Funniest — But Hardly The Most Extreme — Celebrity In DC
April 28, 2006 at 2:26 pm
The DC Improv last night hosted the annual Funniest Celebrity in DC contest.
Looking at the line-up, it’s hard not to think, boy, I’ve heard those jokes and seen those acts before. But where?
Here’s where: The Improv, 1999 — preserved for immortality thanks to the mercury-sealed, concrete-enrusted C-SPAN video vault.
You’ll notice several things about that 1999 show:
- Now THAT was DC political comedy at its finest
- When C-SPAN drops the price from $180 to $24.95, they’re probably also throwing in a yellow highlighter for free
- How could Mortman have lost to Lieberman?
Not just bitter. Extreme bitter.

I was at that concert, and Extreme Mortman was on fire. Lieberman bombed. For goodness sakes, must politics inflict everything in Washington? Can nothing ever be decided on the merits? No wonder Lieberman lost to Dick Cheney. Sore Loserman indeed. Extreme Mortman rules!
