About me:
New York-based writer and comedian. I've been at it since August of 2001. The summer after I got back from college, I tried my hand at an amateur contest and have been hooked ever since. I think all comedians remember their very first joke...mine went like this:

My score on The 3 Variable Funny Test:
the Provacateur
((71% dark, 30% spontaneous, 42% vulgar))
your humor style:VULGAR | COMPLEX | DARK
You'll crack on anything, and you're often witty, even caustic, about it.Therefore, your sense of humor is polarizing.

If they don't, they think you're an ass. Whatever, right? While some might question your judgement, your comic intellect is unquestionably respected.

Tucker Carlson is of course the former co-host of the CNN program "Crossfire," which had Stewart as a guest back in 2004. During his segment, Stewart had chastised Tucker for his own contribution to political discourse in this country, and also called him, to paraphrase: "a dick in a bowtie." And the award for Swiftest Comeback goes to...

I Love My Nintendo Wii
By: Greg Manuel
I got a Nintendo Wii for Christmas last year, and have been playing it nonstop. I don't eat, I can't focus, and my right elbow is perpetually sore. It's like I'm thirteen all over again.
