Kevin Harlan Does Amazing Play-By-Play of Moronic Fan on the Field

During the second Monday Night Football game this week, some drunken idiot ran on the field during the fourth quarter.

Of course, the TV cameras did not show it, and the ESPN announcers did not mention him, but thank God for Westwood One’s Kevin Harlan.  The radio play-by-play man and former Timberwolves broadcaster was not shy about describing what was happening with the fan, giving a very riveting call of the man’s run across the field.

In the end, the guy was arrested, but not before amassing more rushing yards than the entire Rams team.

George Carlin’s “High Death Toll” Bit, Recorded Day Before 9/11, Has Been Released

Carlin’s new album I Kinda Like It When a Lotta People Die is scheduled to be released on September 16.

The album was recorded on September 10, 2001 (yes, the day before the World Trade Center was hit, not that we really needed to spell it out for you) and it contains a bit that remained unreleased until now.

The bit, which Carlin promptly shelved from his act the next day, expressed his desire to hear about mass casualties, albeit, from a natural disaster.

The very next day…, you know what happened. Let the conspiracy theories begin suggesting that Carlin knew the attacks were going to take place.

Topher Grace’s Seinfeld “Reunion” Cut

 

It isn’t as though people haven’t used their own free time and editing skills to create their own version of a Seinfeld reunion using clips from Curb Your Enthusiasm‘s episodes which were based around Larry David agreeing to do the reunion just so he could get back into his ex-wife’s good graces and win her back by casting her in such a high profile role.

..it’s just that Topher Grace is famous, so his version is going viral.

 
Seinfeld Reunion

I edited all the Seinfeld scenes from Curb season 7 into one episode. It’s more like a radio play, but if you sew together all the dialogue from audition scenes, read-throughs and rehearsals together… a 9 minute hint at what the plot of a reunion might have been.

Bern Your Enthusiasm

He doesn’t really have anything in the works, does he? So, what’s the point in having Larry David hosting Saturday Night Live?

To portray Bernie Sanders, of course!

If Sanders is elected, will Larry David be making a guest appearance on SNL every week? Wouldn’t be such a bad idea.
