John Mulaney and Pete Davidson in Baltimore last Sunday night... before the show Davidson went to see Endgame at a local theater and bought the crowd $400 worth of McDonalds burgers, chicken sandwiches, and fries
Even if you get run over by a clown car and pissed on by a busload of school children, it's still your responsibility to interpret the meaning of the event and choose a response

Going to see Dave Attell and Jeff Ross at the Borgata over Memorial Day weekend. I'm expecting much hilarity to ensue.

Better than his early material for The New One, which ended up being a great show

New Aziz special: I thought he was a little smarmy in talking about his #MeToo moment, especially raising it a second time in a poor-me context. And I say that as someone who was critical of how that unfolded. But the rest of the set was pretty honest and interesting, I thought, and ended on a really nice note.

Didn’t like the way Spike Jonez shot it, fwiw.

He had some good bits, but overall I thought it was just OK. The stuff with the people in the front row was pretty funny, I thought. Also didn't care for the way it was shot.

Yeah it was weird how you saw the people hanging out backstage watching the special while Aziz took up half the right side of the screen, no shots of the crowd for long stretches.

I thought Aziz was great

The Pete Holmes book was good, if a bit long on his spiritual pursuits

roof was crushed, driver and another passenger were trapped in car apparently, while Hart climbed out. Sometimes it's good to be vertically challenged, I guess.
