let's hit bottom together, shall we!

When I was a child, I thought he was really funny. I would get all excited to watch his specials on PBS. Does anyone else share my secret shame?*

*yeah I know there's supposed to be no such thing as guilty pleasures, but I think this is....

Yeah, they were household events for my family as well. I didn't even realize I was guilty about this until now.

My 10th-grade civics teacher made us watch a Mark Russell special once. I'm still mad.

I like him.

Like Tom Lehrer without teeth. And he didn't play the piano, he tinkled.

Still, there are worse things (SNL 'satire').

I just started a thread on ILE, Matt, ya nutball! (But I like the idea of two threads to mock him.)

Poor man's Tom Lehrer....at best.

I'm imagining Mark Russell redoing Nas's "Hate Me Now" as a dis track to Ned! What a video that would be.
