Only tangentially related:

It's not about wishing anyone well - and I'm not really sure what Gallagher has to do with anything other than that he was a polarizing interview on WTF - I'm just saying that, personally, when I've seen comedic performers (improv/sketch/actors/radio personalities) try to excel at stand-up just because they are funny…

This seems to be his MO in most shows, which is why I stopped listening.

On an unrelated note - and something that Marc Maron would probably revel in - I saw Michael Showalter do standup recently and it was really really bad.  He brought a note book, and kept flipping through it for stories to tell.  The stories weren't very funny, and there weren't a lot of laughs throughout the show.…

Haha!  Good catch, @avclub-b20754d0f1e8ae843e00a8b39a667112:disqus .  I actually used to watch that show, and I did totally forget it.  I'd probably rank it between MMHI and The Ten.

Well, there's no accounting for good taste.

Thomas Lennon gets a lot of those gay brother roles in romantic comedies.  I definitely agree that while not everyone knows his name, most people recognize him more.  He was the star of 911, which is more famous than any show that MIB was in.  
For movies, he was in that Zach Efron body switch movie, and Cedar Rapids.…

Wainy Days is not very funny, but Wain does produce Children's Hospital with Rob Courdroy, and that's some funny god damn television.

I totally agree.  I'm surprised that a TV show was featured.  Wasn't this column traditionally about movies?  Also, I agree with @avclub-eac75edc18b8546c46893fe4b75ab995:disqus .  Was anyone thinking this would make it?  I mean, I liked it, but even MIB and Showalter in interviews would joke about making another show…

Someone saddled Scott Baio?

Yes, but I can pay $20 to watch the richest 0.01% of the entertainment community champion the poor people on the other side of economic gap, so that makes me feel good.  Also, SHE GON' AND WHOMP THAT BOY ON THA' HEAD WITH HER PURSE!!!  HAHAHAHAHHAAHHAHAHhahahahaah

B+ is pretty generous.  I downloaded the mix tape and like a handful of tracks, but I've had to delete a good number, too.  
I like him better with Das Racist.

Then stop making fun of Jews, @avclub-ee188463935a061dee6df8bf449cb882:disqus .

@avclub-e4db82f0b118fd16cd2864f1c2a3c5c1:disqus Nailed that one.

I'm not sure she was totally "retooled."  The myth of her is and the rumors are bigger than the story.  Here is the best piece that's been written on LDR so far:
