  1. But then a funny thing happened

    I was on my way to a stand-up comedy gig in some Godforsaken place about three hours out of Los Angeles, and I asked the headliner, who was driving and rolling a joint simultaneously, if he knew anybody who might be able to tolerate me. He'd been married for more than 25 years, had a couple of great kids and his wife hadn't yet come to her senses. What could it hurt?

  6. Comedian Marc Maron takes a shot on TV

    Marc Maron slips into a chair and plunks a tattered, spiral-bound notebook onto the table. The cover, folded back, reveals dense, tight scribbling on ruled paper. Pen in hand, Maron hunches over the notes, looks up for a second to lock eyes by way of greeting, then drops his head back down.

  7. Review: Louis C.K. has some 'Oh My God' moments

    It is heartening in a way that perhaps the biggest comic in America &mdash; in a sense of cultural import if not necessarily in income, though he is obviously doing well there too &mdash; is a doughy, bald man of 45. It's heartening both from the aspect of one's own advancing age and as notice that kids these days are not entirely consumed with things made in their own image.
