If a magical fairy came down from heaven and asked me to design my favorite TV content, I would say “A documentary about comedy hosted by Paul Rudd.” So I’m 2/3 totally excited about tonight’s premiere of Make ‘Em Laugh: The Funny Business Of America, a 6-part PBS series hosted by Billy Crystal, exploring the history of comedy and probably explaining some jokes, which is fine (who doesn’t love when jokes are explained?) They’d better mention The Aristocrats at some point. In addition to the TV documentary, PBS made a special half-hour online episode hosted by Amy Sedaris and starring our own Gabe Delahaye and too many of Videogum’s favorite comedians and funny writers to mention. It’s called “Teh Internets,” and it’s after teh jump.
I just had a little fantasy about Amy Sedaris saying “We need to burn the internet to the ground” and the other person saying “Haha, where did you get that gem of a sentiment?” and Amy saying “From this funny young man, Gabe, who was in the PBS video with me.” And also the other person is David Letterman, and it happens on his show, and I’m a dork. (The special learning about comedy starts tonight on PBS.)

well, Gabe is adorable
I’m just making this up, but this is the best video videogum ever posted.
Button your shirt, Ze Frank.
Amy’s laugh makes my soul happy.
Also Mike Albo shows up! As well as Max Silvestri! Nice.
Amy Sedaris: National Treasure. That was pretty good, I knew who most of those people were.
Needed more Gabe.
Other than that, yay/boo internet!
I love how Gabe just shits on everything. He has a real idiocracy type view for the future of the internet. I also like Michael Showalters new Alec Baldwin look.

Uh-oh! I think I am the only person who doesn’t think Amy Sedaris is very funny.
Was that Slut Machine? I hate that bitch..she shouldn’t be allowed anywhere near funny.
