I remember them talking about Whitney years ago because she had either been on one of the Comedy Central roasts or had written for them. I think Artie said she was kinda funny but that was it. Was she in Last Comic Standing? I seem to remember Artie says that people that win or do well in that show are not respected.

Didn't Artie mention a few days ago that on one of the roasts he did something like half of his jokes he had written for him? Not sure if that's SOP for a roast, though. I know I remember him saying that he used one of Nick's jokes in his stand up?, and he tried to pay him for it but Nick refused.

Was anyone ever able to verify the story Artie told on "Jack and Coke" about Chris Rock being on the show and (correctly) guessed that Howard would line up a bunch of guys on the phone simply to call him racial slurs? I can't find in mentioned anywhere except for that CD.

He also talked about if you got stuck in a room with Chelsea Handler and Star Jones and you had a gun with one bullet in it, that bullet would be for yourself.

Its fairly common at roasts for comics to use jokes others write for them. Artie has said before that some people are really good at writing roast jokes but their delivery is awful so they write for other comics.

That reminds me of the Ralph roast when Artie wrote the jokes for Ralph to say but he refused to do them. The comedians passed it around the room and tried to do Artie's jokes but kept loving it up because they didn't have Artie's delivery. Then Artie took over and he killed with it. What a great day that was. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=43vlSOGAmnU&feature=related

Vakal posted:Stand up in general is kind of depressing. I know a couple stand up comics, they all work at food joints, still live with their parents, hate their lives, are very depressing people and view comedy as some kind of escape to a magical hollywood TV show that will make their wildest dreams come true, only nobody is knocking. Stand up is dead, I've never been to a comedy club that doesn't have some big name that's pretty well known (I've only seen Louie CK and Dave Chapelle) and I'm a fan of stand up. The only people I know that go to comedy clubs are stand up comedians, ex stand up comedians trying to motivate themselves to get into stand up again and old bored people. Looking at Netflix there's dozens of comedy specials from people I've never heard of, and they're usually never funny. It's pretty depressing, even Yucko has quit stand up and just writes now. Doing stand up is just a poo poo way to market yourself as a entertainment personality nowadays. If you figure your audience is 60-200 people on average a night and you're doing that a few times a month... you're reaching nobody and you're poor. Then if you're touring, you're doing shows in the middle of nowhere, living in a lovely cum stained comedy condo or hotel, most likely doing weekday shows with even less people and more frequently while still reaching nobody and being poor. The reality is that if you release something remotely funny on youtube or a podcast, you will reach more people in a week than you would doing stand up year round. If you're consistently releasing funny stuff on youtube or a podcast, you will get a bunch of subscribers that are there to see and listen to you, and at some point someone from the entertainment industry will notice you. Look at that Jenna Marbles chick, youtube comedian to hollywood. Stand Up hit its peak in the 80s, and it's been dying a slow depressing death ever since.

Yeah, most of the standups who made friends managed to find producer/writer credits on TV shows. Stand-up is a very depressing artform and the people it attracts are quite scuzzy by the whole. Sometimes you get a really funny person, but most of the time you get a lot of sad people or siblings of famous people and it just doesn't work. I'm surprised Norton still tours.

Yeah, it's too bad standup seems to be a dying breed - when I was in college I saw a ton of (at the time) nobody standups at dive one-off comedy clubs with dumb names like "The Chuckle Hut" in various small hellholes like East Moline who eventually went on to being extremely funny and having big careers. I saw Dave Attell, Dave Chappelle, Louis CK and a couple other guys who went on to great standup success when they were pretty unknown, opening or second billed for someone bigger at the time like Richard Jeni or Richard Lewis. And there was no youtube then, so we were taking chances with our $12 tickets to see 5 acts or whatever. One that really surprised me was seeing Carrot Top in like '93 and he loving killed it in real life. I've never laughed so hard and I was extremely skeptical going in because he wasn't an unknown then but still relatively new on the national scene and it seemed like a dumb act on TV. There wasn't even beer served since it was at a college auditorium, so I know he was funny! Outside of Louis CK, it seems like you're going to find a better selection coming out of the UK nowadays - Frankie Boyle and Dara O'Briain for example are hilarious and it's too bad they don't have anything on Netflix yet. Speaking of things that used to be funny, whatever happened to Richard Christy writing goof songs? He had a million classics before he joined the show, and now his biggest comedy bit is getting some moonlighting AM host to say "Ben Dover" on the air in rural Kentucky to an audience of 11 Rick Santorum voters.

Speaking of bad stand up comedy, Bob Levy's wife was posting on a forum for the Cleveland Cavaliers (she's apparently a fan and is from the area) and people were asking for some details on Bob's leaving the show. I don't think this is anything new, but nonetheless:quote:Bob got in a huge fight with Stern and doesn't do the show anymore. First they told Bob he wasn't allowed to go on O and A to promote shows even though all the comedians do both shows and even though they are both on Sirius. And a funny (and  Beetlejuice story):quote:Beet used to stay at our house all the time. One time he got really sick and came out to the living room and was crying and told me he didn't feel well. So I helped him and got him into the bed and then went to sleep. Bob and Beet had to leave at 5 AM to get a flight to a show. As they're walking out Beet says to me, "Sorry about your bathroom".

That rant he [Howard] went off on about Sal this morning was loving stupid. Grasping at straws is one thing for comedy but it just wasn't funny and he was busting Sal's balls for [supposedly] busting on Whitney's balls. I'm not the world's biggest Sal fan but jesus christ that was aggravating.

When I think of Artie busting on Whitney, I laugh. When I read Sal was busting on Whitney, I literally think he took his dick out and busted a load on her because Sal is a psychopathic woman hater.

The best part was when Beth said something like, "And he's a very attractive guy!" shortly after saying she spends 12-16 hours a day with him. Oh, and then her phone mysteriously disconnected.

Yeah wow. That picture. Beths face in that image isn't a "friendly" face at all. Those are bedroom eyes, and her body language is screaming I WANT TO BONE THIS GUYS BRAINS OUT (again). Poor Howard. I would feel bad for him, but he has built up entirely enough negative karma through the years to have this one coming. Also, trophy wife.
