Jocks vs. Nerds
I enjoyed John Hodgman's address at the Radio & TV dinner, and you might too!

He's funnier than I expected

sure was. I like how he couldn't mention Obama's Blackberry because of contractural obligations.Aabidano wrote:He's funnier than I expected

Re: Jocks vs. Nerds
That was brilliant.
Obama's speech was pretty funny as well. Not as good as Hodgeman's, but some very good laughs and some ballsy jokes that we're directed at the audience, some of which the audience was not too happy with. I don't think they expected so much dark humor and flamage from our president.
I found it incredibly refreshing. Far from perfect, but he's not a stand-up comic.
Here's the whole Obama speech: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KxNJg7d7 ... re=related
P.S.
Here's the full John Hodgeman speech from C-Span. It's one complete clip and they show more of Obama's reactions to Hodgeman's jokes.

I loved his brief three part question.

Re: Jocks vs. Nerds
Is there a transcript of this? I can't watch youtube at work and tend to forget to check here after I go home.
Re: Jocks vs. Nerds
I didn't find it all that funny and a little more on the nervous humor side because some parts weren't that great.
The idea behind it was good though. Maybe if they had a better speaker than the PC guy.

Re: Jocks vs. Nerds
Denis Leary would have made that speech funny.
Re: Jocks vs. Nerds
Yes, because he would have stolen half of it from Bill Hicks.

Re: Jocks vs. Nerds
He's done a lot more than Mac commercials. He's been one of the best correspondents on The Daily Show for years and has had many other great roles and cameos(hell, he played a doctor in season 4 of Battlestar Galactica!!). He's a brilliant satirist and was a perfect choice for the Radio and TV correspondents' dinner.
Re: Jocks vs. Nerds
No knowing his background beyond PC guy and the BSG Doctor role, I didn't feel it was that great of a roast. The material was good, except for not slamming Obama on being a smoker.

its a vast left wing comic conspiracy
