The Comedy Nerds

Comedians make people laugh.  That's what they were born to do.  But to spite what people think that's not all they can do.  This week we look at comedians who have decided to branch out and doing things beyond the comedy world.  Are they damaged by their funny reputation?  What can they do to be taken seriously? Has anyone really ever pulled it off? Plus, the dog pound returns, Charlie Sheen may eventually stop annoying everyone and has Adam Sandler finally used up all his Happy Gilmore funny chips? Plus plus, we discuss our upcoming hiatus.

What are you lookin' at?  You want a knuckle sandwich? Oh, you just want to know what this week's episode is about.  Fine.  This week we're talking about a$$hole comedians.  Why is it so many comedians have such a douchey persona and why do we love it so much.  I'm very much thinking about you here Daniel Tosh.  I know you are reading this. Plus. how can The Munsters reboot is a drama, the internet gives us a Community video game and Camille gets all kinds of personal. Is that enough for you?  Good.  Now make like a tree and get out of here.

This week our topic comes straight from the mailbag, or twitter bag as is more accurately the case.  We look at content vs. delivery.  Which is more important; the pretty words or the way that you say them? We're joined this week by Rachel Korowitz and Jeff Scherer who help figure it out. Plus we look at the impact of SNL losing Andy Samberg, discuss if anyone will watch the Fraggle Rock movie and encourage everyone to read the new book Tasteful Nudes by friend of the show Dave Hill.

This week all the major networks announced their new fall season.  In this week's episode comedian Andy Kleiman joins us as we break down all the new comedy shows coming to your TV tube.  What's worth checking out and what's pretty much already cancelled? (I'm looking at you awful NBC sitcom with a monkey) And which of your favorite shows will be returning to the air next year? (A lot of them, but almost all for only 13 episodes.  Stupid short seasons) Plus, come to New York to check out the Ghostbusters tour, how much would radio Howard Stern hate TV Howard Stern and at what age does solving TV crime become important.
