DVD of the Night: Stella

I'm watching Stella on DVD for the first time in a while. David Wain, Michael Showalter and Michael Ian Black comprised this oddball conceptual bizarre comedy show back in 2005. These guys are nuts - a big bowl of mixed crunchy nuts you can't stop eating until you go into anaphylactic shock - if you are so allergically inclined. But it's worth it just to see Black get all weird. I mean crazy bat shit weird, but it's amazing. Wish I knew it was on Hulu before I waited days to get the DVD from Netflix. Watch it now.

More to come from Showalter and Black with Michael and Michael Have Issues, premiering on Comedy Central in July. Also check out David Wain's Wainy Days.

Colbert Nation: Listen Up

Just doing my job as a citizen of the United States and TV blogger to inform.

After months of methodical logistics planning kept as confidential and mysterious as Dick Cheney's secret dungeon - it's now official. Stephen Colbert has been deployed to Iraq for a USO tour. Operation Iraqi Stephen: Going Commando kicks off next week at an undisclosed locale and will air on Comedy Central. All shows will be available for download at iTunes, and proceeds will be donated to the USO. How cool is that?

A word from Colbert:
