Jim Norton’s Hell Gig
Highlights from the latest Daily Show headline coverage and guest interviews.
Even if D.L. is the most famous of the comedians hosting this year’s Live at Gotham, I still find it difficult to find any of the MANY other bits I made from the interviews we had with the other comics–such as Ralphie May and 2007 Standup Showdown winner, Jeff Dunham. I understand that with the redesign and all, my stuff’s going to take a backseat to the great gems like TDS and South Park, but a girl’s gotta fill her personal blog up somehow! At least there’s the Insider.
Anyhoos–enjoy this one for now!
and in the meantime here’s a classic to chew on:
Oh boy was it a great week to come back. Although there was a lack of Samantha Bee and Mr. Mandvi, I suspect they’ve got something ggggggrrrrreat under their collective sleeve. And usually I have no problem taking out a Guest interview (or two) being that’s not what viewers remember about a specific show, but all of them were great this week! I mean, yes, I did have to cut out Monday’s Jim Webb, but only because his response was giggling at Jon’s non sequitur quips–not counting that whole Applebee’s spiel. OY! What were they thinking?! That and Gitmo, which I believe was only talked about as much because of Jon’s pure charisma when using the high-pitched voice, were really hard to get through. Yet still, all in all, fun week.
Oh yeah! Rob was back!! NOW I remember that elated feeling I had when putting in the finishing touches. Good times…
Maybe I really just missed watching the “news” and knowing what’s going on in the world/country. Enjoy!
Oh, and enjoy the newly FULL EPISODES too! Much excitement going on around here.
Oh boy did I <3 the Douche-Bag Off! Perhaps it’s the Southern girl in me that will never die or that anytime Jon does an accent it’s friggin’ hilARious. Either or…I was pleased with this week. Lots of long, yet really great, interviews to cut up and plenty of crappy news hilarity to choose from. Numerous darlings died last Friday.
Good thing you can check out all the clips, white-flash free (that is, unless it’s the TDS graphics staff doing it) at TheDailyShow.com. Yep, that should earn me a paycheck this month.
AANNDDDD I just noticed that the cutting-out-early thing is still in effect and that I, nor anyone who should also do a once-over before putting it out there, did not notice my title flub. I changed it but it looks like it might be there to stay. Aw shucks. Maybe someday when the DVD comes out the right one will be seen.
Most of the L@G comics tried to be evergreen, thus nasty, about all those in politics. Not Kevin Hart. He is the single one of the series to come out and say BLANK is Gold. Rather…Platinum. Whatever, just watch it.

I love watching them dig in the mornings. Such a cathartic feeling.

ACK! The basement’s done and now onto to the first floor! I’ve heard rumors of 55 rooms, and while Holiday Inn in the background has more like 80 rooms, I still worry about the height.

Altho there’s no more digging, it’s nice watching actual people working.

Scaffolding goes up. Second floor starting soon…still no information on what business it’ll be.

Beautiful weather warrants formation of rooms AND first catcalls from construction workers. Cafe sign goes up across the street. They might make their own bread!

Back from vacation and not much has changed. I mean I guess the second floor is completed, right? In the meantime, check out the beautiful view I have now. Maybe I should quit bitchin’ and enjoy it whilest I can.

Sheesh guys! Move on already!! …unless…do you think it could just be two stories???
btw Happy May Day!

So now we’re in the masonry stage…did I miss something? Shouldn’t the main structure of the building be complete before cosmetics are done??

Jim Norton talked about Hillary Clinton about 2 months ago…funny how it’s still relevant information now.

Whef~what a week!! Good guests, not just McCain of course with his super-pandering abilities, but also book whore Fareed Zakaria, as well as featuring almost all of our correspondents (Samantha Bee looks like she’s about to pop so I’ll be easy on her lacking appearance). While I had to cut out Senator Harry Reid’s adorable filibustering bit, I’m moreso disappointed that I couldn’t have just made a montage of “John Ollie’s Ticket to the Pollies!!” He and Cojo were an absolute hit–def my favorite part! But watch for yourself and see:
Oh man was this week a dooz. Too many references to Rev. Wright and reusage of footage over multiple days makes a simple recap hard! And altho I loved the blunt John Hodgeman reply to Jon’s question about spiritual advisors being a new phenomenon–”No, if anything, it’s not”– and Jason Jones’ “Hey-o!!” I figgered they’re more for the mash-up style as opposed to the Week in under 4-min montage, ie better for the person getting their TDS fix for the week in a single video.
If I can help just one person step away from the TV/Internet for 2 hours out of the week to watch this:
then I guess I’ve succeeded.
Sucks for ad-sales tho!
