The Apiary | 2 Comments in General Interest Friday Dec 28 2007 The Mervin Douglas Show @ The UCBT - 12.20.7

Friday, December 28, 2007 at 7:42AM The Mervin Douglas Show as described by the blurb: "Your favorite talk show comes to the UCBT, just in time for Christmas! With special guest host Horatio Sanz." NOTES--Something you don't see often at the UCB: a cue cards guy. What's odd is that it seemed like the cue cards were more of a hindrance to the flow than a help. The best moments came out of improvisation as the actors settled into their characters. --After a slightly bumpy top half of the show, Miriam Tolan's guest appearance as a neurotic arts and crafts lady with increasingly ridiculous family problems won the crowd back. Our stomach LITERALLY needs to be restapled (from laughing, not from obesity surgery complications) every time we see Miriam perform. --Horatio finished out the show with his brilliant Aaron Neville impression. Decorated with face tatts and a muscle suit, Sanz emulated Neville's manchild warble and warmly cooed the 12 Days of Christmas, substituting turtle doves with items Aaron Neville would want, such as human growth hormone, leather wristbands, and a 5 pound tub of cocoa butter. --We know the show was probably just Horatio's annual Christmas spectacular with a different bow on it, but it smelled like it could also be some kind of prototype vehicle for icon Dennis Haskins (aka Mr. Belding, aka Mervin Douglas) to reclaim his rightful throne. There were graphics and videos and bits made involving Haskins, but he never physically appeared on stage. His absence was explained by saying that Horatio was "filling in" for Mervin Douglas. Throughout the performance, a fictional backstory about The Mervin Douglas Show was presented, including an account about how Mervin was one of the first talk show hosts to begin healing the nation after 9/11... as seen with this video below.

The Apiary | 2 Comments in Show Recap Friday Dec 21 2007 Comic Book Club: 1-Year Anniversary @ The PIT - 12.18.7

Friday, December 21, 2007 at 9:09AM Bill Hader, Seth Meyers, Matt Fraction, Brian Michael Bendis, Ed BrubakerThe Comic Book Club celebrated its 1-year anniversary at The PIT with a SOLD OUT show featuring comic book fans Bill Hader & Seth Meyers and three of the biggest writers at Marvel Comics, Matt Fraction (Iron Fist, Punisher War Journal), Brian Michael Bendis (New Avengers, Ultimate Spiderman), and Ed Brubaker (Uncanny X-Men, Captain America, Criminal).NOTES--The writers were in town for a semi-annual event called the Marvel Creative Summit, a continental congress for every writer and editor at Marvel to brainstorm and map out storylines for the upcoming year. --When asked to reveal some details from the summit the audience guffawed when Bendis sarcastically said, "Alpha Flight is the new X-Men." Seth Meyers sat visibly befuddled through a couple nerdcore wisecracks such as this before saying, "I'm counting how many jokes will only get a laugh from this crowd." --Bill Hader's impression of a dying Tauntaun was perhaps one of those jokes. We found it funny though. --Seth and Bill revealed that when Natalie Portman was a guest on SNL, she stunned the writers' room during a read-through when she mispronounced the word Dagobah. --According to the THE NEW YORK TIMES PROFILE ON THE COMIC BOOK CLUB, "[LePage, Tyler, and Zalben] have parlayed the show into a gig for PulpSecret.com, a Web site devoted, of course, to comics. Their video version of 'The Stack' offers three in-depth reviews of comics and a seven-minute 'speed round' packed with topics. On YouTube, one clip of the show received more than 15,000 views. Mr. Zalben recalled being in line to see 'Beowulf' when he met a man who said, 'Thank you for everything you do.'" --RELATED: More pics HERE.
