I ganked this bit from Jane Espenson’s blog (which you should totally make part of your rotation — not just because she’s a talented TV writer who’s worked on Buffy, Firefly, and Battlestar Galactica, but because she’ll tell you what she had for lunch every day!), an email she got from her old Buffy compatriot, and current Private Practice executive producer, Marti Noxon:
"Friday, the 14th of December at 8 p.m., there will be a comedy benefit for the Motion Picture and Television Fund, which is available to provide health and social services to all workers in the entertainment industry affected by the strike. The line-up is EDDIE IZZARD, JACK BLACK AND KYLE GASS (Tenacious D), SARAH SILVERMAN, PATTON OSWALT, and LEWIS BLACK." It’s at Royce Hall at UCLA. Get tickets by visiting UCLALive.org, calling 310-825-2101, or contacting Ticketmaster.
If I lived in Los Angeles — or had a whole boat of frequent flier miles — I’d go. But I don’t, so you should. And report back and let us all know how it was.

Oh my God!!!! Thank you for linking this blog! I love Jane Espenson’s work and as an aspiring writer, this is a fantastic ressource. I’m going through the archives at the moment, and also plan to go guy the book she just suggested (How to Write the TV Drama by Pamela Douglas) after work. Thank you! And someone please attend this even and report back!
Sara Silverman is not pretty or funny. She kinda blows, and I’m not talking Kimmel. She looks like she needs a long, hot shower. I also think she needs to blow her nose (job).
