I don't like to brag but I recently made a triumphant return to the airwaves doing a Canadian panel show with Erik Estrada and Jimmie Walker. I am so not making that up. Those Canuck fat cats even paid me two turkey sandwiches plus condiments!

Can't that be said of everything?

The alt-text tags are coming back. Yay!

Grandma's Boy has a huge cult following among stoners and gamers. We may not have seen the last of Allen Covert.

I am proudly influenced by the estimable Mr. Harvey. Incidentally, my middle name is Harvey, and my dad's first name is Harvey, religious tradition be damned! My daughter will be named Harveyetta, as I want to inflict that name on as many people as I can.

It sounds like someone hasn't seen "My Mom's New Boyfriend".

I proposed Nirvana's "I Hate Myself And Want To Die" as our prom theme. It was not chosen.

Cherry Jones is always great though it's hard to compete with Meryl Streep.

We did not. He's friends with Spielberg and Frank Marshall/Kathleen Kennedy, which helps explain his credits on "We're Back", "Alive" and "Congo".

Joe Versus The Volcano
We actually talked about Joe Versus The Volcano extensively. That conversation will appear in another time and another place, which is partially why the interview is a little on the short side.

Let us not forget that Rita Mae Brown also wrote all those feline-themed mystery novels she co-credits to her cat. At a reading in Madison for "Tenacity of the Cockroach" A.V Club founder Stephen Thompson put copies of those novels in front of each of us so it looked like we were promoting cat-themed mysteries. Best…

It was like being back at a Chicago Public School. It really was.

In my interview with John Patrick Shanley that's running tomorrow he talks about how he was convinced "Congo" would be a giant flop upon seeing it the first time and then it went on to become a huge international hit. Like 160-260 million dollar hit. Yes, "Doubt" and "Congo" were written by the same man.

Not for the time being. We're still trying to figure everything out. (By "we" I of course mean "me"). Besides, it's not like any sort of wisecrack could be made at the expense of that really bizarre and inappropriate "My Mom's New Boyfriend" poster.

Sarcasm? I'm not familiar with that concept.

Me not know how use computer box any more.

I probably shouldn't be telling tales out of school like this but my poorly rated, mildly disreputable AMC panel show Movie Club With John Ridley''s third season was canceled when I held out for ten million dollars. They countered with an offer of union scale and a free turkey sandwich every other week, then decided…

That said, I likea da juice. And I dig their food. I wish it was closer to my apartment.

I have it on good authority that as soon as Obama enters office he'll start goose-stepping about in full Nazi regalia chanting "Death to Israel" maniacally.
