Tony Award winner, hip-hop extraordinaire, lyrical wordsmith, and CollegeHumor Freestyle Rapping Intern, Lin-Manuel Miranda raps about Alexander Hamilton in front of President Obama.

My only question is: how is this video not world-famous by now? Who ISN’T really impressed by this universally enjoyable video!?

Jake, Sam, and I had a great UStream video chat this evening. This screencap of Twitters trending topics is great proof.

Don’t worry, folks: Dan’s A-OK!

In case you haven’t seen it yet. Here’s Prank War 8: The Skydiving Prank.

When I landed this morning in New York I had an email waiting for me from Rosie himself, and… well… just read it.

Rosie, if you’re reading this, I swear it didn’t hit, and I’m sorry that you got that impression.

Sorry, I don’t watch much scripted television. I probably down 15 hours of TV a week and all but 90 minutes of that is devoted to sports. (Curb and Mad Men).

But after receiving a text from Dan about a great new show from the creator of one of my favorite 90’s sitcoms “Just Shoot Me” (Steve Levitan) and starring one of my favorite 90’s sitcom actors (Ed O’Neill) I hit up bittorrent and downloaded the first four episodes in about an hour.
