Hello, my name is Erich, and I’ll be your recapper this week. Apparently Rick Paulas started writing these recaps, but he’s not able to do it because he’s on vacation for the next two weeks. That brings me to my first point: who takes a vacation, let alone a two week vacation? Elitists, that’s who. Is that who you want writing your recap? I think not.
Now that we’ve got that squared away, let me tell you about the show. (more…)

At Big News, we understand the impact of the higher gas prices. Sometimes, you need to leave your car by the side of the road until you can blackmail the senior Idaho senator to raise gas money. Sometimes, you have to borrow money from your boss until you turn the tricks you have planned for the weekend. Sometimes, you have to spend more time working in the office instead of staying at home and tracking the escapades of Amy Winehouse. Well, Big News is doing its part to help by cutting the time it starts from 10 pm to 9 pm! That’s one less hour until you can watch the brand new weekly show at the IO West! And if you act now - we’ll throw in these bonus jokes!
