I want to find more examples of notoriously terrible stars that are featured in great films or television shows in some capacity. Everyone knows they shouldn’t be there, but for some reason the director did them a favor or liked them for something other than acting.

Do you know of anything?

Tonight I saw Billy Ray Cyrus starring in the great David Lynch’s Mulholland Dr. I believe the world ended when this happened in 2001 and we are now all living in a bad dream.

Did you know…

Kevin Smith was on an episode of “Yes, Dear”? My head imploded. This show was the second worst thing created in the history of man, next to “According to Jim” and “AIDS”, which are tied for first.

From Conan, the late night television show starring Conan O’Brien

Presenting… the lyrics

Vocals I assume to be by Brian Stack, Minty played by Brian McCann

When the holidays come ‘round, you can hear the sound
Of Minty the Candy Cane who briefly fell on the ground
Minty fell on the ground
Now Minty’s covered in goo
‘Cause Minty fell on the ground for just a moment or two
It’s becoming evident
He landed in excrement
But never fear ‘cause Minty’s here
To make Christmas excellent
Minty fell on the ground
Now Minty’s covered in poo
‘Cause Minty fell on the ground for just a moment or two

Greg is gone. Robert Schimmel has passed. My internet is incredibly slow today. I can’t even read TMZ - this is the real tragedy. Anyway…  Both of these comics I highly respected, and wasn’t here to post when Schimmel died. SO…

First I present a segment from “Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn”, a highly underrated Comedy Central show that should still be on the air today. Here’s Greg Giraldo, a usual Tough Crowd guy:

I hope Giraldo is burning people in Heaven as he did here on earth.

And Bob Schimmel, whose sad death I failed to acknowledge because I was away; here I present one of Bob’s many classic Howard Stern interviews. Strength can overcome certain doom, and Bob showed us the possible success of the human spirit’s inner warrior.

Hope with me there will be no more stand-up deaths. Of course we could pray for the health and safety of everyone, but fuck those guys! Stand up comics represent a tightly knight family, and it hurts whenever one of our most beloved are lost.

I’m writing something on a holiday not pertaining to that holiday. It’s fairly difficult not to be topical. See, that’s all I can write. The end.

Guess what that means. That’s right, more huffing Lysol off the ass of a Nigerian hooker.
