I'm convinced that the Annual Improv Festival at the iO West (Improv on Olympic) Theater is one of the best-kept comedy secrets in Los Angeles. How else could I have scored tickets over the last two years to see the likes of Eric Idle, Harry Shearer, and the casts of MadTV and The Office in such an intimate theater?

Last night some of my friends got together to watch the season premiere of "Project Runway". With a very tall surprise up my cap sleeve, I showed up to the viewing party with the one and only Santino Rice. Santino and I had met this summer at the Project Angel Food party backstage at the Rufus Wainwright concert. I thought who better to give us the inside scoop on all things "Project Runway"? First...

Set your Tivo's. One of the mid-season pickups that we have been hearing great buzz over premiers tomorrow night and stars Andy Richter, the one-time sidekick of Conan O'Brien, in his very own sitcom called "Andy Barker P.I." Replacing "30 Rock" in the 9:30 time slot on NBC, this show does have to battle March Madness, but hello, that's what Tivo is for!

Whatever you're playing at Bloomberg, stop it now. We don't even watch The Tonight Show with Jay Leno but there's no reason why when Conan takes over the show at the end of the decade that the show should leave its cushy Burbank studio. We think Conan will do just fine out here on the left coast. In fact, the pasty talk show host could use some sun. And what does New York's Mayor Bloomberg care for anyway? He won't be in office in 2009 so there's no political capital in stealing the show away from Los Angeles.
We know where we're going this Saturday—straight to Hell! And we couldn't be more excited. Every Saturday from now through Halloween, the Steve Allen Theater in Hollywood presents "Hollywood Hell House."
