Funny how Patton Oswalt is playing Caroline's the same day, and Louis CK is playing New Jersey two days later.
God I hope your funny isn't just a coincidence.Originally Posted by priceyeah
I'm going! Who's on the bill (besides Doug)?

My guess is Doug will not be announcing this because that show generally sells out no matter who is on the bill and people cancel on him regularly. Doug probably doesn't want egg on his face.
Well I am excited and I hope to see you there Eric!

I'll be there with bells on!
(don't worry doug, i won't do that, that would be distracting)
This is happening and I've heard nothing about the guests. The anticipation is killing me.
I can't believe this dumb show sells out on reputation only.
(kidding. it ain't dumb)
Hey guys, I've got a reservation I'm not gonna use. PM me if you want it.
I had so much fun at the Galifianakis Interruption.
wha?! More details please!
Galifianakis did a set and didn't leave the stage, when the next comic (Jeselnik) came on. He just sat in the audience with a mic and basically did what Doug does.
The line up was:
Pete Holmes
Rob Cantrell
Zach Galifianakis
Anthony Jeselnik
Wayne Federman
Uneven, enjoyable show. I was the guy sitting to Benson's left, I murmured a few lines that Benson then did something with. I was glad Benson mixed things up in the second half by keeping everyone on stage, it was a good move. I'm also glad it was short (school night).
I might be wrong, but I've never seen Zach so loose or in such a good mood. Maybe I am exaggerating the difference. It was wonderful to see two guys, Jeselnik and Zach, who can improv a fully original, withering put-down as well as anyone, up there pushing and pulling with Benson.
That was a fun show.
According to Doug's Twitter the next Interruption in NYC is going to be on 3/18 at 9:30
i had to miss this because of work. so upset. how was rob cantrell? did he look like he wanted his mommy after his set like at the last interruption? i just wanted to give him a hug last time.
if you thought that sports joke was hilarious, check out the sports jokes at http://ghostwrittenbywilbon.tumblr.com and http://www.twitter.com/ghostbon!
Cantrell killed last night. He had a tough job following Pete Holmes, but the audience was with him the whole time.
"hey joaquin phoenix... zach galifianakis called. he wants his zach galifianakis back."
