Vinny Chase was also supposed to be a great actor.  It's hard to find people that talented - and Annie is a more than capable actress.  I'd rather her singing be perhaps not up to par than her acting.

Please tell me the televised show on which Louis CK performed that bit, I'd love to compare this performance to that one.

Louis CK is the current emblem of hipster nerd comedy?  Good lord, the word hipster needs to be retired if it applies to Louis CK's comedy, which almost never relies on reference or hipness for punchlines.

Yes, I do consider him one of the hardest working people in comedy.  He's done 4 comedy specials of entirely new material each time, he's written, directed, starred in, and occasionally edited 39 episodes of  television.  Just his show alone is nearly 12 hours worth of comedy, and I am excluding commercials.  This…

You are shitting on Louis CK, a man who's written more comedy in the last 6 years than most comedians come up with in a lifetime, for not coming up with new material?  How dare he, when performing on television, do a bit that he has already done in front of audiences which kills and establishes his sense of humor…

No one is talking about politics right now - at least, not as a lead story.  It sounds like the show you want is Studio 60.

I haven't watched a full episode of SNL live in at least 15 years, but I watched this one.  It'll probably be another 15 years before I watch another one, but I thought that was really good - part of the fun was watching CK act in silly SNL sketches.

Ah, right - I've been meaning to check out WTF when Marc interviews a non-funny person, so I think this Tim Heidecker interview is the perfect place to start.

It's a movie whose plot, if you heard a summary of it, sounds extremely small in scope but turns out to be far, far wider.  Most movies go for a big plot then try to cram character moments in there and the film ends up like a Hot Pocket - cheap, uneven, and unsatisfying.

The movie?!  Hell, I remember when A&E ran the show Videodrome at 2 AM on weeknights - it got really creepy when James Woods showed up in there.  Truly entertaining art.

No one reads books anymore, and that's one of the few movies the enjoyment of which is increased by reading.
