Re: The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!
iowa was surprisingly awesome. i wanna go back next year.
i'm working on the line-up and will only announce it if ticket sales are slow. and... the CD is meant to be an example of my headliner set that i was doing in comedy clubs at the time of the taping, april 20, 2008, so as such, i wanted to leave in some flaws, and some riffs that might not ever be uttered by me again. as a writer in a publication i can't recall the name of said about my style, "he has a penchant for dicking around." so no, i don't wish i could change anything. matt and ryan are great to work with because my happiness with the product was as important as their own. and my plan is to try to record a new CD every april 20, and i'll announce the next city/location early in '09! (i'm in the denver airport) |

Re: The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!
Dear Doug,
When is the new I Love Movies episode, the one your blog said featured both Odenkirk and Hardwick, going up? Or is it up already and I missed it? Did the feed change or something? If so, where can I find it? Sincerely, Stephan P.S. Sorry for being so demanding.

Re: The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!
if you can't find it, it's probably not up yet. i don't control the posting of the show, just the hosting of the show. when matt has time i'm sure he'll make it happen.

Re: The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!
Doug, isn't it tiring travelling around so much? Or do you love it? What's the best hotel? I like Holiday Inn Express.

Re: The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!
traveling all the time is a drag but i'm getting pretty good at it. there isn't enough consistency with hotel chains for me to name a favorite. embassy suites are cool, and i always enjoy a W hotel when i get to stay in one.
(places that charge for wireless internet can suck it) |

Re: The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!
How do you tape BWE bits when you're all over the place?

Re: The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!
i usually shoot on wednesday in l.a. and then head out of town (like kansas city this week - had a great time, my apologies to people who live in independence, mo) or if i'm on the east coast i'll slip in and do my parts in nyc.
(thanks for the question, honey bunny!) |

Re: The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!
Hey Doug,
Some friends of mine in NYC (Team Submarine) told me you did the Doug Benson Interruption out there. Would you ever do that somewhere else again, or was that a one-time-dealio? I love the parts that got posted on AST Radio back in the day.

Who's opening your Raleigh shows? I'm gonna try to get out to one of those. A four hour drive isn't so bad. I'm often tempted to bitch about how good comics almost never come to Charlotte but frankly it's probably the right decision |

Re: The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!
im pretty sure that the reason they dont get recorded anymore was that matt and doug didnt want to ask comedians if they could record new bits that they were working on. the whole point of TBI is to get doug to react to new bits from his friends, or thats at least what i gather.

Re: The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!
Also, when they said they were going to regularly record the Interruption and podcast it, this was before NNF.
When NNF came along, I sort of assumed AST Radio was going on indefinite hiatus. Matt's only got so much time in one day.

Your job's awesome.
Getting up on stage in front of people makes me want to throw up.

Re: The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!
Ah, okay. I remember hearing it on AST Radio in mid-2006.

Re: The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!
i think you guys answered all the questions above for me. there are several reasons we don't do TBI podcasts, all of which are mentioned above. the bottom line for me is that it's a great live experience, and the acts should be able to fuck around without their (untested) material being broadcast on the internet.
so mainly TBI will remain a live show at the ucb theater in l.a. (now on the second monday of each month at 11:00pm) with an occasional performance elsewhere (like at ucb-ny on august 7 and possibly at another sketchfest in s.f.). and graham elwood will be joining me for the shows at goodnights in raliegh. (don't sit in the palm strike zone!) |

Re: The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!
Doug, now that the show is moved to Mondays, does this mean there's a better chance of you being in town to host the show?
