Seems there’s quite a bit of interest in and curiosity about the intros and other repeating elements on Red Eye so I put this together: It’s Just Wordplay

So I promised…
to blog about every TV appearance but clearly that isn’t going to be happening. I will say that despite doing the Saturday show for about two and a half years now, just pre-taping a couple weeks left me out of practice getting up at the crack of dawn and this morning’s frequent checking of all the alarms was extra nerve-wracked. But there’s something nice about arriving at 30 Rock when no one is there, and were I given the choice to do the segment at a later hour of course I’d take it but I think I’d kind of miss the way the building feels before it comes to life.
Today's 1 Thing from the TONYblog
Liz Pappademas is a good egg. (Get it? See what I did there?)
Not to brag or anything, but I just got off the phone with my new buddyroo, Josh Schwartz, and we were talking about music, and I decided to pay him the compliment of talking at length about myself and all my various feelings about things pertaining to me, and afterward I was reflecting while checking myself out in a mirror and thinking that, as I was explaining to ol’ J.S., music used to be such a big part of my life—I mean, I used to play in a band for crissakes—and it just isn’t anymore. (Although I do really like the new Rilo Kiley album but I forgot to tell him that.) And part of loving music was loving going to shows. (more…)
So…
As it turns out I won’t be doing Red Eye’s Halftime Report this Friday as Andy Levy isn’t going out of town after all, the bastard. Honestly though I was honored to be asked. As for your loss, which is considerable, here are some pictures to make up for it.

clip from Red Eye
it isn’t the unmitigated blast of me that it would be if Brent My Favorite YouTube Guru had made the clip, but it’s from the most recent show nonetheless. And this week I’ll be on twice: Tuesday as a guest and Friday filling in for Andy doing the halftime report. I’d cancel all my plans if I were you.

Vlogs that feature… ME!
If you go to timeoutnewyork.tv and then go to “This week in NYC” and then click on the Eat Out for 9/6/07 and the Dating for 9/6/07 you’ll find me interiewing Gabriella Gershenson, Food Editor and Julia Allison, Dating Columnist, repectively. I also did the One Thing this week with Ethan but that one isn’t up yet.
UPDATE! NOW WITH LINKS: Fall preview
In New York or near the internet? Presumably you are because you’re looking at this blog. I wrote the cover story in the fall preview issue of Time Out New York on stands tomorrow and I also wrote the “3 Questions with…” near the front of the magazine. The latter was with a mime. A chatty mime. I’m not even making that up. And the thing is that I wanted him to just pantomime his answers but he wouldn’t do it without commentary. Eventually I gave up and just interviewed him human to human instead of human to mime. There was no hot mime on human action. But I think it was funny nonetheless. And the cover story is on Kristen Wiig.
Clips
I don’t yet have a youtube link to the recent Red Eye appearance because Brent Walquist The YouTube Guru is on vacation but the clips are on Fox’s Red Eye site. Scroll down to the little pictures right under “Red Eye On Demand” and you’ll see a not particularly flattering one of me, next to the one of Owen Wilson. You’ll be able to tell us apart because he has blonde hair and is troubled whereas I have black hair and am free of worry. I think I’m in three of the clips which play consecutively. I’m also in the “Post Game Wrap Up” under Red Eye Regulars. Note: this might change tomorrow when the site is updated. Also: I’m still imagining that I’m seeing mice! I jumped at a broom earlier.
