Hi friends,
It's Saturday! Every week, I send out an email with my upcoming shows, one thing I think is great, one thing that made me laugh, and one thing I found interesting.
Upcoming Shows
EVERYWHERE:
As of last night at 11:30 p.m., you can officially see the show I've been writing on for the past seven months. Wyatt Cenac's Problem Areas lives on HBO Go, HBO Now, and the first episode is even up on YouTube if you can't borrow a friend's parent's login. Link
On this week's episode of You're the Expert, Aparna Nancherla, Baratunde Thurston, and Maeve Higgins learn the sexy secrets of giant pouched rats from Dr. Danielle Lee live at NatGeo. Link
WASHINGTON, D.C.:
TODAY! April 14 at 7 p.m. at National Geographic. I'm currently on a train speeding towards National Geographic for another You're the Expert taping with Negin Farsad, Jo Firestone, and 30 Rock's Scott Adsit. Only a few tickets left! Link

My full schedule with all upcoming dates is online here.
This week's list
GREAT:
Alice is nine years old. Every week, she writes in her own captions for The New Yorkercaption contest. And it turns out that Alice is the world's best captioner. Her lines are hysterical. Her cousin, Bess Kalb, is one of the funniest writers in television, so it runs in the family. When Bess tweeted out Alice's captions, they went viral. Please experience them for yourself: Alice Captions
FUNNY:
If we're talking kids and comedy, to me there is nothing funnier than Bad Kids Jokes. The site started because its anonymous curator wanted a place to post jokes that didn't make the cut from their day job. "I moderate jokes on a Kids Jokes website. A lot of joke submissions can't be published because they don't make any sense, the child got a genuine joke completely wrong, or they're a bit too rude for kids... so I publish them here instead." Bad Kids Jokes
INTERESTING:
It turned out to be an all kids-related edition of this newsletter, so why get off topic now? Seth Meyers had his second child this week and it was an adventure of a birth. Listen to him tell the story: Seth Meyers' Wife Gave Birth in Their Apartment Lobby (and then once you watched that, watch Seth interview Wyatt!)
