Jordan Brady has been on stage, told the jokes, suffered the hecklers and luxuriated in the belly laughs. He also knows the pitfalls of standup comedy and comedians. So who better to chronicle their lives than one of their own? I just finished watching I Am Comic, Brady’s funny, fast-moving tribute to the... Continue Reading →
Today's Guest: Danny Pudi, actor, "Community" It’s a shame Lorne Michaels didn’t sign up Danny Pudi for “Saturday Night Live” before the producers of the NBC sitcom “Community” cast him as “Abed.” He is so flexible in body, mind and voice as to suggest a combination of Jim Carrey, the late Phil Hartman and...

Today's Guest: Scott Krinsky, actor, "Chuck" You couldn’t fill a half-hour sitcom with every moment of screen time Scott Krinsky’s character “Jeff Barnes” has earned in nearly two seasons of NBC’s “Chuck.” But you know what?
