I would check with Ms. Julie Klausner before dropping blanket statements like that.

Maybe I could have worded that better, it wasn't meant as a blanket statement. What I was saying was that many people prefer to use "comedian" instead of "comedienne" these days.

Anyways, I'll leave the spelling choice up to Geneva. It'll only take 30 seconds to change, no big deal.

I was just kidding around, johnintheuk. Your poster is awesome and righteous.

I like Geneva, but she needs to toughen up. She needs to hang out in front of a garbage can with flames, warming up her hands (wearing fingerless gloves of course). She needs to get in a fight underneath the Colgate clock or something.

By the way, anyone have a photo of said clock?

Can somebody draw a picture of me as a street-tough/hobo? Thx.

Not a fan of the way this is going. I'd much rather hear the Protégés-to-be deliver some quality calls rather than round up a posse and make posters.

Dear Tom,
     I think you should reconsider using the term Protégé. I hate to say it, but it sounds a little...errr...French? I can imagine FOX News having a field day spinning that in their election coverage. You don't want to be swift boated by those clowns. Some possible replacement phrases:

Pinch Hitter
Faithful Ward
Understudy
Apprentice
Acolyte
Guardian of the flame
Water carrier
Second banana
Puppet regime (unless Wally Wackiman gets the job)

or my favorite...
Lieutenant FOTernor

I'm still on the fence between Gregg and Geneva.

And in reference to the comment about Gregg losing points for not liking Morrisey and The Smiths, well that get's Gregg extra points in my book. Trust me, I'm local to Manchester, England.

While I would say, "Thank you,", I think I would still be of the same position. I am, after all, an English major. "Show, don't tell."

I also ask you what protege canadidate drove 1.5 hours on a Sunday morning to go to the Pine Barrens to be in Tom's video, drove 1.5 hours back and then hosted his own comedy show a mere few hours later.

THAT is the dedication the protege candidate should have!

I bet Geneva would have done that, if she lived 1.5 hours from the Pine Barrens.  And had a comedy show to host.

I bet Spike has done this, while singing doo-wop.
This may be the year I will disappear.

This already puts you 1 step ahead of the H-man. (referring of course to the Best Show meet up in 2009, where even Wally Wackiman showed up, and he isn't even human)

GLN Titantron Intro

This is a video my friend Dom (and fan of The Best Show) made to support my candidacy. I had no idea he was doing this! It features my performance as The Ultimate Warrior (reciting bits from The Rush Limbaugh Show), general stand-up comedy,  my Jaykob Strange extreme street magician character and clips of when I was on "Where In The World Is Carmen Sandiego" in 8th grade. All interspersed with late-90s WCW wrestling clips!

I believe the proper response is "too sweeet!"

Me too. I also bet she wouldn't tell everyone about it in a rather sad attempt to pander to gullible voters.
