Here I am in the green room before Red Eye

Here  I am in another green room during the taping of  Red Eye when Dr. Baden was doing his segment and they were all, “Hey Alison, get the hell out of here.” “Fine,” I replied ruefully. “I’ll go take a photo of myself in the green room.” Then I cursed them mightily up and down. They were none the wiser.

And then after the show I was going to go home but next thing I knew I was at a party. Here’s Laura Leu.

Ooh look, an accordion which to feature prominently in an upcoming segment on my Ustream show when aforementioned Laura Leu who plays a mean squeezebox gives me a lesson!

Pencils, plants, hair up and then down. This clip truly cuts to the heart of what I do best.

On tonight’s Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend

fun-shira-lazarOn tonight’s show: Shira Lazar

So as you may have gleaned from Twitter today, the live haircut I was to be given on camera by a producer for The Daily Show won’t be happening because he’s flying to Vegas for a story (though he promises/threatens to drop into the chat room if his flight has wifi). My split ends are thankful for the temporary stay of execution.

I’m excited to welcome media empress and internet personality Shira Lazar whom you may recognize from Red Eye last night or her various appearances on just about everything. Seriously, she is everywhere, including my show tonight! Yay!

Also, Dustin will be dropping in. Double yay!

Also, I kind of want to talk a little about the weird cognitive dissonance I feel when thinking about Haiti for one minute and then getting distracted and thinking of a funny thing to tweet the next and then being like “Wait, but what about Haiti.” You know? Did that make any sense? It’s not dissimilar to what many of us felt after 9/11. So if you guys want to talk about this at all, we can, and if you’d rather keep things on a lighter note, we can do that too!

And of course we’ll be naming a couple plants. One is red and one is yellow. Go nuts!

Watch here at 10pm EST/7pm PST
