The sun's over the horizon.

While rifling through my car door pockets I came across many neglected CDs damaged from years of prolonged exposure to heat and scratched to oblivion. There was one CD, however, with the words 'UPRIGHT CB GUY' written in faded marker on its yellowed surface that did still play.



As some of you may have guessed the Upright CB = Upright Citizen's Brigade, a sketch comedy show that played on Comedy Central a few years back. The show never impressed me but what did impress me was Brigade member Matt Besser's ability to turn an irritating situation into comedy album gold.

About his comedy record May I Help You [Dumbass]?:

Every day for a year, Matt Besser answered around a dozen "wrong number" phone calls made to his apartment. These strangers believed they were calling a technical support operator in Houston, Texas, but actually they had neglected to dial the 1 before the area code. Instead of instructing his fellow Manhattanites of the honest mistake they had made, he decided to help them with their computer problems and record their phone calls. Just to make sure that what goes around comes around.

And remember, they called him.

My favorite track [I've been attempting to duplicate his impression for a week now]:

Matt Besser - Jimmy Stewart
