Jim Gaffigan on The Food Network
Jim Gaffigan is obsessed with food — mostly food that's bad for you but yummy, like Hot Pockets. Here, he talks about how if you don't have food, The Food Network is a nice alternative. Then when you can't take it anymore, you can get your crack and your burgers.
Dennis Leary on NyQuil
Dennis Leary manically waxes poetic about how awesome NyQuil is at putting you into a coma. You gotta agree with him—"May Cause Drowsiness" is understating the case a bit! His suggestion for the label?
Jerry Seinfeld on Halloween
Jerry Seinfeld muses on Halloween, the one day out of the year when children are encouraged not only to talk to strangers, but to take candy from them.
Standup Comedy: Sheng Wang
I saw this guy perform over the weekend, and he cracked me the eff up. Let Sheng tell you why shopping at Good Will rocks and why "less slanty than" is not a compliment to an Asian-American...
Tron Van Nguyen--Amateur Comedian
This guy is the obvious spawn of Borat, but the audience members don't know what to make of him. Apparently, they think that an unfunny Vietnamese dude with a bad fake accent who claims he came to America on a boat and lost all of his children except for the bad one...must be serious. Ha!
Demetri Martin Standup
Demetri sings and jokes about the eternal mysteries of life--like why pyjamas have pockets.

GiggleSugar Interviews Margaret Cho!
When I think of Margaret Cho, I think of her hilarious standup act in flashes of representative scenes. There's Margaret telling everyone how weird it is to be an Asian American on an airplane with a flight attendant offering you Asian chicken salad. ("That is not the salad of my people!") There's Margaret imitating her mother's cute Korean accent and puzzling over gay men and their, uh, interest in "the ass."
Ricky Gervais — Love Him or Leave Him?
Ricky Gervais is trying his hand at yet another workplace-centered TV comedy! The soon-to-be Golden Globes host and scribe behind The Office is lending his talents to PhoneShop, which follows a guy working at a phone store at the mall. Mundane jobs are Gervais's specialty, so it's bound to be hilarious — but for now, it's only set to air in the UK.
George Carlin: 1937-2008
These days, most comedians swear like sailors and revel in shocking their audiences, but for standup comedy pioneers like George Carlin, who died yesterday of heart failure, swearing and shocking were not gratuitous. He wanted to shake up a hypocritical society and make people think about what "clean" language hides underneath it. (His famous "Seven Words You Can't Say on Television" routine got him arrested and went all the way to the Supreme Court, where they ruled that his language was "indecent" but not "obscene.") George Carlin will always be remembered as a comic genius.
Demetri Martin Explains the World
Whether he's explaining the height-to-drunk-to-funny ratio (shorter and drunker is funnier), the breakdown of who owns a Hummer (hint: douchebags, dildos, and .01 percent of poets), and at what point he will not listen to a cute girl talk about her cat, Demetri really does make it look easy. He's like the male Ellen DeGeneres. He turns the everyday into comedy gold.
