Checking in with Gabriel Iglesias three weeks after health problems postponed his Fluffymania world tour

Checking in with Gabriel Iglesias three weeks after health problems postponed his Fluffymania world tour

Posted by | Mar 24, 2017 | |

A few months ago, Gabriel Iglesias was eagerly looking forward to 2017 as he planned to mark his 20th anniversary in stand-up comedy with a global “Fluffymania” tour.

Patton Oswalt performs Mike Huckabee’s Twitter jokes on Jimmy Kimmel Live

Posted by | Mar 24, 2017 | |

Jimmy Kimmel sets up this bit rather nicely. Former Arkansas Gov. Mike Huckabee, whose daughter serves as a propaganda officer for President Trump, keeps writing horribly unfunny jokes on Twitter. Huckabee fashions himself to be a comedian — and I’ve even seen him in a comedy club before, way back in the day when Comix existed and had Ochi’s Lounge downstairs in Manhattan — but doesn’t seem to have much sense of humor or his audience.
