  1. Chicago, that tippling town

    The first rule of business — any business — is this: Do what you do well.
    The first rule of business — any business — is this: Do what you do well. And what Chicago does well is drink. Oh, there are other things to be sure (architecture! comedy! baseball!), but in this city, booze is as much a business as it is...

  2. Second City Comedy comes to The Ridgefield Playhouse on May 11

    Second City is a Chicago-based comedy troupe best described by the names of its past members. Names like Akroyd, Belushi, Colbert, Carell, Farley, Fey, Murray and Myers. This is improv at its finest, and the current cast will most likely contain some SNL stars of tomorrow. Friday night they'll be at the Ridgefield Playhouse for a show entitled <em>Laugh Out Loud</em>. OK, so it's not a great title, but trust me, they're funny. <strong></strong>

  3. 'God Bless America' star Joel is the other, other Murray

    Joel Murray and Bobcat Goldthwait have known each other since 1985, when they met on the set of "One Crazy Summer," an iconic comedy of the era starring John Cusack as a dorky animator and Demi Moore as the girl of his dreams.

  7. Q&A: Scott Adsit of '30 Rock'

    These days, you might know Scott Adsit best as overworked and under-appreciated producer Pete Hornberger on NBC's &ldquo;30 Rock,&rdquo; but, if you're old enough (or just a nerd about these things), you may also remember him from his days performing in iconic mid-&rsquo;90s Second City shows like &ldquo;Pinata Full of Bees&rdquo; and &ldquo;Paradigm Lost.&rdquo; We caught up with Adsit during his break from &ldquo;30 Rock&rdquo; to reminisce about his days in Chicago, get his thoughts on &ldquo;30 Rock&rdquo; and Pete Hornberger's final season and talk about pizza.

  8. Funny or Die's Adam McKay on his site's comedy influence after five years

    Five years ago this month the influential comedy website Funny or Die took a few baby steps and uploaded its first video, a rough, hastily assembled sketch that starred, appropriately enough, a baby. Pearl McKay was 2 years old at the time, the daughter of parents deeply rooted in Chicago &mdash; her mother, Shira Piven, grew up in Evanston, the sister of actor Jeremy Piven. Pearl's father, Adam McKay, got his start in the Chicago comedy scene in the early '90s, then left in 1995 to become a writer at "Saturday Night Live." The video was called "The Landlord" and featured Pearl screaming at McKay's comedy partner, Will Ferrell. Back then, expectations for Funny or Die, which seemed like just another mingling of originally produced comedy videos and user-uploaded material, fell somewhere in line with scores of other, similar Hollywood-Internet hybrid misfires &mdash; remember Dot Comedy (NBC), Pop (Steven Spielberg) and SuperDeluxe (TBS)?
