"the acerbic Mr. Rock"

Chris Rock is hosting the Oscars! And my favorite comic of all, Wanda Sykes, is one of the writers!

Chris Rock Hosting The Oscars!

That's incredible. What do you make of that? He's a renegade and they're known for their safety rules. I mean they played the music on Martin Landau when he got his first Oscar. I'll be interested to see how Rock handles it, whether he sells out to the establishment.

clancy, have you seen maria b

clancy, have you seen maria bamford's stand-up act yet?

Oscars

I saw Wanda Sykes a few times on Comedy Central and I like her. I might actually watch the Oscars this year.

Maria Bamford

Hey, Josh, no I haven't. But you and I have such similar tastes that I'll look into it based on your recommendation. I Googled her, and it looks like she's on Premium Blend, but I don't have cable. I hope she releases a DVD soon.

i don't know if she's at that

i don't know if she's at that level of commercial success yet, but it would certainly be nice.

i thought of her because i too like wanda sykes and usually think of her as a woman comedian, with the emphasis on her gender, even though a lot of her act isn't overtly pointed with regard to it. but bamford certainly is a feminist-friendly comic. you absolutely have to hear her voices - she does these scathing, uncanny impressions of widely recognizable female types. suspect types, needless to say.

if i remember right she grew up in minnesota!
