How To Audition For Season 8 of Last Comic Standing on NBC, Without Having Your Agent or Manager Hook You Up

Posted by | Jan 24, 2014 | , |

The official NBC Last Comic Standing website is still a few days away from making the leap from 2010 to present-day 2014. But the email line is open now if you want Last Comic‘s producers to consider you for an on-air callback audition! That is, if Gmail is working today… Spoiler alert: It is.

Jay Leno talks 60 Minutes before his second departure from NBC’s Tonight Show

Chris Fairbanks on Conan

Posted by | Jan 24, 2014 | |

Brushing his teeth doesn’t scare him, but it does scare his roommate. Also, what do you say at the end of the sex-having? That can be terrifying, if you don’t know what you’re doing and/or saying. Maybe you should grab a bowl of soup and sit in front of this video. May I suggest Champbell’s Cunky?! Roll the...
