So how many months has it been???
Gosh, I just dont have the ambition to update, and from the look of it none of you have the ambition to comment. Ya know what that means? Update time.
So I went to a pilot taping in the city of New York, on thursday the 7th....of April. Got it straight? A pilot taping, for those of you who dont know, is basically a tv show that has not been picked up by a network yet. I gotta tell ya it was kind of exciting, I have never been to anything like this before. My good ole friend Patrick had an extra ticket and asked me if I wanted to go. Of course I did. Id get to hang with the coolest peeps ever (Patrick, Lamott, Kirill, and Flea <---Lol..jokes)whilst witnessing history in the making? Um... yes. Count me in.
If any of you have ever seen the show Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn (cancelled, sadly) then you will know what I am talking about when I say that this show was basically just like that. It will be, or is, called the Greg Giraldo Show. Greg Giraldo was a regular on Tough Crowd, and is a well developed comedian. It had that Tough Crowd set up and essence, but it was not Tough Crowd. As the people who I went with said "Its Tough Crowd Lite". It was really cool to actually see how the whole pilot taping worked though. You got to see what was beyond the television screen, and that to me is very cool. The show ran about 2 hours, with cuts and commercial breaks, etc. Guests included...the great Lewis Black, Patton Oswalt and Lynn Koplitz for eye candy. A really good panel of guests for the first show.
For those of you who have no idea what the show Tough Crowd was...
Tough Crowd was a show hosted by the insane and loveable Colin Quinn. If you dont know who Colin Quinn is I suggest considering suicide. Tough Crowd was basically a talk show with a panel of comedians who spoke out on just about every subject there is. Religion, sex, drugs, etc. It was all comedians, so youd have that humor added into peoples views and thoughts. I miss that show greatly. Well The Greg Giraldo show is basically the same thing, but its more Bill Mahr then Colin Quinn. This show was very rehearsed, possibly due to being a pilot and wanting everything to run smoothly. You could also tell that it was THE GREG GIRALDO SHOW, hence the name. The panel of guests did speak out and did make us all chuckle, but the show did focus more on the host then its guests. Which is another reason why it is the new Tough Crowd Lite.
I thouroughly enjoyed myself though. I also think this show could be somewhat of a hit. It was really funny, and interesting to watch. I am glad I had that experience, because it probably wont happen again.
Im out of things to say, so I will leave you with a goodbye and a good tidings.
