TUESDAY MARCH 18 - TODD BARRY LIVE IN STUDIO!

[Tom Scharpling]

I'm excited to announce the dramatic return of TODD BARRY to The Best Show On WFMU this Tuesday March 18th.

He'll be live in the studio telling us all about his new album FROM HEAVEN and taking your phone calls! So get your questions ready!

Tom.

Oh snap! This should be great. I dig his new CD, and encourage others to check it out.

[Forrest]

I hope he does that one bit with the deadpan delivery.





In all seriousness, this is awesome.

Wonderful! I really appreciate his accent work.

I've often though Todd Barry would make the most ideal best show guest, due to his pacing. This is good news!

Todd is no Best Show virgin.

I hope that guy who knows Vince Gallo calls in again, if only to recreate that hilarious Best Show moment when Todd suggested that the guy has Gallo take him to get a steak (which is no longer available in the archive, iirc). That guest appearance is/was one of the all-time greats in Best Show history.

Yay! Best Show with Todd Barry, AND it's on my birthday. It's good to be me (for once).

Tom called him on the 4/5/05 show to get an opinion on Mitch Hedberg's passing. Not really the happiest of interviews, but it's the only appearance I've encountered in my ongoing trip through the archives.

Here I am doing my best Todd impression (that's me on the left):



Turns out Todd's also a great writer:

Yeah, I found it and it bummed me out all over again. But in a way it also makes me look forward to tonight even more, as there are no recent deaths to be discussed, so it should be hilarious on par with what I expected the first time!
