news, show listings, contests, ticket give-aways and slander about Nashville's comedy community
Yesterday we brought you an example of how the national news media DID talk about the unprecedented flooding we experienced earlier this month.. and today we have another: The Daily Show onComedy Central:

During the big flood we heard a lot of complaints that the national news media weren’t talking about the situation in Nashville. Well, these people obviously weren’t watching CNN or The Weather Channel or, more importantly, The Colbert Report on Comedy Central:

There’s absolutely nothing funny about the terrible weather and the flooding that has left so many people stranded and homeless.. except for these hilarious things.
First, Nashville CBS affiliate WTVF (NewsChannel5) weather guy Charlie Neese drew something interesting the other day to describe our flooding situation. video clips are all over the interweb:
There’s already a Facebook page dedicated to the Nashville Weather Penis.
Another Facebook page was created called I-survived-the-Great-Nashville-Monsoon-of-May-1st that has been a great source of information and photos and whatnot.. but I think it’s greatest achievement was this image uploaded by David E.:
Good work, everybody. I think we’re going to be O-K.
Seriously, if you have free time and want to help, visit Hands On Nashville at http://www.hon.org and volunteer – that’s the Mayor’s organization that will allow Metro Nashville to get reimbursed with Federal funds for every person who helps out.
Also, If you see Chad Riden driving around in a pickup with a chainsaw and a shovel, that may not have anything to do with the flooding situation.. that’s just what he does all day.

It’s snowing, Nashville! HOLY CRAP! Someone call off school and rush out to Kroger! While we await our inevitable, icy deaths.. let’s look back at a couple videos produced the last time it snowed in town.
First, Tom Green got into a snowball fight outside of Zanies (we can’t embed that one).
