Happy Sunday, Modern Philosophers.
Last night’s episode of The Nite Show With Danny Cashman was a rerun, so I don’t have any rejected monologue jokes to share with you.
The good news, however, is that we are taping four shows on Wednesday.
As a result, I’ve been locked inside The House on the Hill all day, writing new jokes. The sad reality of it all, of course, is that most of this hard work will end up being used in upcoming Sunday Rejects posts.
That means that I’ve got several batches of Future Rejects baking in the oven, Modern Philosophers. Mmmm…that does make The House on the Hill smell so good.
I spent the morning writing a batch of random jokes about Christmas, Hanukkah, and Winter in Maine. I figured Danny could use those in any of the upcoming shows, and I just wanted to start writing. He finally emailed the list of suggested topics at noon, but I already had a couple of dozen jokes in the oven.
The Holidays are such a great topic for comedy. Who knew that the birth of Jesus was so darn hilarious?
Governor Paul LePage is going to be the guest on Show #1. So, that booking has been a bit of a challenge for me.
While I love writing jokes that mock the Governor who has never gotten my vote, I probably need to censor myself a little since the man is going to be there in person.
Or do I? Hmmmm. Okay, I’ll admit that I considered toning down my jokes at first, but in the end, I just wrote what I would normally write.
In other words, I probably crafted a big helping of Rejects to share with you next week.
Well, it’s back to work for me. Lots of jokes need to be written before Wednesday. I just wanted to check in, and let you know what was going on at The House on the Hill.
Hope you’re all having a great Sunday!
The Return of the Modern Philosopher 
Government LePage on your show? Wow, this is like a Christmas present, only i can’t tell if this means that you’ve been naughty or nice.
A little of both? 🙂
That means Santa’s Naughty and Nice lists allow some overlap…. Interesting….
This is getting too complicated. 🙂
I think you should write some jokes for the Governor to say about Danny. You think, Austin? Curry some favor with the Guv’ner? Also I bet the boss would think that’s a good idea.
I did write a joke that made fun of both Danny and the Governor. Hope it can sneak past the censor. 🙂
hey what flavor are those green cookies??? do a cookie monster joke.
how about” Good evening and welcome I may be Danny Cashman bu ton tonights show we got the real man , with all (our) cash Governor le page…..” yes?no bit boring.
what about a tie in with the current royal visit…. is he there to plug something important or just b cos its xmas???
The Royals aren’t visiting Maine..
yes i know that but they are in new york. ask if gov. lepage got invite to the big diner at the metropolitan
Okay. I’m on it.
or did he just get a job waitering ( post about the metropolitan) because of all the free food on offer out back….
I don’t know…
I sent in my rejects this afternoon. Glad to hear you didn’t tone it down!
Nah. If LePage can’t take a joke, then he shouldn’t say and do stupid things. Maybe he’ll take us out for a drink after the show! 🙂
