Tonight Noah Garfinkel and I bring you a very special show. Not only are we planning on bringing our A-games, but we have incredible guests as well.

The very tall and wonderful Gary Gulman will be stopping by. (HBO, Last Comic Standing)

Recently crowned “the next Sarah Silverman,” the one and only Chelsea Peretti will grace the stage. (superdeluxe.com, Variety SHAC)

A regular at many impressive comedy clubs above and below 14th Street, the eloquent Matt Ruby. (host of Flying Carpet)

The director of the world-famous Totally J/K videos “Lunchtime” and “Explain that Face,” our good friend Oren Brimer, will show us all why he gets paid to make youtubes.

Plus, there may be a another super-secret special guest, but I can’t tell you who it is. (Let’s just say it’ll be a Mo’Nique experience for everyone who comes!)

TOTALLY J/K
TONIGHT @ 8pm

A few months ago, I confessed to having an intense fear of laughing babies.

But, after seeing this, I feel much better. Vindicated, even.

(Thanks to fellow baby-hater, Max.)

Did you hear about Barrington Irving, the 23 year-old kid who just finished flying around the world? Yeah, you read that right. He flew AROUND THE WORLD! In an AIRPLANE!

HE DID IT!

Wait a minute, is this the 21st century? It is, right?

I just got a little confused because it’s 2007 and the New York Times just published a story celebrating a person for flying around the world. And not with a jet-pack.

“My plane had no radar and no de-icing equipment,” said Mr. Irving, after the Rao’s crowd welcomed him back to earth with a warm ovation. “It was just me up there, alone, flying on gut instinct — pretty much the way Charles Lindbergh and Amelia Earhart did it.”

Yeah, I guess it was pretty much the same way. Except now you live in an age where people fly all the time. Oh, also, the moon? We did that, too. Over forty years ago.

The trip, which cost roughly a million dollars, was rejected by more than 50 different sponsors.

Uhm, no shit? A million dollars? Seriously? What? WHAT? Do you know what else you could buy for a million dollars? Like, five jet-packs. What an idiot.

Barrington Irving: Hi, I’m looking for sponsors to help pay for my trip around the world.
Sponsor: (Opens wallet) Okay, how much are you looking for?
Barrington Irving: About a million dollars.
Sponsor: Did you just say a million dollars? Go away. Are you retarded?

96 days, a million dollars, and an outdated dream. That’s all it takes.

Hey, look what I just did:

That’s a trip around the world I just planned. In less than a minute. I’ll fly around the world in 3 days for only 4 thousand dollars. Plus, I gave myself some time to shop a little bit.

In conclusion: Orbitz. Look it up, shithead.
