The NY Press interviewed me about my show Workdays with Maury. You should check it out.
In case you were wondering, the NY Press is New York’s “premier alternative newspaper,” which is great because Alternative news is my favorite kind of news. The Iraq War is all over the place, like T. Pain. Therefore, my show at UCB is Santogold. Or something. How about a Lil Wayne mixtape? Yeah, that’s better. Workdays with Maury is Da Drought 3 of news.

This weekend I was watching Animal Planet and happened to catch their coverage of the 2008 World’s Ugliest Dog Competition, which I believe was hosted by MADtv’s Debra Wilson (aka T-Pain without the top hat and goatee.) If you’ve never seen or heard of the World’s Ugliest Dog Competition before, it’s a beauty pageant for dogs, except all the dogs are super ugly and almost always severely handicapped. Retarded, a lot of them are retarded. It’s basically like the Special Olympics for dogs, only it’s entirely superficial and kind of mean-spirited. Anyway, the winner was a dog named Archie, but I found myself rooting for Elwood and Munchkin.

What made this year’s competition extra exciting was it’s unpredictability. The perennial champion, a very ugly dog named “Sam,” had just died, so it was anyone’s game. And, of course, Animal Planet made a heartwarming memorial video about the recently deceased Sam:

That video isn’t weird or racist at all. In fact, I’d go so far as to say Tiger Woods is the Sam the ugly dog of golf.

Exhibit A:

(NOT PHOTOSHOPPED)

Okay, so then immediately after the World’s Ugliest Dog Competition was the Animal Planet reality show called “Groomer Has It,” which is a reality show about people who apparently want to be dog groomers. The front-runner is a gay stereotype named “Artist.” Please watch this clip of Artist:

Tiger Woods is the champion of self-grooming gay blind dogs.

My friend Kyle Weber made this. It’s retarded.

For years now, I’ve wanted to have a baby; a tiny little human (or chimpanzee) infant that I could hang out with, talk to, and educate. The thing is, I’m a really busy dude. I simply don’t have the time it takes to be a parent. Plus, I only want a baby. I don’t want a thing that will eventually grow up into something else. I just want a baby that’ll stay a baby and won’t bother me with a bunch of pooping, or crying, or breathing, or moving at all. Basically, I want a frozen baby, which is illegal. And that’s probably a good thing, because I’m super clumsy. I’m not going to spend a ton of money submerging a baby in a vat of liquid nitrogen only to accidentally drop it on my kitchen floor like a week later, shattering into a million pieces. I bet that’s such a mess.

That’s why I’m so excited to announce that I’ve decided to adopt…a cream puff baby…from www.creampuffbabies.com!!! What’s a cream puff baby, exactly? I’m not really sure, but the website says they are “Custom babies made to order!!”

Here’s the cream puff baby mission statement:

Our goal is to capture and create the beauty and realism of infancy into breathtaking “One of a Kind Babies” to be treasured for generations…Each baby reborn at “Cream Puff Babies Nursery” has been given many hours of time, love and care to achieve the most realistic lifelike look. These are “One-of-a Kind Babies” that will never be duplicated.

These are the cream puff babies I’m considering…

Baby Christopher:

“He likes to play with his ears.”

Baby Thomas:

“Thomas didn’t like having his “first bath” so we quickly got him dried off and wrapped up so he’d be warm…I also made him a magnet umbilical cord with clamp that can be used for more display options.”

Baby Kaitlyn:

“We tried giving her a pacifier. She didn’t much like that neither!! She still cried.”

Baby Miracle:

“His head needs supporting just like a real baby’s head when you hold him.”

I don’t know. Maybe I don’t want a baby. Maybe I want a micro-preemie?

Or, maybe I don’t want a micro-preemie. Maybe I want a baby monkey.

Or two?

There’s no Frequently Asked Questions section on creampuffbabies.com, but I think there should be. Here are mine:

• Wait, whaaaat?
• What the fuck is this?
• Why are they called cream puff babies?
• Who would…I don’t…seriously, what is this?

See him tonight at Totally JK. Along with Chris Gethard, Lucas Held, Billy Conohan, and more! Look at the flier, dummy.

If you feel like it, why don’t you check out the weekly blog Noah Garfinkel and I are writing for Comedy Central? (I hope you love politics and/or an overabundance of embedded Red Lasso videos!)

Earlier this afternoon, singer R. Kelly was found not guilty on all 14 charges of his child pornography case.

GULP! You know this verdict means? KID RIOTS!!!

When asked what he planned to do now that he is legally vindicated, R. Kelly told journalists, “I’m going to Disney World! No, seriously. I’m going to Disney World and taking a leak on all those lil’ motherf*ckers!”

(There. I did it. You’re welcome for that timely reference.)

You guys…Chinese people? Am I right?

I just read an article on bbc.com that says a bunch of them are naming their babies “The Olympic Games” in honor of the upcoming festivities in Beijing.

I watched The Olympic Games on Maury. Fat baby episode, obviously.

More than 4,000 children in China have been given the name Aoyun, meaning Olympic Games, in the past 15 years…Officials in charge of identity cards say that more than 92% of the 4,104 registered Aoyuns are boys.

A family in China is only allowed to have one Olympic Games. That’s why they’re going to win the gold in infanticide (and getting a seat on the subway (and now I’m just being racist)).

I wish Americans named their babies after events. My name would be so much cooler. Something like Hitler Diaries Mande. Or Bjorn Borg Retires From Professional Tennis Mande. Or Ghandi Wins Oscar For Best Picture Mande. Or Anything Else That Happened in 1983 Mande.
