Would you ever consider accepting amateur covers of the Doug Loves Movies theme song to be played on the podcast (like how CDR radio plays everybody's lousy plugs theme songs), or do you need to have notoriety comparable to Motion City Soundtrack to get played?
hmmm, good question. let me think on it.
(still thinking)
From listening to older episodes of DLM I heard that you played a place called 88 Broadway in Urbana, Illinois. Too bad I wasn't a fan then it would have been fun to come out and see you live but do you plan on returning to the club anytime soon (or the Chicago area for that matter)?
Also I recently watched the documentary I Am Comic that had a good amount of guests from the podcast and a UCB scene, and was half expecting an interview with you to cut in at any moment.
they asked me to be in I AM COMIC but then it never came together for some reason. probably me being on the road all the time.
don't think i'll be back at 88 b-way, but i'm sure a chicago appearance will happen sometime in the next 6 - 14 months.
(vague is the new unclear!)
So the UCB in LA is all ages huh.
Does That mean that let's say a 16 year old could Go to A Comedy Death Ray show and See DLM?
Because I might be Traveling to California very soon and I could not see you Here in Nashville at Zanies...Stupid 18+ rule.
I know you were just in Eugene, Oregon... so I don't expect you to make it back anytime soon, but do you think that eventually you and Graham will make it back up here?
I've been to Louie CK and many other great comedy shows and that by far was the most entertaining of them all. You were on a roll! You made my tummy hurt with laughter!
(True story)
i loved eugene! i'll be back for sure.
(true but not really a story)
Doug - Who are your favorite comedians?
Also, do you think comedy is like other professions where you get better as you get more experience? Or do you think people have a finite amount of funny material in them so they might be funny right away but then they use up their best stuff early in their career and aren't as good later? Do you think you've gotten better with age?
Love the podcast.
Any chance we'll be seeing you be a special co-host on the Tomorrow Show with Ron Lynch?
A person who makes more money than you, is better than you, and therefore beyond criticism. This is called the Worthington Law and it's used to gauge the value of human worth.
not much of a chance, because i'm out of town most saturday nights.
and, jc, my favorite comedians are the ones that get mentioned a lot on this site.
(experience isn't everything, but it's important!)
How about being the guest comic on Cartoon Dump (last Monday of every month)?Originally Posted by dougbenson

Do you have any plans to do non-comedy club tours? Looking to help bring more shows through Richmond, VA, but we're operating outside the Funny Bone world.
I'm going to take that as Gallagher, Mensia and a tie for third between Cook and Carrot Top.
(I saw Super High Me a little while back. Loved it. Good work.)
yes, Mensia.
(thanks!)
i'd love to play richmond. contact tj markwalter at tj@gershla.com to make it happen.
(that goes for any other city/venue as well)
HEY! Doug is on The Kilborn File later today!
Missy Pegerrym chats with Craig while Doug Benson and Nicole Sullivan face off on the Power Panel.
What an unusual picture they used on the promo. Doug's wearing the white and red flowered shirt and there's some sort of puppet or stuffed animal over his shoulder? Maybe I dreamed that.
edit: Yay blue polo shirt from that one picture with black jacket that looks like one I have!
(clothes!)

that stuffed animal is none other than the bear from THE HIGH ROAD with Doug Benson.
(not to be confused with THE HIGH ROAD)
$30 hotel bear!
Doug, can you offer us any more details about The Benson Interruption airing on Comedy Central? One time special, series, Nyquil-induced hallucination?
It's nice to not be alone in your crumbles.
