stephaniesullivan asked: Does the angry customer have a name on Sesame Street? (The blue puppet)
I swear I knew this and didn’t have to look it up; I just really like Muppets.
His name is Mr. Johnson and he is what is known as an “Anything Muppet.”

For the past eight years, I’ve been making a television show called NO RESERVATIONS. I wrote it. I executive produced it. And I appeared in it. My partners and I always tried hard to make it good.
During that time, I understood the way…
Doodle by an awesome person.
This takes me back to my textbook vandalism days. Good times.
I made this.
Kids:
A few hours ago, I landed in Los Angeles, turned on my phone, and confirmed what you already know. Sony Pictures Television is replacing me as showrunner on Community, with two seasoned fellows that I’m sure are quite nice - actually, I have it on good authority they’re quite nice, because…
Didn’t have. Wanted. Still kind of want.
Pretty much half my childhood in one picture.May the Fourth be with you. Always.
(But just in case, take an umbrella.)
Love this song.
For the none of you that are on my side of the Ven diagram of Tumblr followers and therefore missed this post, check this show out. REALLY funny.
This has been one of my favorite shows on television for a while. One of those half hours that goes by like 11 minutes. Remember the video last Christmas with the two guys giving each other shopping lists to read off at Target? It was inspired by these guys. Too many people I know would love it don’t know about it, and as it’s told to me, a second season still hangs in the balance, SO… Tune in and check out Impractical Jokers tonight at 10… Funny and fun and good natured. Check out the show’s website here. I just like to see the good stuff (and good guys) win.
Holy shit, I want to see this movie.
Here’s another post I’ve been meaning to write for a while now…
I’ve never used this blog to advertise an establishment, but I want to make an exception in this case.
A few days after Thanksgiving, I visited a bar in NYC called 200 Orchard. As you may have guessed from the name, it’s located at 200 Orchard St.
I’d gotten to chatting that night with Damien, who, with his business partner James, owns the place. Damien’s a very cool guy, which wouldn’t make any difference if the bar weren’t any good. 200 Orchard is in fact a great space with a lot of potential. As of Thanksgiving weekend Damien and James hadn’t quite reached that potential, but they’ve been working their butts off, remodeling during the day and tending bar at night.
I’ll be heading there again soon to see how far they’ve come. If you’re going to be downtown and want a cool place that’s divey (in a good way, I swear) without being overly hip or precious about it, you should check it out for yourself.
If nothing else, you have to admire two guys who put everything into a dream in this economy. Grab a beer. Tell ‘em Carl sentcha. You’ll get the same drink you would have gotten, at the same price they’d have charged anyway, but it will make me feel important.
