Twisted Biscuit: The Reckoning
Twisted Biscuit is a San Francisco comedy institution, taking place at the venerable Sea Biscuit Cafe in the Outer Sunset. The concept is simple: comics who perform must do someone else’s material, whether it’s a local, a professional, or even a fictional wizard. At first, the competition mostly featured comics doing famous national comics, but it has gradually involved into an...
Tracy Jordan -- er, Morgan →
Another Tracy Morgan profile, this one following that classic entertainment journalism angle, “How are you like/unlike your character?”
In person, Morgan seamlessly switches between crass-simpleton caricature and self-aware actor. He jokes about his growing fame—“I feel like a young girl whose body is just developing. I’ve got some nice tits, a nice ass, a pretty face … everyone want...

W. Kamau Bell Interview on "Jesse as is" →
W. Kamau Bell is one of the best comics in the Bay Area (SF Weekly would say he’s the best in the city.) He killed it last week at Laugh Out The Vote, and here he talks about election issues, who he likes as an aspiring comedian, and his role in The Matrix Reloaded:
Jesse as is.: How did your role in the Matrix come about? W. Kamau Bell : Ummm… if you ever watch the Matrix 2 (which...

Halloween Costume Idea
alexblagg:
Daniel Palinview.
Though this might be one of those costumes that works best as something you just lie and tell people you went as (even though you really didn’t go out on Halloween, but instead stayed in your corporate housing unit in LA watching consecutive episodes of Battlestar Galactica), because I can’t really see many logical ways to execute it. Drill, baby, drill something...
Tracy Morgan: Still the Greatest →
You’re playing a character named “Busta Nut” in Deep in the Valley next year. How would you feel if that nickname stuck?
Tracy Morgan: I don’t want anything to stick on me. A character’s a character for that moment. You didn’t call Richard Pryor “Mudbone.” You called him Richard Pryor. That’s respect. You’re not going to put “Busta Nut” on my star on the Walk of Fame in Hollywood....
A Straight Talk Guide to Sarah Palin's... →
Jezebel nails all the angles in the Sarah Palin shopping spree story:
“What’s ironic about this is that in the past, Republicans have successfully marketed rich men of privilege like Reagan and George W. Bush as simple men of the people. And yet, they’ve taken a Sarah Palin and dressed her like a rich person!”

Omar: You know
Omar: Watching the third debate here
Omar: Is like watching the 4th quarter of the Niners Chargers Super Bowl
Omar: You just want to see more scoring
Omar: And see some records set
Sean: Yes
Sean: Obama has the Tedford/Shanahan mentality - just run out the clock when you're ahead
Omar: Yeah
Omar: Seifert too
Omar: I'm ok with Tedford running the country
Omar: I mean, I feel like it's better than George Bush
Omar: Who is Terry Bowden, I think.
Sean: I wish the concept of "garbage time" occurred in politics
Sean: So, once Obama is up by double digits in the polls
Sean: The debate can just be Huckabee versus Kucinich
Omar: Yes!
Omar: Let Hillary take debate #3
Omar: For all that practice squad work
Sean: Or you could let some older politicians make a ceremonial appearance
Sean: Like, Walter Mondale can field a question
Sean: And get a round of applause
