This week's list
1 Thing I Think Is Great:
I love traditions, I love people who make the world a better place, and I also love cookies. So Katie Fisher Day is a holiday that I am 100% onboard with. Every year on March 12, it's a celebration of kindness. Abbi Jacobson (from Broad City) designed their logo, Amy Poehler is a fan, and the wonderful Rachel Rosenthal helps run the whole thing. Read more about this lovely tradition here: What is Katie Fisher Day?
1 Thing That Made Me Laugh:
Mike Ward's lists on McSweeney's are the rare humor pieces that I go back to again and again. It's been years since I first encountered his list of difficult email addresses, and it still makes me laugh every single time I see it. I find myself pulling this up on my phone and sharing it with friends more than just about any other written comedy bit. It's only five lines long, but I think it's just about perfect. All Mike's lists are good, but this is the best. Email Addresses It Would Be Really Annoying To Give Out Over The Phone
1 Interesting Thing:
The Washington Post has a big feature on Conan O'Brien this week. Conan is amazingly, consistently hilarious. Hearing Conan's thoughts about how the show works and why he focuses on the jokes he does was interesting, but my favorite article was about Conan's now-famous speech the night he hosted The Tonight Show for the last and final time. "If you work really hard and you're kind, amazing things will happen." The Story Behind Conan's Famous "Tonight Show" Quote
