Barbra Streisand’s intimate Village Vanguard concert last September will see a DVD release come May 4th.
Someone has scanned the program from Steve Carell and Stephen Colbert’s days at Second City Improv. It’s worth the click just to see Stephen Colbert’s hair, which would have helped him tower over Jon Stewart even more.
What Not To Say: Six Surefire Ways to Get Lectured by Internet Commenters is an extensive examination of how to push people’s buttons online. I have fallen prey to more than one of them.
