Comedian John Caparulo High unemployment, falling wages, rampant homelessness, political divisions, religious intolerance, wars, natural disasters? horrible, unfunny stuff. -------------- Listen to my JOHN CAPARULO interview! -------------- But every year I look around and am reminded this is the same stuff we endured last year. The names change, the issues vary, but the only really difference is that I?m a year older and I need a good laugh more than ever. And now I?ve put a ton of pressure on my guest, John Caparulo. But he can handle it. Every night, in venues large and small, he mounts a stage somewhere in America and assumes an offensive stance in the face of sometimes hostile enemy fire?you know, hecklers.

Black hair filmmaker Regina Campbell has a hearing to sue comedian Chris Ro
2009-10-13 04:05:00 After seeing Chris Rock's film, "Good Hair" today, I found out that there is a hearing set for October 19, 2009 with Federal District Judge Dale S. Fischer about his film being released. Regina Campbell, the plaintiff, produced a film called "My Nappy Roots" and stated that Chris Rock did not tell her he was producing a film about black hair too before he saw her movie screening. Chris Rock apparently admitted to seeing the film, but there are mixed statements about whether Chris Rock told Regina Campbell about his HBO deal for a black hair film before or after the film. Initially when I heard this news, I was wondering "What's the big deal?" You cannot copyright an idea....

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...
