They Called Him Crazy Eyes And Hid Him In The Writers’ Room

Danny Cashman, the host of The Nite Show, posted some photos on Facebook today from the Writers Sketch I appeared in during Saturday’s show.

I wanted to share one photo with you, Modern Philosophers, because it just made me laugh.

Look at my eyes in the above photo.  I cropped it from Danny’s version just to give you a better view of what’s going on in my big brown peepers.

The way I see it (good one!), is I’ve got Crazy Eyes and I’m thinking about the quickest, cleanest way to kill Danny and then make my escape.  That odd shadow on the wall behind me only adds to the sinister feel of the photo.

I might also be a little confused by why Danny has a pair of men’s slacks around his neck.  Plus, I am clearly considering how to use that microphone as a weapon.

I just think the picture is a hoot.  I put it on my Facebook page and also added it to my profile on that dating website.  Nothing says “stable blind date” more than a photo of a guy with Crazy Eyes, am I right, ladies?

Of course, I think it also serves as photographic evidence of why writers need to remain behind the camera.

Sure, it’s fun to get up there in front of a live studio audience a couple of times a year, but I know I belong hidden in the crowd where the cameras cannot find me.

I don’t mind being recognized by the audience during a taping, but I’d prefer them to know me as the guy who wrote a hilarious joke, rather than as that dork who fumbled his lines up on stage.

What do you think of the photo, Modern Philosophers? Do I look homicidal to you?  Do I have the Crazy Eyes?  Is Danny in any immediate danger?  How do you think you’d react to being up in front of the cameras and a packed house?
