Charles Pottamous, the Second Fattest Man in the World, was a web pick in this week’s issue of Entertainment Weekly. Charlie Sanders created the character and the piece. I filmed it the night before I left for the conventions and edited it the day after Obama’s speech. And just like Obama’s speech it’s going to change the world.

And check this out! The sketch group Derrick made a movie and I’m in it! In the trailer! I play “Reasonable Principal.” Doesn’t that movie look amazing? It does.

Fat Guy Stuck In Internet! Watch this show, people! It is for-real hilarious. Born on Channel 102 and now re-born on Actual Television. Every Sunday night at 12:15am on the Cartoon Network. I guess that’s Monday morning technically but you know what I mean. I have one line in this series, and here it is (about ten seconds, right before Paul Scheer says “Okay, Gemberling”):

Curtis says the name of my character is “Blueberry Screwball.” See the whole episode, if you’d like.

I really do think their show is amazing, [...]

My brothers and my recreation of us in Superman underoos has made it on to the hallowed pages of neatorama.com, a site I just discovered when Jon Gabrus sent me this link.

Rocco and I are in Orlando. Shooting day 1 of 3 is tomorrow. We’re doing a series of spots for a phone/cable/internet company in Florida. Besides the fun of being flown down here for a commercial is that our director for these spots is Tom Schiller, who directed many of the early SNL shorts, including the famous John Belushi one “Don’t Look Back In Anger” (where Belushi is an old man dancing on the graves of the other cast members). That’s fun.  The spots are vaguely inspired by Mythbusters — except instead of a guy in a beret and a guy with a red goatee it’s me and Rocco, both in similar glasses. And we’re testing phone networks.

I booked a commercial along with monkey-friend Andy Rocco, so early Monday morning we will be flying down to Florida for three days of shooting. Famous, right Brian? This is the second time I’ve been flown somewhere. The first time was in 2000 when I was flown on a shuttle to Boston for a workshop in a Java enterprise solution which I never used. Anyway, I feel like a big shot.

In packing, I see that I am too attached to electronics. In my suitcase I have: a laptop, a still camera, digital camera, ipod and battery charger. Also a pair of pants and a single dress shirt.

Other news: I picked UConn’s basketball team to win the entire March Madness [...]
