Comedy Central

I'm not sure how I missed this, but better late than never! Even dressed like a putz and dancing like a goof, Paul Rudd is ridiculously charming and sexy. And Jon Stewart seems to have a total bromantic crush on him. (I guess sometimes opposites don't attract). Later in the interview, Jon says they're both "pear-shaped." Hahaha!

Meet Jan Terri, Gemini and all-around amazing performer. Jan has many interesting traits, aside from her ability to groove and lipsynch like her life depends on it. For example, she thinks blue-eyed blondes are rare, and she has a quirky take on the notion of opposites. "I'm a Gemini," she says thoughtfully. "There's two sides to me: straight, and normal." No, Jan, I think you may be a superfreak! You may not believe that Jan is for real. She's real, all right! Just check YouTube.

Oh, man. President Obama had better remind Joe Biden that he's vice president now and not doing corny stand-up at Caroline's Comedy Club. Last week while swearing in the senior staff members, VP Biden made a joke about his memory not being as good as Chief Justice John Robert’s. (You remember him, the guy who flubbed the inaugural oath during Obama's swearing-in ceremony.) Whoops. Inappropriate. Jon Stewart, of course, is there to mock Biden, and to introduce us to a face I hope we don't see a lot of: Obama's STFU face. Eek!

President-elect Barack Obama has almost completely finished picking his cabinet members. But a very crucial spot remains open: the presidential pup. So that's why CNN's Anderson Cooper went to DePauw De Paw University for the Puppedential Debates, where Princess, Rags, and Mr. Skittles duked it out for this coveted spot. Absolutely ridiculous, but I agree with the final decision . . .

Stephen Colbert, in his persona as the newscaster resembling Bill O'Reilly, defends his idol and the infamous Bill O'Reilly temper tantrum by showing a similar freakout he had back in the day. This is long-ish, so if you just want to see the Colbert tantrum, go to 3:08. Love the polyester suit and porn 'stache!

Throughout this crazy election season, whenever I've needed a quick pick-me-up or a laugh at the day's wacky events, I've turned first to Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert. So it's only fitting that the two of them will be a big part of today's election TV coverage, with a live Indecision 2008: America's Choice special airing at 10 p.m. EST, 7 p.m. PST. Oh, and if you happen to be in New York City, you can stop by the MTV jumbotron in Times Square and watch it there, too.

The one-hour special marks the first time Stewart and Colbert will share a desk as co-anchors (though they did work together on Comedy Central's 2006 live special, the Midterm Midtacular). They won't be alone, either; The Daily Show's team of correspondents will also be along for the ride with reports from candidate headquarters (or, perhaps, "candidate headquarters." I guess we'll have to tune in to see).

I credit The Daily Show alone for getting me through the craziness of the 2000 election, and I'm curious to see what they and the Colbert Report folks will cook up this time around. To watch a preview for the special, just read more

Sarah Silverman is back and ready to do really gross stuff on your TV in the second season of Comedy Central's The Sarah Silverman Program. Clearly, Silverman is an acquired taste (although I think she expanded her reach a bit with the success of her duet with Matt Damon), and the preview clips for this next season reveal she doesn't really care.

For me, watching Sarah Silverman causes a range of reactions: side-splitting laughter, gasping, a lot of looking away and screaming, "ew!," etc. I should warn that the videos after the jump aren't for the faint of heart as there's a lot of political incorrectness and a focus on things like poo. The first part of the premiere begins tonight and the second half will air tomorrow night at the same time. Take a moment to turn down the volume on your computer or don some earphones if you're in an office, and then if you're ready to check out the videos, read more

What do you get when a raunchy, dirty, frequently inappropriate TV event meets one of the raunchiest, dirtiest, most inappropriate comedians of a generation? Awesomeness — and a stomach that aches with pain from too much laughter. And that's why I'm not-so-secretly looking forward to tonight's roast of Bob Saget on Comedy Central.

If you haven't heard yet, Bob Saget is a major dirty perv of a comedian. His shtick can be uncomfortable, but I've seen him do it live, and it's mostly pretty funny. He has the kind of mouth my grandmother would wash out with soap. It's hilariously strange given what a clean-cut father figure he was to those of us who grew up watching him as Danny Tanner on Full House, the role that made him a household name.

Anyone on Full House is a pretty easy target for a roast like this because the show was so wholesome. However, news spread this week that some off-color jokes about the Olsen twins may have crossed the line (Saget himself said those jokes went a little too far). But that tiny controversy aside (and, really, what roast worth watching doesn't stir up controversy?) the whole thing looks pretty hysterical.

Tonight's show will also be a bit of a twofer as "roast master" John Stamos does not escape ridicule either, as you can see in some of the preview clips I've gathered. The roast airs tonight at 10 p.m. EDT and PDT. To see the clips, including an absolutely wonderful bit from the legendary Cloris Leachman that literally made me spit my drink out in laughter, read more
