[Nick C.]

Awesome. I particularly enjoyed Sunday Detective Film Theatre.

[erichoffman]

"The Bomb" is up. "Date Rant" will be soon.

"Awesome. I particularly enjoyed Sunday Detective Film Theatre."

Thanks. I'd love to finish the rest of these some day. We shot a second one (Fairchild and Wife, with Paget Brewster), but I believe it's still un-edited and collecting dust in Jon Schnepp's computer.

[erichoffman]

Actually, only the first half of The Bomb is up. Sorry, we'll get the rest up there soon.

[CaptainBreakfast]

Just out of curiousity, is the ending to "The Bomb" supposed to be so abrupt? It ends at 5:11, right?

[erichoffman]

The rest of it should be up tomorrow. Capt. Breakfast is a great name, by the way. That's a show I would watch or a cereal I would eat.

Ah, it's from Sesame Street. The statement stands.

[CaptainBreakfast]

Thank you for the compliment. Also, I am very saddened to find that me and sesame street had a parallel thought. Still, thank you for revealing that to me.

[erichoffman]

"Date Rant" is up (see above). Still waiting on "The Bomb".

[alexmechanik]

Can you talk about how Paget Brewster got involved with the LA comedy scene? I would have never guessed it, but she seems to pop up everywhere doing little bits with cool people. Did she get her start doing stand-up?

[erichoffman]

Jay and Paget were dating at the time of production. As far as I know, she's never done stand-up. Prior to that, I know she had a talk show in San Francisco.

Still waiting on the full version of the Bomb to be uploaded. The nice folks at ucbcomedy.com have assured me it will be soon.

[erichoffman]

The full Bomb is up. See above.
