Finally getting a chance to catch Jim Gaffigan's Beyond the Pale on Comedy Central's Friday night stand-up. I remember a couple of years ago, CC did cartoons on Friday night. Anyway, I think I first fell in love with Gaffigan on That 70s Show, and it didn't hurt that he was in 13 Going on 30, as the elder Chris Grandy. But his stand-up is pretty good in a self-aware, dry way and this special was no exception.
On a different note, I was watching an old ep of Friends ("The one where rachel quits") and the girl who plays the Brown Bird trying to sell cookies is Anne (Bland) from Arrested Development. I always thought they could have chosen a girl who was a little bit plainer (read: uglier) for the part, but perhaps that's where the humor lies. God, that show is fucking genius.
