It only seems like we have had to wait eight months for this video to land on the Internet because it has taken eight months for this video to resurface online. So, with that, enjoy Dave Hill and his friend, Little Michael Jackson, in their most absurd fracas yet. For the complete series, Little Michael Jackson and Me, go to Super Deluxe. Today’s very NSFW episode, "We Can Work It Out," featuring roles for David Rakoff and Carl...

The Comic’s Comic believes in news and opinions, and yet, despite the lack of an official announcement from NBC, plenty of people and blogs are willing to take E! gossip king Ted Casablanca’s report on the SNL auditions as the truth and report it as such. That said, my sources told me much the same thing about how Bobby Moynihan (pictured) and T.J. Miller fared in front of Lorne Michaels. The Huffington Post used a UCB source not named Moynihan to confirm the news. Meanwhile, everyone has been congratulating Moynihan on his Facebook page for the past week. I only bring this up because, well, 1) the show doesn’t debut for three more weeks, and 2) lots of people thought this cast hiring had happened last season. So keep your congrats on the down and low for now. That is all. By the way, as I noted earlier this summer, and both E! and Huffington Post agree, Michaels also will need to hire a funny female to replace Amy Poehler when she leaves for motherhood and Sitcom Land. We’ll need to stay tuned for the official word soon enough. UPDATED! It’s official. NBC confirmed Wednesday that Bobby Moynihan will join the cast of SNL when it returns Sept. 13. So, congrats,...

Better luck next time,...

Looky, look, it’s a new stand-up video of Pete Holmes, performing at the last CollegeHumor Live show at the UCB Theatre in NYC. It’s CollegeHumor, so naturally, it’s a little NSFW, but also got slick editing and soundtracking, so yay for that. This is a good opportunity to mention that there’s another edition of CollegeHumor Live on Thursday at the UCB (click here for info). Also an even better opportunity to remind you that Pete Holmes and his comedy colleagues at FrontPageFilms are finalists for the big What Would You Do For a Klondike Bar video contest, so hurry up and vote by Aug. 30 and you could win, too. In the meantime, Pete Holmes! See more funny videos and funny pictures at...
