Hey People,

Did you know TRL is still on the air? Did you know it tapes 2 days in advance and barely plays music videos? And it’s on at 11AM this summer? Me neither.

My life long dream of performing standup comedy on TRL has come true! I was picked along with 2 other comedians to tell jokes in a room full of 16 year old girls about the VMAs, and the winner got a $13,000 prize package. Let me first say, who really wants a $13,000 prize package? You have to pay taxes on that. Who wants to pay taxes on that? I know I don’t. And it would be so darn heavy! How would I get it back to my house? I’m not paying for shipping, that’s for sure. And a trip for 2 to Barbados? Sounds uber lame to me. That wound probably be a long flight, and I hate flying. They probably don’t even have Chipotle there. Sounds more like a punishment than a vacation to me!

A little advice to future TRL 2008 VMA standup contest performers - don’t make fun of the British guy hosting the VMAs in your routine if you hope for him to pick you to win lots of cool stuff. I must say Russell Brand seems like a really genuine, sweet guy. And he is hilarious if you check out his Youtube clips from the UK! Though I personally don’t think he’s funny enough to win a $13,000 prize package either.

The best part was when I got to make eye contact with Hayden and she went from smiling to not smiling. I also got to make eye contact with the mean guy from New Kids On The Block! He is really mean looking.



During a break, I talked to some audience member who flew in from Vermont to see NKOTB, as we call them. And to meet them at Best Buy. This lady was 32 pretending to be 24 to get into the show. She loves Donny Wahlberg. She got to hug and talk to him for a second after their segment. I asked her why she was going to the Best Buy thing still, and she said it was because she waited in line for 24 hours and has “more things to tell him.” If Donny Wahlberg ends up in a ditch somewhere, someone have the police call me! (Even if he’s just in a ditch and not dead. If he’s hanging out in ditches, then he’s up to no good!)

I am interesting to see how it came off on TV. I had a really fun time, except for the part where we had to stand there and pretend to not know who he picked to win, and then stand there while the really hot Australian host lady/not Carson Daly talked about things. There is a 1000:1 chance I end up looking really uncomfortable and out of place here.

If you’re in NY, check out comedian Reese Waters who did a great job on the show today. He’s a good dude too. I really feel sorry for this guy….all the taxes he’s going to have to pay! And all the lugging around of that gift basket! Poor guy. www.myspace.com/reesewaters

Thanks for watching! I love all of you.
