The Line finished. Listen closely to when the triplets introduce themselves to hear that Chris Gethard permanently inserted himself into the universe. The New York Times did a feature article about it which contained a picture of the cast, including the mugs you see above.
The DCM also finished. I was lucky to be in shows I loved. I witnessed the Gethard-O’Neill slap battle in Stepfathers, terrible mullets in The Foxworthy Brothers, a surprisingly good improv set from The Twilight Zone show, a fun reunion with Monkeydick, and fun half-reunion with the Fat Guy Stuck in Internet Stars, and my favorite ever 30 second cameo in [...]
Editor Dave Kovenetsky and I stand in to test lighting in the AOL Studio. I think this would make a great cover for the all keyboard prog rock album Dave and I want to make called “Hines and Kovenetsky: Journey to Aurora.”
Tabitha and I saw August: Osage County last night. Here’s a shocking opinion: I think it’s good! It long (3 hours and 10 minutes plus two ten minute intermissions) but you don’t notice it. The characters are instantly interesting all by themselves and also begin f*cking with each other in compelling ways. My one very minor quibble is that I started to be aware that everyone in the family [...]
The Stepfathers are in Cagematch tonight. Come on and watch. We are opposing Derrick, who have approximately fifteen thousand blindly adoring fans coming in to cheer their heroes on. Should be a good show!
YouTube - Link to Hillary Takes Ohio
I know I’m video crazed in this blog lately, but that’s how I’ve been spending my time. For our last video with the Hillary Clinton impersonator, we were pressed for time so I re-did the template I had used for News Anchors, where Ben and Gavin just improvised incorrect headlines. In this one, Hillary states incorrect or obscure [...]
Last night at Stepfathers, it was just Delaney, Gethard and myself. Tremendous fun. However, among the many good scenes was one in which I was a man teaching Chris how to price things at a yard sale. We spoke after and realized that in this scene we had broken every conventional “rule” of good scenes in improv. I was teaching a transaction scene without a relationship dynamic to a not-speaking, barely-reacting character, listing items without a pattern. Chris had one line and it was a question, pimping me into listing more. Delaney entered and tried to make a game out of the irrational prices I was making — which Chris and I ignored. That’s impressive! It really wasn’t that terrible [...]
