Bad Freakin' Luck

So last night was the season premier of SNL with host Megan Fox. The show was average at best with every sketch involving Fox having something to do with her being pretty, as opposed to being funny. The episode would have never been noticed if it wasn't for an unfortunate slip.

Jenny Slate, one of two new cast members, dropped the F-bomb during a sketch. You could tell Slate realized what she had done by the look on her face. However, Kristin Wigg was extremely professional and continued the sketch like it never happened and they were able to finish it without any other problems.

After spreading all over Twitter, rumors about Slate being fired came up. I have to say, I would be extremely disappointed in Lorne Michaels if he decided to let her go. They need to attack this in true SNL fashion and make fun of it right away. This is great publicity for a lackluster premiere and it's going to be on every talk show on TV and radio. They have the opportunity this Thursday with Weekend Update. I hope they take advantage of it.

Phil Hogan

This past Tuesday I MC'd at the Comedy Zone in Lake Norman. MCing sucks big time by the way. The audience could care less about you. After the show I read a quote by Steve Martin. "Be so good they can't ignore you." I need to keep that in mind.

Anyway, the real professional that night was the headliner, Phil Hogan. He can play the hell out of a guitar. Check him out on MySpace. http://www.myspace.com/philhogancomedy

Stand Up Graduation Show

Finally! I've got some video from my stand up graduation show. This was at the Wine-Up in NoDa near downtown Charlotte. Everybody did an awesome job. The gentleman introducing me is Johnny Millwater. A great stand-up comedian and my teacher for the advanced class I'm taking right now.

Matt Davis

I performed with this savvy gentleman last night at the Lake Norman Comedy Zone. He's a real professional. He was suffering from jet lag after flying back from The Bahamas and he was sick and he still did a great show. One year, he was on the road for 50 weeks. That's insane!
