“Taco Bell Party”

August 13th, 2012

This was a great show! Besides the big opening musical number, this was my favorite sketch.

So, Dan St. Germain Has a Pretty Great Deal at Comedy Central

thecomedybureau:

Somehow, quietly announced earlier this month (we didn’t hear about it until reading this interview over at Splitsider), Dan St. Germain has several projects going at Comedy Central including a web series and a possible TV series.

Hopefully, all of this gets picked up and put on screens soon.

Oh yeah, his episode of Comedy Central’s The Half Hour is this Fri. May 17th at 12AM.

This is great!

I’m pretty sure I saw Dan at the pizza place I go to last week, but I didn’t say hi cause when I’m getting pizza that’s my number one, ya know

Man Head on a Pig Body.
