1. Here's a list of the 50 greatest comedy sketches of all time. I of course love that there are a handful of State sketches, (Porcupine Racetrack anyone?!) but the list feels a little heavy on early SNL nostalgia near the top of the list. I'm sure they were classics at the time, but they seem a bit dated now. I'm not sure many skits hold up over time, or over extended viewings and perhaps that's my problem with Land Shark, Consumer Probe, Coneheads, etc., being ranked so high.

3. Pudding aficionado, Bill Cosby, is scheduled to release a hip-hop cd in May. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that Steven Keaton, and Dr. Jason Seaver release competing cd's so that we can have an 80's Dad rap war. Things are a little stale since Biggie and Tupac passed.
Word.
4. Artie Lang quits the Stern show? After getting into an on-air brawl with an assistant, Artie may have quit. Though not a huge Stern guy, I did listen to him from time to time when he was on local radio about 7 years ago. I had a interest in listening to Artie since he had recently starred in one of my favorite movies, 'Dirty Work'. (severely underrated Norm MacDonald "masterpiece") Artie was a guest on Adam Carolla's radio show last week and seemed agitated and tired, and not all that funny. (unless you're into racist, homophobic humor) He has a documented history of dealing with drugs, so hopefully we're not looking at another Farley situation here. Unfortunately the show is on vacation this week, so no one knows for sure if he truly has quit the show or not.
