MacGruber at Varsity Theatre

A week before MacGruber (MACGRUBER!) was scheduled to be released, NBC booked a screening and Q&A with Director Jorma Taccone, Will Forte, Ryan Phillippe and John Solomon (at the Varsity Theatre in partnership with CUAB). NBC contacted DSI Comedy Theater for me to moderate the Q&A and host the screening. It was a huge honor and one that I was uniquely prepared for — I had just been at the MacGruber (MACGRUBER!) premiere at South by Southwest a month earlier (and posted The Lonely Island Story).

I keep hustling and My #Hustle keeps working.

And yeah, Will Forte wore a DSI shirt for the entire Q&A and posed with entire DSI crew.

Best Chicken Sandwich EVER

seth-meyers-KFC

KFC reinvents the chicken sandwich with THE Meatiest Chicken Sandwich Ever.

Chicken lovers get two 100 percent all white meat chicken filets topped with cheese, bacon and the Colonel’s Sauce. Sounds great right? Not caveman diet appropriate, BOO! But whatever, chicken sounds better than buns. And they have a grilled option, YAY! Only problem, I cannot enjoy one because my local neighborhood KFC closed a couple weeks ago (thanks to PETA). Maybe Colonel Sanders should have launched the Double Down earlier. Or maybe not.  Maybe I’m okay without the Best Sandwich EVER.

Dear Chick-fil-A,

I’m sorry. Let’s hang out again soon.

Always, Zach

Jenny drops the F-Bomb

I was busy over the weekend and didn’t catch SNL, but I get to my comedy feed and OH MY GOD! I was incredibly happy to hear about the momentary slip of an F-Bomb on Saturday Night. Jenny Slate drops the F-Bomb in a sketch that had her replacing the word with Frickin’ for a couple minutes so NO SURPRISE that she slipped. BUT C’MON, What does the uproar mean for comedy?

Remember when you weren’t allowed to show a FULL FRONTAL PENIS in a Summer Blockbuster. Now you can. For a LONG time. I was floored at Bruno. I was curious after Forgetting Sarah Marshall. When did it start? Was I too busy to notice? ANYWAY, the F-Bomb was delicious. May the road rise to meet us, at the peak where once-taboo words are now so common place that we have Hipsters yelling curses like Beezwax to be ironic. Anyway, what’s an F-Bomb? It doesn’t destroy countries. Or does it?

Nikolai and the F-Bomb

My character NIKOLAI lives in the dairy section of your Harris Teeter because his home was DESTROYED by an F BOMB attack. Nikolai was also so hungry as a young boy that he sold his last name for a loaf of bread. Who knew that bread only lasts for a day, but a last name can last a lifetime.

FUCK.

Awesome.
