WatchOne day I was pitching this video in a meeting. A few weeks later, Nick & Charles were making it far better than I ever could have imagined.
Today I shot with the following people.
It was a pretty good day.

Ridiculous Capone is my favorite new rapper. “Parks N’ Wreck” is such a dope track. Can’t wait to buy “Hardcore No Apologies” when it drops.
“Clip Cup mean nothing brah.”
An Olyphant never forgets. Craig Healy 4 Lyfe!
Agreed.
Aspirin Between Their Knees And Other Great...
In case you somehow missed it, Foster Friess (holy shit, that is his real name), had some really cogent words about this whole birth control thing. He is a very rich man who is a major supporter of Rick Santorum and so he got to go on TV and say that in his day, gals just put aspirin between their knees. You can watch the clip here:

Wanna Come To Convoy's Showcase Show?
*
I hope you do! Tomorrow (Thursday), we’re doing a special earlier show. Why? Well, because it’s very hard to get the type of people who wear suits to comedy shows to show up at 11pm on a school night. So instead, here’s a much earlier chance to come see us do our improv thing! We’d love to have friendly faces in the crowd
We’re sharing the slot with Mike...

WatchHere’s a sketch I wrote and directed to commemorate Valentine’s Day. Ever wonder who comes up with all the copy on kids’ Valentines cards? Well, now you know.
Starring Mike Leffingwell, Marisa Pinson, Mike Hanford, Drew Tarver and Nate Shelkey!
Finally! Some REAL ideas about how to fix America.
A lawmaker in Mississippi is pushing to change the name of “the body of water located directly south” of the state, the Gulf of Mexico, to the “Gulf of America.”
State Rep. Steve Holland (D) has introduced HB 150, which says that “for all official purposes within the state of Mississippi, the body of water located directly south of Hancock, Harrison and Jackson counties shall be known as...
DC Pierson: A Most Troublesome Dream →
dcpierson:
“Wake up! Wake up, Maker Of T-Shirts, TV Shows, Movies, Stand-Up Comedy, Or Animated Gifs! You were screaming in your sleep!”
“Oh God, Sheila, I just had the most horrible dream. I dreamt…”
“Yes?”
“It’s too horrible to even say aloud.”
“But you must! To name your fear is to claim your fear!…

What Obama Should Say Tonight
Tonight, Obama will give his yearly State Of The Union address in front of a joint session of Congress, scattered Supreme Court Justices, the Joint Chiefs and those random people that always get to sit up in the balcony with the First Lady (I can’t wait to be one of those people some day!) In an election year, the speech always takes on increased importance, since it tends to be a bit of a...

WatchThis was like a comedy nerd dream come true. I got to direct Tom Lennon, Kerri Kenney and Ben Garant (who are obviously some of the people who created The State, Viva Variety and Reno 911, all things I love) in a video about a fictional Noël Coward play.
The internet loves Noël Coward references, right?
2012 Memes
It feels like only yesterday we were mildly amused by Hipster Ariel and that baby that looked like it was in the Godfather. But what comes next? The following is a list of memes that I’m 95% sure will briefly entertain and then immensely annoy us in 2012.
A blog dedicated entirely to pictures of Beiber photoshopped into scenes from Downton Abbey.
A .gif of Don Draper dancing to...
Here's the Moonrise Kingdom trailer! →
I’ll admit it. I’m a sucker for Wes Anderson and sad, shirtless Bill Murray.
What is wrong with the New York Times?
Shorter version: “Should The NY Times Actually Practice Journalism?”
From the Public Editors Journal at the NY Times.
I’m looking for reader input on whether and when New York Times news reporters should challenge “facts” that are asserted by newsmakers they write about
It’s like a chef in a restaurant asking “Should I cook and prepare food, or just toss some Lean...

In this presidential election cycle can you handle just one more Republican debate? If that already sounds like a joke — and we haven’t even mentioned that it will be moderated by Larry King and its panelists will include Mike Tyson — that’s precisely the goal of a satirical event that will be presented on Friday morning by Yahoo! and Funny or Die and hopefully offer some comic relief from...
WatchKennigan! Master of Disguise!
This is Scott Gairdner’s FoD 80s TV intro, and it is amazing. Starring John O’Hurley and featuring what will most likely be the best fake moustache gag of 2012.
Anonymous asked: When did you film the Fod segment with Jennifer Beals? What was it to work with her and is she a good comedic actress?
Why Obama’s Defying The GOP And Appointing Top...
The White House confirmed Wednesday morning that President Obama will announce a recess appointment for Richard Cordray to run the Consumer Financial Protection Bureau at a speech in Ohio later today. Cordray was a well-liked Ohio Attorney General until last year, after he was toppled by the GOP midterm wave in 2010. Cordray’s an accidental victim of a brazen act of GOP obstruction. They’re...
