THE SHOW MUST GO ON – A little way into his act on a recent Saturday at the Luxor in Vegas, audience members gasped as blood started flowing from the nose of Carrot Top. Stagehands rushed forward with Kleenex to stem the bleeding but the deluge was slow in receding. No word on what might have caused the problem.

WE ALL HAVE OUR VICES – What well known and even respected TV and film comedian who loves to tell the world how to run itself won’t go on stage without first having a hooker and/or masturbating backstage? Only The Shadow knows.

“THAT’S A WHAT I LIKE” – It’s was a shocking pleasure to suddenly see the craggy face of Matt Riedy, former Seattle comedian and radio personality, on a recent “Mad Men” episode. He was playing an airline executive receiving the message at a restaurant from the incredible Jon Hamm that the ad agency would be dumping his account. Matt was pretty much, “Thanks for the drink but fuck you very much.” Very impressive.
