Inside Amy Schumer: Compliments.
I have been listening to Best Show Gems, and… yeah, I was wrong about The Best Show. I liked a lot of the things Scharpling and Wurster had done but I could never make it through a whole episode of their show. But, once these guys click with you, they’re fucking unstoppable. It’s a nuance thing, where one episode is kinda funny, but 15 of them are profound, the go-to phrases and weird pacing and improvised mythology. It’s awesome.

NBC passed on “Mulaney Project.”
No sitcom for John Mulaney.
NBC passed on a show starring John Mulaney, Elliot Gould, Martin Short and Nasim Pedram, choosing instead to broadcast (a) a show starring Sean Hayes and (b) a TV version of on an 11 year old Hugh Grant movie (About a Boy)…

Besser and I did [a prank] at Planet Hollywood in New York. You know how they have all the bric-a-brac? Like, they’ll have a glove from Field of Dreams that’ll be under glass and there’ll be a plaque, “Field of Dreams 19-whatever.” They had all this Hollywood memorabilia on the wall, so Besser and I found this glove that had spikes on it. We were eating at a table at Planet Hollywood, and Besser pulled it out and then we pretended that it fell from the ceiling and I pretended it hit my head. The manager came over, and all we kept wanting to know is, “What movie is that from?” [Laughs] He kept apologizing and trying to buy us free dinner. We were like, “Is that Alien? I don’t even know what movie that is. Look at that thing. Is that Predator?
