Dennis Perrin is the only person I know who is as obsessed as I am with the comedy of the 1970s. Actually, who am I kidding? For all the best reasons, Dennis is MORE obsessed than I am, as anyone who has ever picked up his tremendous biography of NatLamp/SNL stalwart Michael O’Donoghue can attest. [...]

Dennis Perrin unearthed this great old George Meyer sketch (from “The New Show,” Lorne Michaels’ ill-fated 1984 followup to SNL). I’d never seen it, only read it–it was collected in Laughing Matters, a very nice collection of written humor and cartoons edited by Gene Shalit.

The embargo continues. Twelve hours a day on this book. I’d work less, but my boss is a jerk. Meanwhile, behold the power of good writing. (Jon says he thinks it’s Jack Handey.)

…by not working. So I’m not doing Newsbreaks today. Instead, I may go to the beach, or work on a book, or research a troublesome medical condition. THAT’s the way to celebrate independence. In the meantime, I’ve added some pals to the blogroll:–Dennis Perrin‘s new site;–”writer, actor, and radio guy” Charlie Schroeder;–and comedian Dirk Voetberg. [...]
