Discussed
Ahoy! The new episode of How Was Your Week is a bonanza of learning, laughter, folks & fun.
First, Broadway composer (Dirty Rotten Scoundrels, The Full Monty, Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown), songwriter and musician DAVID YAZBEK is here to discuss his stint as a writer on Late Night with David Letterman, how the scores of films influence his musical adaptations, and why he doesn't think of Patti LuPone as a diva. She's just Patti!
Then, standup comic and general delight DAMIEN LEMON (The Guy Code, Hip Hop Squares) is here to talk about his worst-ever job and the degrading hat he had to wear whist working it, the whitest event he ever got to spy on, and why he refuses to acknowledge that Kim and Kanye are a thing.
Also: Julie is very excited to share a hot new R&B track with you in its sublime and insane entirety! Donny Deutsch weighs in on the Octomom's upcoming masturbation tape and some ancient blackface history because he was asked to weigh in by the Today Show, who should be ashamed! Details about the mysterious foster cat are gradually revealed! Mario Lopez's latest shame spiral is predicted, and actualizes! And a final plea for Comedy Award votes before Sunday's ceremony.
This is a show for the ages! Not for the aging. Sorry, grandma!
Trivia
- This episode includes Julie's review/annotation/partial rendition of Brian McKnight's “Let Me Show You How Your Pussy Works (If You’re Ready to Learn)." Julie comments that she is ready to learn all kinds of things from Brian McKnight. For example, she would let him teach her pussy how to play bridge and how to speak Mandarin. She would also consider sending her pussy to Brian McKnight for financial advice à la Suze Orman.
