one lonely success

so last sunday we went to see the taping of Comedy Central’s Last Laugh ‘06. i was pretty jazzed because we went to last year’s show and had a great time AND this year Lewis Black was the host. As you know from my about page, i love lewis black.

we met erin and mk at the orpheum in downtown la and i can barely even remember talking to them because my stomach was all aflutter because i knew lewis black was in the building. so we walked in and they stuck us up in these shit seats way in the back. this was unacceptable because apparently someone at comedy central didn’t get the memo about the socal bloggers being in attendance. after flagging down one of the producer-types we were moved to a more camera-friendly seats.

lewis did and awesome and–to her credit–erin was really understanding of me screaming “LEW! LEW! LEW!” over and over.

so i was doing my french-inspired-belly-laugh all night and as we’re sitting there this one mobile camera guy just camped out right in front of us filming us for all those cut-to-the-crowd-laughing-shots. we left there pretty jazzed and quite confident that we were gonna be plastered all over comedy central.

so they aired the special last night and about 10mins into the show BAM full on shot of erin and mk “fake laughing” for the camera. i sat there and watched every frame for the rest of the show and NOTHING. we totally got dicked out of being on TV by the kids who didnt even like the show!

at this very moment i’m composing a letter to the producer of the show letting him/her know that the kids they put on screen were big fat camera hogging FAKERS. the good news is that i’m not bitter about it.
