the first time, I hate Deanna Troi.

Not only is she useless - "I sense the crew is scared" - she's an asshole.

My First Joke On Late Night With Jimmy Fallon

Last week I started freelancing jokes for Late Night With Jimmy Fallon.

Yesterday I got my first joke to air.

It's the one about Iranian officials coming to an American BBQ.



It was also picked up by The New York Times.

Here's my two favorite:

Good Reviews For Web Series I'm In

CNN reviewed a webseries I was in.

They said my episode was the best. I'm guessing because I wrote most of the jokes about "Magic: The Gathering" since no one else actually knew how to play the game.

My Favorite Rejected Onion Headlines

I work as a contributing writer for "The Onion." That means I write about 15-25 headlines every week, with a large portion of them getting rejected. For good reason. The people in the office are great people.

But sometimes there are headlines that I love that don't make it. Either because there's already been a similar topic explored, the time isn't right, or I'm the only one who finds them funny.

Here are those:
