At the Laugh Detroit Festival on TV

Laugh Detroit Kicks Off March 27: MyFoxDETROIT.com

We appeared on Detroit television this morning. On the local Fox affiliate. Fox 2. Our mission: Promote the upcoming Garden Fresh Detroit Laughs Comedy Festival. We did so, we hope. We had a swell time on the Big Brown Couch and we noticed that the cameras are all controlled by robots! (It’s a sad commentary on our careers that we’ve only now noticed a ten-year trend in big-market TV production. Apparently, no one is spooked by cameras skittering about, without human guidance.)

We remembered the requisite information and we slept for most of our downtime between the TV appearance and the show.

We were exiting the Bob Evans restaurant when we heard one patron, “Oh… They were on TV this morning!”

David Alan Grier kicked ass. We were too stupid or too polite or too jaded to snap a photo with him. It is, after all, his triumphant return to his hometown. The last we saw DAG he was communing with an elderly lady wearing a fur (real fur!) coat. The last thing we want to do is in insinuate ourselves between a man an his elderly relative/acquaintance wearing a real fur coat! We don’t do that TMZ thing. Especially when it comes to old folks.

That's Robert Hines on the left and James P. Connoly on the right. They're standing in front of the Murphy bed that is part of the hospitality suite.

Many of the comics from the upcoming three days of showcases are filtering into the metro area to appear on the shows. We’ll be headlining/hosting Tuesday night. There will be 30 comics over three nights showcasing. We will post pics. Stay tuned.
