Comedy Central Listened - Colbert and Stewart are now on Hulu! Next... South Park? South Park Studios was a good attempt, but now you must accept defeat.

Palin to play Fey on SNL? - It would be pretty hilarious. But please, do this AFTER the election is over. Edit 10/10/08: Looks like it's confirmed.

Hulu - Ok. This is pretty sweet. Really sweet. This website, created by NBC and FOX, has full length episodes of shows like The Office, Family Guy, and SNL available in high quality streaming formats. This is an obvious response to YouTube, and I think it's going to work. The layout is sleek, and the the search function is spectacular. It's insanely easy to use.
DEAR COMEDY CENTRAL: People are still going to put your shit on YouTube until you come out with a website like this. Your website is ugly, slow loading, impossible to use, and your stupid search function doesn't work.

Government Attic - The fine fine folks over at Government Attic recently requested documents from the FCC under the Freedom of Information Act. Check out the complains about South Park. Complaints include: The uncut movie was... uncut, one of the characters said 'hell', Stan's dog is gay, talking poop, and well... the above complaint. The FCC's answer to everything? "Programming considered indecent, obscene, violent or otherwise offensive to some viewers may be transmitted over cable systems. The FCC cannot restrict Non-Broadcast (Cable) Programming." Enjoy!

Not the Daily Show, With Some Writer - An 'episode' of (Not) The Daily Show produced by one of its writers on the picket line. It's really really funny. And full of really good points.

ABC's "Cavemen" - Based off the Geico commericals. ABC Gives us a 30 second preview. Doesn't look like it's giong to be any good, at all.

My Favorites (2006)
I have sat down and finally compiled some lists I have been trying to for a long time: Favorite books, TV shows, movies, and musical artists. Not necessarily things from 2006, but just what I like at this point in life. The items in the lists are in no particular order (that would have been too hard). I hope to reevaluate these in a year and see how my tastes have changed.

Ben Karlin
Ben Karlin, executive producer of "The Colbert Report" and "The Daily Show" came to speak at The Union tonight. He was formerly the head writer of "The Daily Show" during the transition over to Stewart. and editor of "The Onion". Where did he graduate? That's right. UW-Madison.
He gave a good (and funny) talk. And the best part? A pre-recorded intro clip from Jon Stewart. And this wasn't some general all-purpose introduction. He said good evening to Madison f'in Wisconsin! And made fun of the city of Sheboygan. "'Sheboygan'? Now you're just making sh-t up!" And a clip by Stephen Colbert concluded the speech. He wasn't too fond of our funny sounding city names either -- not American enough. His solution? He renamed the cities. Fond du Lac just became Fondue. "This is America's daryland" he said, "How come no one thought of that?"
You really would have had to been there.
