TBS & WFMU Schedule: Oct '10 - June '11

[Mr. Spacely]

Wait, whaaaat?  I had no idea there were actual rumors Tom was walking away from TBS.  I thought he was just taking time off to rest and put in some extra hours over at Consolidated Cardboard during the X-Mas rush.

I saw Samir.  He's looking so grown-up!  I think it's the beard.

I reported him to Homeland Securities.

You, sir, are a true patriot actor.

He keeps pretending he's British.

[not that James]

Every week Tom takes off, the more excited I get for the return.  Tom often talks about the Best Show continuing on in his head, non-stop throughout the week, right?  By now, he's probably trembling with all the pent-up comedy.  He's probably got bulging comedy veins at his temples and along his neck.  There are probably sweat droplets of hilarity beading on his forehead right now, which he will soon dab at with an equally hilarious hanky.

I wouldn't be at all surprised if Tom comes back with a 6 hour extravaganza, complete with stuff that doesn't even work on the radio, like fireworks and lasers, tons of guests, and stuff I can't even imagine because I'm not Tom.

Never heard of that bank. Any good?

Yes.  They give each customer a bag of those Dum Dum Pops on every visit.  Cream Soda only, though.

Also, I don't know if anyone watched any of the Jon & Tom clips from the Matador thing, but Tom's voice was pretty shot. I don't know if this is from overuse during the Matador weekend or some sort of cold, but in either case I'd imagine he'll need at least a few days for his voice to recover.

Tom sang with Fucked Up early Saturday morning and lost his voice.

F*cked Up & Tom Scharpling doing Precision Auto from Superc

[cavorting with nudists]

I like that!  Has a sort of Leonard Cohen/Creedence vibe going on. He should start a band!

[erika]

I say be happy Tom is taking a nice, long break.  A person sometimes needs time to replenish his juice...

Quite right, quite right...

I think he may have Jason Sudeikis dancing in the studio off mic.

[dave from knoxville]

I apologize for my showing last night. I was tired, but hadn't called in a while, felt left out, called, and had nothing to offer.

My apologies all around.

[Sarah]

Your show?  Dave!

[dave from knoxville]

Your show?  Dave!

Fixed

I think that even if Tom leaves permanently he should return to do a series of farewell shows.  It wouldn't be good for TBS legacy to have him drop the show in an acrimonious state, and I think the fans at least deserve that.  (And maybe that's what his ambiguous 2:1 comment was about.)

This whole hiatus has been planned. Gonerfest hosted by Tom and Cherry Blossom Clinic's Terre T, Matador 21, and I think we can agree the Jersey Kid is too professional just to disappear after they announce the new schedule.

I think Tom had all these things planned for the end of summer. I also read he is preparing a new show for Comedy Central with Paul F. Tompkins.  He probably knew he needed to take a month off to host kick ass festivals and try to get a tv show greenlit.  So his last show beforehand he acted pissed and said he should quit, so everyone would worry each week he didn't come back.  That is why the show is so great.  He has the audience in the palm of his hand.

I thought the Comedy Central show didn't come through?

Oh no! I haven't heard about it in a month or so, last I heard it was still in the works.  What a bummer.  It would have been great.  Tom should call Paul's distant relative Matthew Tompkins from ABC and see if they can get a show on Thursday opposite 30 Rock.
