<p>Monday, November 29, 2010 at 10:18AM</p>
<p>Nominations opened up late last week for the 7th Annual ECNY Awards! These are technically the 2010 ECNY awards but since the show doesn't take place until March 14th, the awards have been rebranded as an annual thing.</p>
<p>> The ECNY Awards, New York’s original comedy awards, are now open for nominations at ECNYAwards.com. Nominations will be accepted until Midnight on Friday, December 17th, 2010. Nominees will be announced in February, 2011 and winners will be announced at the 7th Annual ECNY Awards ceremony, held March 14, 2011, at 8:30PM; at 92Y Tribeca, 200 Hudson Street. The ceremony will be hosted for the fourth year in a row by Jon Friedman (Late Night With Jimmy Fallon).</p>
<p>"We’re proud to once again celebrate excellence in the comedic performing arts in New York City," said ECNY producer Carol Hartsell. "...And we finally figured out what the acronym stands for, so stop bothering us.”</p>
<p>The acronym now stands for "Excellence in Comedy, New York City." So stop bothering us.</p>
<p>Some categories have been revised slightly--for example, "Best Video" is now "Best Video (Short or Series)." Also, three THRILLING AND NEW categories have been added: "Best Storyteller," "Best Comedy Event," and this year's wildcard, "Best New Category."</p>
<p>* Nominate your favorite performers and artists for The 7th Annual ECNY Awards</p>

<p>Tuesday, November 23, 2010 at 4:10PM Rich Juzwiak wrote today about the time someone from Team Leno emailed him. He said:</p>
<p>> Sean O'Rourke, a research coordinator for The Tonight Show with Jay Leno reached out to me for permission to show my Taylor Swift Is Surprised video during an upcoming sit-down interview with the pop star. "Duh! Squee! Duuuuuh!" I said (not really, but I did go, "HA!" in a quiet gym locker room when I initially read it off my Blackberry). Sean assured me I and/or my blog would get credit. Duh squared, that wasn't even a concern. How silly I become when I'm excited! In my response, I stressed how important it was for my friend Kate Spencer (who came up with the idea for the video in the first place) to be credited, too. Kate and me/fourfour and The Fab Life/both attributions -- however they wanted to do it, I asked that they somehow mention us both. Sean warned me that he couldn't promise any specific mention from Jay, but at the very least, our names would appear in the show's credits -- at least our names would be down somewhere. Great!</p>
<p>You're probably thinking, "Why is this post called Jay Leno Ripped Me Off!? I've only read one paragraph, but it sounds to me like everything will turn out good for everybody." In a shocking twist, it doesn't! Mean Jay Leno tricked us once again!</p>

<p>Friday, November 19, 2010 at 7:27PM  I can't stand roundtable discussions. Of any kind. But here is the effervescently brilliant Newsmasters, credited to Meetinghouse Productions, which also produces "The Smoking Gun Presents" among other notable projects. According to the YouTube timestamps, these clips have been around since May, yet the hit counts are pretty low. Maybe that's because at first glance, these White-Dudes-in-Suits-style pundits look boring as Hell. But give em a minute and you'll spot real-life comedy-writer gods at work: Jim Downey (Late Night with David Letterman, SNL), Ted Jessup (ABC News, Comedy Central, The Al Franken Show), Steve Higgins (SNL, The Jon Stewart Show), Billy Kimball (The Simpsons, The Late Late Show with Craig Kilborn, Not Necessarily the News), Chelsea Peretti (Variety SHAC, The Smoking Gun), as well as Norm Ornstein of the American Enterprise Institute. How these things suddenly appear online, and why they refer to each other with fake names, is beyond me. But funny is funny. And the presumably improvised banter is priceless. --K.H.</p>

<p>Dear People at People:</p>
<p>As a feral, sexually expressive young woman, I am dismayed by this year's pick for Sexiest Man Alive: Ryan Reynolds.</p>
<p>I realize your choice was made based upon box office popularity, public relations deals and Mr. Reynolds' willingness to give you tidbits about his personal life with Scarlett Johansson, all so he can sell us as the Green Lantern in eight months. However, sexiness is something that should be determined by one's loins. Here's a list of men that get me going, and who I think should be put into consideration for next year.</p>
