The Doug Benson Q and A Threadt!

[dougbenson]

Doug,

Do you know Daniel Tosh personally and is there any possibility he makes an appearance on Doug Loves Movies? I know with your tour coming up and Tosh's tour as well, it might be a while. but that would be terrific! After all you're both 'LA' guys.

(if you can't that would be fine too)

i know him and will do my best to get him on.

"not sure why anyone would want to play it alone on the internet"

Clearly you've never had a job where you're required to sit at in your office at a computer all day. It is a no-frills site, but it beats doing corporate taxes.

And it's definitely more enjoyable to listen to you and your friends play, but I like playing along too. If I could play at my work with you and your friends, that'd be ideal.

i have had a job where i was required to sit "at in" my office at a computer all day. i liked playing games where other people were playing too. so that would be a good move for a len maltin game on the internet, but rather than having someone build the site and then ask me to get involved, i'd rather be involved from the ground floor. it is my thing, after all.

(and len's)

Have you been watching this season of Last Comic Standing? Do you have any opinion of the "new format"?

(I also second the Daniel Tosh recommendation for the podcast)

[NoPantsJim]

i scrolled top to bottom on the first page that comes up when you go to the site, and there is mention of me and my podcast nowhere and nowhere. not to be a bitch or anything, but i did invent the game (with my friends brian and sarah) so credit should come immediately, and consistently.

thanks for still being a fan, and for your enthusiasm in general, jim, but i'd prefer if you'd just take it down, so that i can do something with it. if i choose to.

(which i might not)

As you wish.

[scamboogah]

Well, at least he gave Doug full credit for shutting it down.

[jc050604]

So by bringing up the site and asking about it, I've now managed to get it taken down?

Not bad for just sitting "at in" my office at a computer all day.

libel, you can check out my thoughts on LCS on the LCS thread.

and thanks, jim. you're a good man.

I have been tracking this for a while and it seems like it is inevitable that you will have to start doing the doug benson len maltin game tour, in which you just play the len maltin game with everyone in the audience instead of doing standup. I think it is a huge untapped market. I think it could really work since Captain Janks of the Howard Stern show used to get paid quite well to go to bars and play trivial pursuit with bar patrons before he got addicted to drugs.

if people were that into the leonard maltin game, i would be happy to oblige.

[JesusChrist]

What About Mike Birbiglia? Can You get Him on the Show?

[dougbenson]

another possibility.

(life is full of 'em!)

[JesusChrist]

Oh and Good Job In Nashville Last Night...It was a pretty awesome show.

What About Mike Birbiglia? Can You get Him on the Show?

Why did you capitalize Him? Is he Your Father? (who art in heaven?)

[JesusChrist]

Why did you capitalize Him? Is he Your Father? (who art in heaven?)

No, But he is a funny comedian.

[jc050604]

Yes... He is.

Doug - are you still continuing the Len Maltin game Tournament of Championships?

[EffinACotton]

if people were that into the leonard maltin game, i would be happy to oblige.

It was a really good time in OKC. I got to play, which was the shit, but it was also fun to watch other people play. But why stop at a road sho?. I say take that shitty Chris Jericho conveyor belt show off the air and replace it with The Leonard Maltin Game with Doug Benson.

[dougbenson]

Yes... He is.

Doug - are you still continuing the Len Maltin game Tournament of Championships?

yes, i'll be doing another one when matt braunger, scott aukerman and dana gould are all in l.a. and available on the same tuesday. which is difficult, with matt's busy road schedule and dana going off to other countries to adopt babies and all.

(scott is always at ucb on tuesdays!)

[Jared091]

congrats on trending, how does it feel to be almost as popular as ghetto weddings?

[dougbenson]

it feels good.

(very good)
