Keith Olbermann Addresses the Guy Who Sat Behind Him at the Movie Theatre
Finally, as promised, a special comment for the guy sitting behind me at the 9:15 showing of “Iron Man” last night. I don’t assume for a moment that you are familiar with Ralph Waldo Emerson, sir, but there may be something for you to learn in his aphorism, “Life is not so short but that…

FSW: Bob’s Knob Shop
I fear I may be alone again this week, folks. Michael’s nuptials are here (if you’ve enjoyed his sketches in the past like I have, you should go on over and wish him and the bride luck) and David’s been up against a wall at work for a long while now. This might be a…

FSW: Man Down Edition
The day got away from me. End of the month is always hectic at work. Add in a little rehearsal, a lot of wedding stuff and you’ve got yourself a Sketch War without the “war”. Richard, The Universal Soldier, comes through as always with a topical sketch about the sleeper cell that is Rachel Ray.…

Sketch War Salute
We don’t have 21 guns or anything fancy like that. Just heaps of respect for a fine sketch comedy actor who has left us. Harvey Korman passed away last night. Probably best known for his stint on the Carol Burnett Show and his role as Hedley Lamarr in Blazing Saddles. I think part of the…

FSW: Rachael Ray, Terrorist!
Tough choice today. Most of the day, the topic below seemed the most obvious target. Then around 4:30 I heard Harvey Korman had died. I thought about trying to write a sketch in honor of his greatness, but I’m not worthy. I wanted to give him a sendoff fit for a king, but I’m just…

Friday Night Sketch War: Round Sixteen
As the three-day weekend rolls to a close, it’s time to announce the winners and losers of this past Friday’s battle royale. In another two-man fight to the death, Coyote drew first blood with his katana… Michael parried with his claymore. What sucked for Coyote, was the Claymore was of the landmine variety. Winner: Michael.…

FSW: Office Edition
Richard’s playing doctor this week.Dave is quiet at the moment. Perhaps his still dreaming about his dream job.Your sketch is probably really funny. But since you won’t let us read it we’ll never know.I really wanted to have a Memorial Day themed sketch today. But that just seemed like too much work. So here’s my…

FSW: On the Couch
(Trevor lies on a couch, while behind him Mary sits in a chair taking notes. She is wearing a suit and glasses. Her hair is in a bun held together with a pencil.) MARYHow are you feeling today, Trevor? TREVORI’m okay. A little sluggish. Didn’t get a good night’s sleep. MARYYes? TREVORRestless. My dreams were…

Friday Night Sketch War: Round Fifteen
If you thought last week’s drunken scuffle was an embarrassment, wait until you see this week’s slap fight. There’s a rumor we might be joined by some fresh blood soon, so this lull in the war might merely be a short-lived ceasefire. Let’s hope. Coyote wants to make an omelet, so he breaks a few…

FSW: Cop Out Edition
So I’ve been a little busy lately. And more than a little unfocused. So the sketch I was working on for today didn’t really come together. But that doesn’t mean I’m going to leave you empty handed. I have this play I’ve been working on forever. A comedy, of course. About a poor fellow who…
