2008-06-23 12:50:00 AP - Dody Goodman, the delightfully daffy comedian known for her television appearances on Jack Paar's late-night talk show and as the mother on the soap-opera parody "Mary Hartman, Mary Hartman," has died at 93.

Comedian Rajpal Yadav, will be seen locking lips with an American girl
2008-05-29 12:03:00 Yes, it’s true! In his forthcoming flick Hastey-Hastey, comedian Rajpal Yadav, will be seen locking lips with an American girl. We spoke exclusively to Rajpal Yadav about it and also about the movie.?It was a normal experience and nothing which was different. One of my characters in the movie keeps on chasing phirangi girls and even likes to hang around with them. The script demanded it so as an actor it is my job to perform rather than create any trouble around the scene. For me also it was a character and nothing more than that because even as a person I myself did not want to do anything which would look false on the screen. When the movie is released, everybody will see for themselves,’ Rajpal says about the kissing scene.Since Rajpal has not kissed on screen in the past, we asked him about his initial reaction to the scene, ?I was told about the scene when the script was narrated to me. So it is not like that I was not told and suddenly the scene was included. But I...

Robert Schimmel, CANCER ON $5 A DAY, author, standup comedian: Mr. Media Au
2008-04-23 18:55:00 I tried my hand at stand-up comedy twice in college, once as a freshman at the University of Miami and again a year later at the University of Florida. And no, I wasn?t so bad at Miami that I was asked to leave. They were a lot more subtle than that. Anyway, I gave up that dream early. It?s a tough, humiliating life, not for me. Now, Robert Schimmel, on the other hand, is one of the best stand-up comedians of his generation. He, like Richard Belzer before him, is the guy other comedians watch and measure themselves against. He is naturally funny and naturally crude, rude, and not recommended for listeners under the age of 18. That?s my way of saying if you?re too young to drink or if you?re easily offended, tune out now. The button-down mind of Bob Newhart this definitely is not. These days, Schimmel is still out doing his job making people laugh, but there is a twist. In 2000, when his career was reaching new heights, he was diagnosed with Stage III non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, cancer. ...

The Best of Lame/Cool: The Best Comedian Who's So Lame He's Cool.
2008-04-13 20:34:00 April is Lame/Cool month-- the month I'm taking to explain (drive into the ground) the concept of things that are so lame they're cool. Let's all take a look at Jim Gaffigan over there on the left, before we consider how I'm kind of cheating here.What do you think? Granted, comedians are not exactly the most photogenic bunch of people. They probably developed comic abilities as a protective mechanism against people picking on them or turning them down for dates or otherwise rejecting or criticizing them. (I got rejected and picked on plenty, but never developed the comic abilities that some great comedians did. I did develop a pretty healthy set of neuroses, though, and those neuroses serve as their own form of protection.)(I hope.)(Those neuroses also serve to make me realize just how crazy I am, such as when I'll decide to have a bite-sized cookie, just one, at 9:00 p.m., and just after I swallow it, my collar feels tight, and my neck feels fatter, and I can almost feel my ch...

Being There: Sellers Was Not "Only" the Best Comedian Of All Time
2008-03-12 05:54:00 There are separate degrees of isolation. Some isolated people do it deliberately. Some people are isolated because they are too innocent, therefore they are too misunderstood. The latter explains Peter Sellers in Being There: A movie which only “could” bring an Oscar for him. Chancy Gardener is genuinely no one but a man named Chance who happens to work as a gardener for a sick old man who dies and leaves him alone; therefore he has to leave the big house (he is only the gardener). Chance has never been allowed to leave the house so his life is his television. When he’s kicked out of the house everything he encounters reminds him of what he has seen on television: some make him laugh and some cause him wonder. Through a small accident he becomes acquainted with a veteran politician and his family. He feels like this is his new home somehow and almost resides her and his new family loves him too much. His simple quotes based on all he ever knows from TV and gardening becomes sp...

Comedian Justin Timberlake Presents Madonna in Rock & Roll Hall of Fame
2008-03-11 23:57:00 After an innuendo-filled introduction from Justin Timberlake (during which he lauded Madonna for her "shapely body of work" and for how she's "always been a woman on top" who "fully enjoys that position"), the sinewy singer ascended the stage and thanked seemingly everyone who helped shape her career, from her earliest dancing teachers to the critics who have blasted her over the years, and told her she was "talentless, that I was chubby, that I couldn't sing, that I was a one-hit wonder ? they helped me too, because they made me question myself and they pushed me to be better, and I am grateful for their resistance." Justin?s speech was a very difficult hard try to be funny and smart. Well Justin can?t be perfect, right? The thing was so totally scripted and a Britney joke always comes easy, specially when she?s down."Madonna has changed the way our world sounded, she's changed the way our world looks, and somehow she still found time to publicly kiss at least someone who I m...

Brian Regan, a stand up comedian you should know.
2008-02-19 19:29:00 Brian is one of my favorite colleagues. I discovered him in 1991 or so before I became a comedian. He’s had 4 TV pilots, all haven’t made it.

Besides the two guest musicians and the two comedians, Aimee made this movie about trying to get some big name comedians to go on tour with her. I mean she IS married to the Penn family so she knows some people in L.A. Here is the movie in the three-parts it was shown at the concert. If you are crunched for time, watch the last part of Part 1 with Patton Oswald and all of Part 3. Aimee is quite funny and a fine little actor.
