Just take a look at its new smiley face.; [HOME EDITION] Paul Brownfield. Los Angeles Times. Los Angeles, Calif.: Sep 3, 2006. pg. E.1 Abstract (Summary) "Tourgasm" was a conspicuously slight and infomercial-like ad to boost [Cook]'s rabid popularity among college-age fans; the rest was filler, Cook and his three comedian underlings in various states of homoerotic, roughhousing repose. It seemed more than a little symbolic, in fact, that Cook was blowing up last year while Mitch Hedberg, a comedian whose following mirrored Cook's (Internet fan base, transcendent rock-star aura), died of a drug overdose in a New Jersey motel. Onstage, Hedberg cut an odd Kurt Cobain-like figure -- tall, skinny, beatnik clothes, hair over his eyes. He talked in idiosyncratic, absurdist mumbles ("I tried to walk into a Target, but I missed"; "I don't own a microwave, but I do have a clock that occasionally cooks [things]") and was afraid to lock eyes with the audience. He feared the very thing at which Cook excels -- tearing down the wall between the audience and himselfbut he loved that which Cook doesn't: the economy, the importance, of words.

“TERRIFICALLY ENGAGING.” – Variety
“TERRIFICALLY ENGAGING.” – Variety “BOBCAT GOLDTHWAIT’S MASTERPIECE. A TRULY BEAUTIFUL HUMAN DOCUMENT.” – Drew McWeeny, Hitfix 2015 CALL ME LUCKY a film by Bobcat Goldthwait CALL ME LUCKY is an inspiring, triumphant and wickedly funny documentary with a compelling and controversial hero at its heart. Barry Crimmins, best known as a comedian and political satirist, bravely tells his incredible story of transformation with intimate interviews from comedians such as David Cross, Margaret Cho and Patton Oswalt, activists such as Billy Bragg and Cindy Sheehan and directed in inimitable style by Bobcat Goldthwait (World’s Greatest Dad/God Bless America/Willow Creek). As a young and hungry comic in the early 80’s Barry Crimmins founded his own comedy club in Boston, in a Chinese restaurant called the Ding Ho. Here he fostered the careers of new talent who we now know as Steven Wright, Paula Poundstone, Denis Leary, Lenny Clarke, Kevin Meaney, Bobcat Goldthwait, Tom Kenny and many others. These comics were grateful for Barry’s fair pay and passionate support and respected him as a whip-smart comic himself but, as becomes clear in their interviews, they also knew he was tortured by his past. As archive footage of Barry shows, he was thickly mustachioed, thick set and thinly disguising an undercurrent of rage beneath his beer swilling onstage act. It seemed Barry was the fierce defender of the little guy but also an angry force when confronted. As one of the top new comedians in the country he appeared on The HBO Young Comedians Special, The Smothers Brothers Comedy Hour, Evening at the Improv and many other television shows in the 80’s.

COMEDY CENTRAL(R) Partners with the USO for the New Military Outreach Program 'PVT Jokes' to Deliver Comedy Kits to American Troops
COMEDY CENTRAL(R) Partners With the USO for the New Military Outreach Program 'PVT Jokes' to Deliver Comedy Kits to American Troops NEW YORK, Sept. 1 -- There's not a lot that's funny about being stationed away from loved ones, but COMEDY CENTRAL hopes to bring some laughter to the troops with the launch of "PVT Jokes," a new military outreach partnership with the USO that delivers comedy kits to forward operating bases (FOBs) as well as U.S. military hospitals at home and overseas. The partnership was announced today by the USO (United Service Organizations, Inc.) and COMEDY CENTRAL. With the goal of reaching more than 200 FOBs and U.S. military hospitals at launch, "PVT Jokes" began distributing kits this week that include CD and DVD donations from COMEDY CENTRAL Records and COMEDY CENTRAL Home Entertainment. Each kit will feature COMEDY CENTRAL DVD titles, including the "COMEDY CENTRAL Roasts" of Flavor Flav, Pamela Anderson and William Shatner, "COMEDY CENTRAL Presents Southern Gents of Comedy" and "Best of COMEDY CENTRAL Presents" stand-up; as well as CDs from comedians including George Lopez, Dane Cook, D.L. Hughley, Norm Macdonald and Harland Williams. More information can be found at http://www.comedycentral.com/pvtjokes/index.jhtml. "Knowing that troops often seek comedy to help cope with the tremendous hardships of war, we knew that COMEDY CENTRAL was in a unique position to make a contribution to the lives of these tremendous individuals," said Kelleigh Dulany, vice president, corporate responsibility, COMEDY CENTRAL. "Through our partnership with the USO, we hope that 'PVT Jokes' can bring a brief respite from the reality of their situation and some levity, however small, and laughs to the soldiers stationed so far away from their friends and families." "This partnership with COMEDY CENTRAL presents a tremendous opportunity to lift the sprits of American's troops who need it the most," said Sloan Gibson, USO president and CEO.
