Ali Wong's new Netflix special, "Baby Cobra," was hilarious. My wife and I saw her open for John Mulaney last year, and she killed then and was even funnier after fine-tuning that set and adding some new material for the special. Not that all female comics are the same, but we laughed more than we did from the most recent Amy Schumer, Tig Notaro, Nikki Glaser, and Rachel Feinstein specials... and probably also more than we did from Louis C.K.'s latest.

Have tickets to see Norm McDonald next weekend. I love his style of comedy but have never actually seen him do a stand up. I hope it's good.

If he's anything like he was in AC last year, he's really great, but also has a "don't give a poo poo if this is funny" attitude. He also ended up on just a few (ostensibly) unintended story tangents, and may possibly have been a bit drunk. It was a really great time if you love Norm.

Yeah we saw Norm last year in Michigan and he got DRUNK. The show was good, but he began rambling like crazy and ended up going for like three hours before finally saying good night and stumbling off stage.

Wasn't Norm the guy who said he never drinks? What's the deal with that.

If norm never drinks how come 90% of stories about him, or that he tells, that arent on a set are at a bar Also do we believe Norm gambled away millions without having a drink

Is he really like this in person or is it just an act because it seems waaaaaaaay too much of the latter? Brent and Kate are just as weird (I mean that as a compliment) off stage as they are on it.

It's a character and I wouldn't say he's going to any great length to hide the fact.

Michael Ian Black has a new special on Epix (does anyone else even get Epix?) that had us rolling. I've always been a huge fan of the State/Stella alumni, but I hadn't seen him do stand-up before, and he killed it. Last night my wife and I watched that, followed by Bob Saget's one special on Netflix, and even though she was convinced she would hate both, she pleasantly surprised both of us by laughing almost nonstop through them. I saw Saget live a few years ago, and even though his material can even be too crass for me sometimes, I love his rapid-fire, stream-of-consciousness delivery. I get the impression he's a really smart guy.

Why has Todd forsaken New York? I admittedly haven't been Eagle-eyed about it, but I don't think I've ever seen him have a New York date the 5 years I've lived here. Closest is DC and Philly

Closest is DC and Philly I think it's just that he has family in Philly. I catch him in DC fairly often (omg TGS coming to the Kennedy Center...!) and his niece is usually here.

I'd imagine for the same reason God has forsaken New York: too expensive.

I think he spends 75% of the time either doing a lovely Cuban impression or an awful Russian impression.

And he's decent on Ten Minute Podcast where he just gets to sit around and be an rear end in a top hat.

I listened to that podcast a little bit but there was this one guy on it who genuinely seemed to be an annoying rear end in a top hat who was taking it way too seriously. Now I get the big picture.
