When Time Out Chicago picked me for “Joke of the Week”, I thought they meant me, not my material…
This changes everything!

Instead of going to bed right when I got in last night (at 4:30 am), I decided to walk five blocks to Lake Michigan to watch the sun rise. It was the first time I saw the sun rise in Chicago and also the first time I saw one on a beach.
Growing up in California, [...]

I found NEW Women’s Extenze among other discontinued products in the “Last Chance” display at a grocery store. I can’t figure out where the makers went wrong with this one.
What body part does this product actually extend?

Yesterday, I went to the Chicago Museum of Science & Industry with much excitement. I was hoping to find a scientist or industrialist who might tell me when we’d have the technology to turn myself into a robot. But apparently, scientists and industrialists get Saturdays off because they were nowhere to be found.
What I did [...]

I caught the beginning of The Days of Our Lives today and wanted to share this line of dialogue. I’m sure we can all relate. Who hasn’t had this conversation?
Attractive Guy: I just realized my father has not been married to anyone who hasn’t at least tried to kill someone.
Attractive Girl: Huh… Um, you think [...]

Today, I went to get a roll of quarters from the bank so that I could do some much-needed laundry.
When I went up to the teller, I handed her a 20-dollar bill and asked, “Hey, can I just get a roll of quarters.”
“Oh, we’re all out of quarters,” she replied.
Before I was even able to [...]

When I was a kid, my brother and I used to swim at our grandparents’ house all the time. When you’re a kid playing with your sibling, everything becomes a competition — or at least that’s how it was with Nick and me. We would having swimming races all the time. I was three years [...]

As a writer/creator, something from my life inspires nearly all of my creations from standup jokes to scripts.
My experience with The Girls Next Door (TV show about Hugh Hefner’s girlfriends) led me to conclude that Hef is a genius. He took what men want (naked women) and made a magazine about it. So I started [...]

It’s time for all the creeps to come out at the “All Female Ladies Show” this coming Monday night (1/25) at Zanies Chicago.
I say “creeps” because when you see that a show features “Wacky Women”, “Girls Who Make You Giggle” or the redundant “All Female Ladies Show”, it’s safe to say it’s only appealing to the [...]

Back in 2004, I worked on the MTV show, The Newlyweds.
For those of you that don’t remember, The Newlyweds was a reality series that followed the newly married couple Jessica Simpson and Nick Lachey (who later divorced.)
My job was to watch raw footage and summarize the content that was shot.
Sounds a lot [...]
