A Farewell to Evelnew
They say only the good die young, so it makes a weird kind of sense that a man named Evel Knievel would live to age 69.

Lewis Black's Black Daysnew
The comedian's dealing with a rush of print and radio interviews before breakfast, which is nothing compared to the misery of simply being in L.A. Not just 'cause it's L.A., but because though there's a slight break in the flames that plague the city -- ash still hangs heavy in the air.

And while that's probably frustrating for his agent, it's incredibly reassuring for those of us who truly love comedy as an art form.
