CHALLENGE: Can I connect Bo Burnham to every comedian in this magazine photoshoot posted by Mike Birbiglia?

Let's see...

Taylor Tomlinson: appeared at a Largo show with Bo (also featured are Pete Holmes, Joe Mande, and Whitmer Thomas)

Jacqueline Novak: appeared at a Largo show with Bo (along with her partner Chris Laker and Anthony Jeselnik). Plus, she hosts a podcast called Poog with Bo's frequent collaborator Kate Berlant!

Ramy Youssef: He and Bo have not collaborated or been pictured together that I know of.

BUT, Ramy is tight with two of Bo's good friends: Jerrod Carmichael (who executive-produced his Hulu show—and they both are in Poor Things) and Chris Storer (who has directed two of his comedy specials). So pretty closely connected!

Jenny Slate: Aside from being a frequent guest on Kroll Show (which Bo appears on as Diz, a British hooligan with songs about the royal family and soccer), Jenny performed with Bo at a Largo show in 2017.

Alex Edelman: Bo was photographed in 2022 after one of Alex's shows with Kate Berlant. Probably taking a break from working on her spectacular one-woman show!

And last but not least Mike Birbiglia: Again, I have no photos of the two, but they have tons of friends in common, and Mike speaks very highly of Bo and Inside.

He also called Bo the "Avatar of Comedy" in his Working It Out podcast episode with Kate Berlant.

So there you have it. Challenge completed! ✌🏼🐔

Morris: You should have put "spoiler alert" on all those Death Canoe tweets. Also, it is unsafe for work. You know, a lot of what you wrote was profane.

Donna: That movie's 25 years old, Morris. And if you don't like how I tweet, don't follow me.

Morris: What are you doing now? I'm talking to you.

Donna: I'm live tweeting this dopey conversation.

Now obviously you can’t be as cool as me with my signed copy and handwritten note, but you can enjoy this great Joe Mande jalapeño story from his hit album “Bitchface.”

SNL adventure!!! 4/14/18

Detailed account of attending John Mulaney’s snl episode!!! This is almost a month late S O R R Y I’ve had finals and emotional goodbyes and i moved back home for summer break lol

THIS WAS AN AMAZING EXPERIENCE. Tbh it was probably my best experience in the standby line (bill’s show was still the best show, no offense john)

I think I got there at 8 or 9pm on Thursday and was 4th in line

@barryberkman and I got to hang out again!!!! We had a lot of fun running around Times Square, watching It, fighting cockroaches, and playing heads up with other people in the line lol I remember someone from snl coming out to take a picture of the line and he told us it was going to be a GREAT show. The weather was PERFECT!!! The line was SO long. It went around the corner and onto the next block. I took a video of  the whole line and it’s 3 min and 45 secs long.

I got the 3rd ticket for the live show! OKAY SO I HAD TROUBLE WITH THE SUBWAY AND WAS L A T E I ran a few blocks to Rockefeller and it didn’t even hit me that Tan France from Queer Eye was in the same revolving door as me until later 😱

While waiting in the rotunda, we saw Joe Mande, Nick Kroll, Max Silvestri, and Jon Hamm!!!!!  We got to sit in the far left section that’s right in front of the musical guest stage. I’ve NEVER gotten to sit there before!! The view was FANTASTIC. So barryberkman and I realized noticed some of the guys from Queer Eye (Jonathan, Tan, and Antoni) were sitting in the next section and started lowkey freaking out. And then Tan noticed and WAVED AT US. More freaking out. And then Antoni BLEW US A KISS. Fucking dead. I can’t believe it I love them SO MUCH!!

