Russell Brand running circles around the, uh, personalities of Morning Joe.

One of the YouTube comments made a great point(!): If they’re this flustered by Russell Brand, imagine if they were interviewing David Mitchell.

The woman in the blue dress is gross: she acts like Brand is a circus act to gawk at and not take seriously. The other two aren’t much better; it’s clear they haven’t done their homework on him. So condescending.

Brand is articulate and smart. Meanwhile, the people in this show are fucking horrible.

Except for “Forgetting Sarah Marshall,” I have not generally enjoyed what I have seen of Russell Brand. But the way he takes control of what is truly a spectacularly unprofessional display from the Morning Joe crew is really impressive. He never loses his cool, he remains charming and funny despite middle-school-level cool-kid-crowd passive-aggression and makes everyone involved with the show look petty, out-of-touch and rude by calling out their ridiculous behavior specifically while keeping a smile on his face. Well played.

Patton Oswalt on Joke Theft, Heckling, and Rape Culture

adamconover:

Sometimes by saying a great thing you also do a great thing. Here Oswalt has done both. Teaching us the rest of us how to think, be humble, and grow since whatever year he was born. Really great.

Check out the newest episode of Improv4Humans, with Matt Besser, Todd Glass, Ben Rodgers, Anthony King and myself! In it, I mistakenly conflate Area 51 and Roswell, Todd is terrible at carnival games, and everyone starts plotting a way to undo the Civil War.

"When in doubt, make a fool of yourself. There is a microscopically thin line between being brilliantly creative and acting like the most gigantic idiot on earth. So what the hell, leap."
— Cynthia Heimel
"Standing Ovations are now de rigeur in the theater. They used to be rare, awarded only to extraordinary performances. In straight (non-musical) plays, especially, the highest compliment audiences could pay would be to sit pinned in their seats by the power of the experience they’d had. I can remember a number of occasions when not only did I not want to get out of my seat, I didn’t want to talk to anyone until I had shaken off the effect of what I had seen. No longer — you don’t get the chance. The audience is on its feet even before the first bow, no matter how limp or shallow the piece. They are, of course, giving the ovation to themselves for having been part of a participatory experience rather than a passive one, and for having spent their time and money on it. They’re reminding themselves that they’re alive. Which is not a bad thing, but which makes the extraordinary ordinary."
— Stephen Sondheim, not a bad thing (via boringoldraphael)
"It is not the critic who counts: not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles or where the doer of deeds could have done better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood, who strives valiantly, who errs and comes up short again and again, because there is no effort without error or shortcoming, but who knows the great enthusiasms, the great devotions, who spends himself for a worthy cause; who, at the best, knows, in the end, the triumph of high achievement, and who, at the worst, if he fails, at least he fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who knew neither victory nor defeat."
— Teddy Roosevelt, “Citizenship in a Republic.”
