Q:Sorry, I just saw the rest of your previous post. For some reason, it was cut off halfway through before. And yes, that's the theme I was trying to hit, about how Hollywood and the media have a very narrow view. For what it's worth, I'm a big fan and again, I'm flattered to have you even read my little blog, let alone be able to chat here!

It was great, thanks for talking about it all! Thanks for the good words and keep it up!

Q:Your insights on Marc are great! The previous master of opening up during an interview to encourage your subjects to do the same was Truman Capote. And you're very funny, look great and project a very warm personality on stage. Coming to DC W/Bammer?

artlevine

I really wish I was, but am not. I think I’m already working that week. Is there tape of capote interviewing people?

Q:Please know I meant that in the best possible way! I meant to say it in the sense that (from my perspective at least) you put comedy first, and that you don't give a shit about the hype around female comedians, you just focus on being honest and funny. I really intended for it to be a positive comment--I'm sincerely sorry if it didn't come off that way!

tv-kitchen

Totally cool. I was merely trying to point out that, I wish I didn’t care and, I’m working on not caring, but it’s an ongoing project. Like the rest of my life. Heh. No worries. I knew what YOU meant, I just wanted to let it be known that it’s not a slam dunk to work on not caring. All good. See you again, if laughing skull ever books me back as a headliner, or Maria wants to come again! Take care, jk

Q:Hey! Thanks so much for the reblog! I couldn't figure out how to post a comment, but wanted to say I completely agree with your point about Maron being so honest in his podcast, and inspiring his guests to do that same. And I didn't mean to downplay Maron's role in WTF's success. There are obviously tons of podcasters who interview the same guests, but few do it with the same clarity and depth that Maron does.

tv-kitchen

Hell. I can’t figure out tumblr comments at all! I’m replying to this :) …sure! I figured you, like me, are a fan, and I was just adding to it all.

Heh. And, as far as me not giving a shit…I do, but I’ve realized there’s nothing I can, actually, do about my age and looks. Oh I could be skinnier, but aging is inevitable and…I have looked like I look, give or take 30lbs, since I’ve was 16. I have tried to explain that you could clean me up, Hollywood, and make this into a lawyer or judge…but, so far, no takers. Showbiz people’s SEEM to have a blinder with (not just me I know) people (most often women, but men too) they dont know what to DO with. Its like theyre thinking to themselves„ “well, I don’t want to fuck her, but people think she’s talented” …I don’t know, offhand, how to turn that into money. So…I continue doing what I do and ignore them as they do me. We, Occassionally, Notice one another. ;)

Comedy Round-Up: Maria Bamford, Jackie Kashian, Plus ‘Inside Amy Schumer,’ ‘Zach Stone’ and ‘Maron’

My comment before interesting reblog: I’d say maron’s podcast appeal came before the big names. He, genuinely, opens a vein and invites you (whichever guest) to open one too. He gets people to be very honest because of how honest/ revealing he is. It’s a gift. A terrible, terrible gift ;)

Alex Edelman: David Foster Wallace - The Dork Forest

This week’s guest SO enjoys the works of DFW that he, postshow, answered a BOATLOAD of questions from a Ranger. Here are those answers. Listen to the show on www.dorkforest.com or itunes after/during or before reading this.

Guys, this is my first Tumblr post where I’m actually speaking directly to you, the people. Hello, people.

I’m doing that because I’m answering some questions about David Foster Wallace.

Someone named James Cardis, a very nice guy, heard from Jackie Kashian’s twitter feed that I was…

comediandaveanthony:

This Maron in space thing is great.  Cable channels should do more promos like this.  I’d include network channels but they’d turn this into Maron in Peace and it would just be him sitting, calmly enjoying tea in a Buddhist monk like state because networks go for the worst, most obvious version.  

Now I’m rambling about networks…just watch it.

and has Adomian in it as well!
1.5 million of my grandparent’s generation were systematically rounded up, shot, marched and variously killed. My grandmother was marched out of Turkey, after watching neighbors and siblings die, taken so quickly from her village that, “we had to leave bread still in the oven.” My grandparents were from two small villages in Turkey, dispossessed of their lands, attacked, abused and starved. If that’s not genocide…dictionaries need to be rewritten. The world does not know of this, countries do not acknowlegde it. It was almost 100 years ago, but no healing can happen without acknowledgment. Jackie Kashian And, now, other people’s statements: jamesadomian: Today marks the beginning of the Armenian Genocide, when on April 24, 1915, the Turks rounded up and murdered the Armenian intellectuals in Istanbul. Over the next eight years, over 1.5 million Armenians - more than half of all Armenians - died at the hands of the Ottoman Empire and their Turkish successors. The survivors were subjected to unspeakable atrocities in an attempt to erase the Armenian people completely. My family is directly descended from murdered Armenians and lucky survivors from the city of Van. As we approach the 100th anniversary of the genocide, two years from now, we demand that the world community, including the United States and especially Turkey, recognize these historic atrocities and take immediate steps toward peace, understanding, restitution and respect. abcd-epik: Infographic Poster - The Armenian Genocide by Kiara.W for those who can’t seered circles = massacres arrows = death marches dark orange = current armeniaorange = historic armenia [now turkish territory]58% of total population dead1,500,00 men,women & childrenThe appalling incidents of the genocide against the armenian population by  the Ottoman government from 1915-1923 result in the death of the entire population of historic armenia at the eastern extremity of Anatolia.Yet this genocide has been misinterpreted as a transfer of Armenian people or deportations.

Yet this genocide has been misinterpreted as a transfer of Armenian people or deportations. However due to the governments control of press and telegraphs the Armenian massacre occurred outside the eyes of the international press

90% of land and property lost
nearly all of historic Armenia
