TOD: I don't watch a lot of American comedies or comics much these days. Of the Americans, I really like Patton Oswalt and Ron White. Now that I've got a region-free DVD player, I've been importing a lot of British comedy, which I love: I've several complete seasons of a show called QI (Quite Interesting), essentially a British panel quiz show that is really just a format (like so many British panel quizzes) for the moderator, in this case, Stephen Fry and a panel of four comedians (Alan Davies being the one constant panelist) to riff on various subjects for a half hour. It is terribly witty, quick, and smart. On YouTube I can watch bits of QI also, as well as Mock The Week and Have I Got News For You. On the BBC, I listen religiously to The News Quiz, The Now Show, Just A Minute, The Unbelieveable Truth, and Sorry, I Haven't A Clue which all feature a host of comics and wits I've come to enjoy like Paul Merton David Mitchell, Sue Perkins, Andy Hamilton, Jack Dee, Fred MacCauley, Jo Brand Graham Norton, Barry Cryer, Tim Brooke-Taylor, and on and on. David Mitchell is also part of a comedy team that does a sketch show called That Mitchell and Webb Sound on radio and That Mitchell and Webb Look on telly. I'm also a fan of a British comedian called Al Murray, particularly in his guise as The Pub Landlord. His show is the only live stand-up show I've ever attended.
