Prayer of the Rollerboys

Cerebral, and maybe not coincidentally Feldman-free, Corey Haim flick.

The repeated “Razzle Dazzle” line on the last episode of Lost is a Ron and Fez show reference/shout-out — a new writer on Lost is an avid listener / message board poster.

Razzle Dazzle is a catchy phrase at the beginning of a production piece that intros a “Board Gossip” bit on Ron and Fez, and it’s also been co-opted into the name of a strictly music “variety” show.

Compton College’s mascot name is the Tartars, so the mascot name for Compton High School became the Tartar Babies. This was later shortened…

Jeremy Piven’s “Entourage” Doesn’t Tip Well At Nobu

GAYME Show puts gay pride knowledge to test

Questions ranged from serious and thought provoking to humorous in the GAYME Show, a Jeopardy game show for Gay Pride Week.

How aptly named!

Student reaction to the Gayme Show was mostly positive.

Mostly positive goes without saying…

[Charlie Murphy] Comedy show rocks Eisenhower

Comedian Charlie Murphy took the stage to a partial standing ovation Saturday, when he was introduced as a co-writer of the — and this is a direct quote — the “smash hit, Norbit.”

At this point, I wasn’t sure what I was in for. Would we see a legit comedian, or simply someone who had hitched his wagon to the right stars?

In the beginning, it seemed like it would be the latter, as Murphy got his biggest laughs early on talking about his brother and quoting Chappelle’s Show. Even though neither Dave Chappelle nor Eddie Murphy was present, you could almost see their coattails on stage with Charlie Murphy.

Eventually, though, Murphy settled down and pleased a full Eisenhower Auditorium with some original material, centering on the male ego.

Ugh, choke on a bag of cocks collegian writer:

Once he was finished placating the fans with a few Chappelle’s Show one-liners, his material was surprisingly funny and original. I think the funniest part of his entire set was the fact that he used “boning” as a euphemism for a night of “all-star” sex.
