Yeah,
Jason-

I went back for Act 2 because I love seeing a huge thing fail to its completion. And I was curious about "Puttin' On The Ritz," which was crowd-pleasing, because it was a song written by Irving Berlin. And no, I didn't pay for it: it was part of my community service for this thing I did to a guy one time (I regret nothing).


Yeah, I could see that being the house-bringer-downer, like "Springtime for Hitler" was in The Producers.  I don't want to know what you did to that guy to make you have to (or, god forbid, "get to" go to that thing, though).

BUT LISTEN!

I posted your video to my blog, which these days consists of either me whining about how theater sucks or posting funny things I get from this board, and this guy at ArtsJournal, who I do not know, picked it up:

I feel like the first person to get a deadly virus!!!
Oh, good heavens. I didn’t realize. I send my condolences out to the rest of the O’Connor family.

Whoa! Thanks, Jason: that "Book Daddy" character seems like he means bizness.



Tim- at the risk of giving anything away, is your recipe for bluefish jelly donut "stick a bluefish in a jelly donut"? because that's my favorite R.L. Burnside song EVER.

crimestick-Thanks for your kind words, and for alerting me about my videos on ucbcomedy.com so I can sue Matt Walsh.

Nope. It's kind of the other way around. Think 'turducken.'

Julie, if you get a book deal out of this, I want a free copy.  On the other hand, if you find Book Daddy waiting outside of your building, I had nothing to do with it.

Awwwww. I love Cat News.

Is Smiley a pterodactyl polydactyl?

Haha...no, Smiley's got a normal amount of toes.

The cat who was supposed to be "interviewed" in that episode, Mugsy, is indeed a "mitten cat," with freakish thumbs.

But once we got to Mugsy's apartment and the camera was on, she TOTALLY CHOKED. She couldn't hold it together. We came back to my place and re-shot it with Smiley, who is a PRO.
