Someone has FINALLY posted Janeane Garofalo’s 1997 HBO comedy special on YouTube. (I have added all of the videos to a playlist and you watch it in its entirety. And you should, especially if you enjoy topical references about Ralph Reed, Brad Pitt and Gwyneth Paltrow’s break-up, and Speed 2: Cruise Control.) If you know me personally, you’ve probably heard me talk about this and how it (and this is, I swear, with utmost sincerity) affected my worldview in both politcal and comedic ways. I wrote about this previously on my blog.
I haven’t seen this in a while, but I can still deliver her jokes and stories along with her verbatim. I’m obsessed.
This made my fucking night. Thanks for posting it.