Saw them take this a few minutes after they acknowledged my existence

Things I remember from the show:

Jack White was walking around and looked up and waved at our section! His kids were there too they were adorable

Darrell Hammond was walking around too! Random, but I remember he had a nice hat on lol

Kate was jumping during the warms ups and she waved at the pages that were dancing in the balcony lmao

Kate and Beck were dancing before the show (Che posted a video on his insta story) and were slow dancing together at one point

Everyone’s shock when Ben Stiller and Robert De Niro showed up

The guy that cheered when John mentioned Connecticut was sitting behind me lol I just love that face he made

I’ve mentioned this before, but there’s a woman that grabs the host right after sketches to safely lead them to where they need to go. So she grabbed John’s hand after the monologue AND HE FUCKING LEAPED OFF OF THE STAGE LIKE A BALLERINA OR GAZELLE IT WAS MARVELOUS

YEAH SO I GOT TO SEE JOHN WALKING AROUND IN DRAG LMAO HE WAS WEARING HEELS HES ALREADY SO TALL

In the school walkout sketch, the second Alex shouted YES LANCE Pete completely broke

Everyone dying of laughter when Kate got up to speak

EVERYONES FACE WHEN LESLIE CAME OUT DURING THAT SKETCH WITH THOSE STILETTO HEEEEEELS

Bc of our seats we could see people running around behind the lobster sketch so I saw people helping Alex get ready and after the sketch I saw Kenan walking out in his lobster costume LOL

ALSO I FEEL FUCKING BLESSED TO HAVE WITNESSED THE LOBSTER DINER SKETCH. AS A BROADWAY NERD THIS WAS FUCKING HILARIOUS.

THAT MEAN GIRLS REFERENCE i got to see the first mean girls preview in new york and i fucking loved it everyone listen to the cast album when it comes out please

Pete just died in that sketch omg

Oh yeah, so Nick Kroll and Joe Mande would walk out between sketches to watch the show and they sat behind us im fucking shook we basically watched the show together nbd

I never realized how tall John is.... like I’ve always thought his “tall child” joke is funny but during goodnights he towered over everyone HE IS SO TALL. HE IS A TALL CHILD. I GET IT NOW

After the goodnights, John waved at each section adsfjclmas he’s so sweet 

I have an autograph book now! Here’s a crappy gif of it lol:

Aidy was cute ofc 💕and she used barryberkman’s sharpie to sign my book “I promise I won’t seal it!”

Max Silvestri came out! He opened for Kid Gorgeous and he is HILARIOUS! I asked for his autograph and his girlfriend said something about how this doesn’t happen often 😂

NICK KROLL CAME UP TO US he seemed super tired but I honestly love big mouth and I wanted to tell him. He was very nice and took a pic and signed my book

Melissa took her time signing my book and I told her that I thought her autograph was beautiful! We were all just gushing about how much we adore her and when she left I heard her say, “I really felt the love tonight!”

Chris Redd said his autograph was bad before he signed but I think it looks great!

So the day before, Pete made Alex an insta and Alex hates it lolol so when Alex came out I told him that I love his new instagram account and he seemed confused for a second before saying, “Oh! thAAAAANKS. You like it? Yeah it’s Pete’s, not mine 😂”

Higgins, Che, and Colin all came out at the same time and I’ve never seen Che come out before so I asked him for a pic. I told him that I love his insta stories and that made him laugh (they’re pretty entertaining and he has a lot to say)

Higgins saw that we were taking a picture and he was like let me get in on this and tried to photobomb with barryberkman so here’s the result

ASDFGHAKFJLSDFL HE TRIED AND I FAILED MY BAD

Colin told barryberkman about how he had disney autograph books lmao 

Cecily Strong is a gorgeous woman and I love her so much asdfghjkljaslkfm someone complimented her shoes and she looked down and said, “Oh, these are actually mine so I can accept the compliment!” She has a beautiful autograph and she is gorgeous and i love her a lot okaybye

My last show of the season :( I probably can’t do standby a lot next school year bc my workload is going to be REALLY intense but who knows! I still love this show so much and I’m so grateful that I have had so many lovely experiences going and I’ve met amazing people and have made many new friends because of this

Thank you SNL 💕💕💕
