A couple months ago when we heard that The Daily Show was flying in to do a two day shoot in Murfreesboro, we weren’t exactly sure how.. but we knew someone in the area would soon make us cringe. As the news reports about the Mosque in Murfreesboro continue to make Tennessee look increasingly intolerant and ignorant, we’d like to point out that MOST of us Middle Tennesseeans are nice, friendly people who will NOT firebomb your religious gathering places.
On August 25th, Aasif Mandvi reported on the 30+ year-old Islamic center in Mufreesboro that is facing opposition as they try to expand. Enjoy the video:

Tickets are now on sale for the Nashville stop of the Tim & Eric Awesome Tour Great Job! Chrimbus Spectacular 2010 at the Cannery Ballroom December 3rd.
Legend has it that Tim Heidecker and Eric Wareheim mailed Bob Odenkirk an unsolicited demo dvd of their videos packed with an invoice, charging him for the package as an attempt to get his attention. The ploy worked, and it wasn’t long before Odenkirk helped the duo produce “Tom Goes to the Mayor” (a very odd, hilarious cartoon) for Cartoon Network’s Adult Swim. Tom ran from roughly 2004 to 2006, when TIm & Eric began working on their new show “Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!” – a very odd, hilarious sketch comedy show that has featured guest appearances from John C. Reilly, Neil Hamburger, “Weird Al” Yankovic, Maria Bamford, Patton Oswalt and many more wonderful people. The show uses cheesy editing and crappy effects to link together surrealistic, satirical anti-humor with public access-style music acts, fake commercials and poop joke weirdness to make what they refer to as “the nightmare version of television.”
Tim and Eric have taken the show on the road for their second multi-city tour leading up to the airing of their one hour special on December 5th 2010, called “Tim and Eric’s Chrimbus Special.”
The live show line-up includes Tim & Eric’s band, Pusswhip Banggang:
..and America’s Funnyman Neil Hamburger:
I’m just going to assume that you’ve already stopped reading this and bought your tickets.. if you haven’t.. I’ll just let Tim & Eric pitch you the show themselves:
