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

The trouble with putting things in your mouth

I’ve put some things in my mouth today and it hasn’t gone well. First I made a salad with a bag of triple-washed lettuce only I think some other bag was probably washed six times and mine none because I found a bug in my salad and later a clump of dirt. I’m kind of embarrassed to admit the time between the bug and the dirt as it reveals that I picked the bug out and kept eating as opposed to shrieking, throwing the lettuce in the air and jumping up onto the couch as would be girly, however I’m not going to let a bug keep me from food. I am,  however, going to let a mouthful of dirt keep me from food. GROSS I said, spitting out gritty mud chunks and throwing out the compromised lettuce. So then I put a Lean Cuisine dinner in the microwave—steak tips portobello which is 160 calories and always cracks me up because I imagine someone going for a manicure and asking for steak tips on their nails! HA!—and the gravy-esque sauce got all over the interior of  the microwave because some loser (pssst…. it was me!) didn’t properly vent the film on top of the tray. What a bunch of bullshit!

The universe is trying to tell me that I need a personal chef, clearly.

Oh and one more thing about the trouble with putting stuff in my mouth: I dropped two blobs of the frozen dinner on myself. One on my fashionable sweatpants and one on my stylish t-shirt. Now I look fantastic but I smell like gravy! Or something which approximates gravy! Gravo!

In other news, big Ustream show on Wednesday! A producer for The Daily Show will trim my hair while I freak out. If you want to read up on how this came to be, I explain it in this post, beginning  under the pic of Pat Kiernan.

Wait, THIS is where to see me this week! (plus info about upcoming guests)

Wait, wait, wait wait wait. I said WAIT. Jeez, in a rush or something? So just when I told you where I’d be this week it seems things are changing. I will now be on Red Eye Jan 6 on the Fox News Channel at midnight PST/3am EST which is Wednesday night/Thursday morning. I will be fantastic, so if you’d like to leave comments about how great I was in advance, I’m currently accepting them.

Right after taping that, but before you see that, I will be doing my Ustream show at 8pm PST/11pm EST and I’m excited to have Chad Rogers from Bravo’s Million Dollar Listing as one of my guests that night.

CHAD!

Will I mention to Chad that Justin Bieber seems to have ripped off his hairstyle?

JUSTIN!

Or will I mention that Jack Wild from Oliver was waaaaay ahead of both of them?

THE ARTFUL DODGER!

It’s tough to say, really. There may be some hot Skippy action as well. And NY1 icon Pat Kiernan will be dropping in, phonewise, one of these nights too. UPDATE, HE WILL BE ON THIS WEDNESDAY’S SHOW! YAY!

PAT KIERNAN!

Speaking of hair, which I kind of always am, the following week on my Ustream show I most likely will be on the business end of a haircut given to me by a producer for a very popular TV show which rhymes with Faily Show. Because I’m ready for a big change in my style, I’m hoping he’ll lop off about 1/18th of an inch of my precious tresses, which I’ll then donate to a very tiny charity who makes very tiny wigs out of very tiny bits of hair. Like wigs for bugs. Bug merkins. Anyway, should more than 1/18th of hair come off the ends of my locks there very well may be tears. Not mine. He’ll also be cutting his own hair which is how we got into this whole mess. It was like this:

Him: I cut my own hair.

Me: No way. That’s impressive. Do you ever cut girl hair?

Him: I have before. I could give you a haircut on your Ustream show.

Me: Sure, why the fuck not.

It’s funny, because if there’s one thing I’m not, it’s relaxed about my hair! (If there’s two things I’m not, it’s relaxed about my hair and made out of ginger bread).

So in sum, your Wednesday looks like this:

8pm PST/11pm EST: Alison Rosen Is Your New Best Friend (Ustream, this is on your computer!)

12am PST/3am EST: Red Eye (Fox News Channel, this is on your television!)
