Good morning and welcome to a brand new week of comedy journalism! We have all the goods for you this week: hot gossip, interviews, TV reviews, the latest news, short opinionated blog posts, exclusive tracks from the latest albums, maybe a funny viral video or two. If Comedy Central announces a new show, you bet we’ll write a few vaguely cynical lines about the press release. Trump says “covfefe” again? We’re on it, baby, if by “it” you mean all the tweets about it. UCB starts paying people? Ha ha, imagine! Anything can happen, baby—it’s you and us against the world. And now, to kick it all off, the good tweets:
“I would be really bad at stand-up comedy” -No man, ever

My take is: all 30 Under 30 lists should include disclosure of parental assets

types “Charles Manson taught me it was okay to be weird” and then hovers over the tweet button for hours, possibly days

if you get an opportunity to stare a boring dude right in the face and pretend you’ve never heard of the smiths, you should do it
