Scheduling proved difficult, but the couple were kind enough to take...  read more

Delocated's Jon Glaser: Masked And Anonymous

By Michael Tedder at 6:05 PM on March 8, 2012

Halfway through his senior year of college, communications major, Gene Wilder fan and hopeful comedic actor Jon Glaser took a break to trek up to Chicago. He called the city’s Second City Theatre, a legendary breeding ground for comedy stars, to see if they had any auditions for their prestigious troupe. They did. So with a few acting classes under his belt, he tried out. He didn’t get it, but that didn’t matter. “One of the producers in the room pulled me aside after auditioning and was very encouraging. It was actually a pivotal moment in my life,” says Glaser....  read more

Tig Notaro: Straight-Faced Renaissance Lady

By Austin L. Ray at 3:43 PM on August 14, 2011

Tig Notaro delivers her jokes in a quintessential deadpan.

MST3K Vs. Gamera: We All Win

By Stephen M. Deusner at 9:18 AM on August 9, 2011
