The old curiosity shop:

It could have been the set for Ronnie Barker's television comedy Open All Hours.

Builders were astonished to find this shop frozen in time, with a 1927 bill to repair the building for £36 15s 7d, ancient bottles of medicine and magazines from the Thirties.

Council workmen went to check out the boarded-up terraced shop in Accrington, Lancashire, after concerns were raised over the building's safety.

But when they removed the boarding, they found a perfectly preserved old-fashioned corner shop and ice cream parlour.

Cigarette adverts from the Fifties, a magazine giving a day-by-day account of the young Princess Elizabeth's tour of Australia in 1938, ice cream spoons and old-fashioned sweet jars were on display.

He said: 'It is like time stood still. There are items 60 years old where they were left. People keep asking me if they can make a visit because it brings back so many memories.

No joke! Kimmel, Silverman split after 5 years

Late-night talk show host Jimmy Kimmel and his comedienne girlfriend Sarah Silverman have called it quits after five years together according to Vanity Fair.

The magazine's blog VF Daily reports that Kimmel's representative Lewis Kay and Silverman's rep Amy Zvi both confirmed the two are no longer dating. The reps issued a joint statement saying, "Jimmy and Sarah have will have no further comment."

Kimmel is the host of "Jimmy Kimmel Live!" on ABC. Silverman stars in "The Sarah Silverman Program" on Comedy Central.

The couple scored hits on YouTube this year when both made mock music videos professing their "love" for Matt Damon and Ben Affleck.

Edited SNL subprime video - no longer available

clipper's remarks: [As our blogging colleagues Peter Viles at L.A. Land and Matea Gold Show Tracker have thoroughly documented, the Sandlers actually exist and are prominent supporters of liberal and Democratic causes. They assembled a vast array of subprime loan packages in their Golden West Financial and sold it to Wachovia Bank for $24 billion before the financial bottom fell out.

In the skit, a parody of a C-SPAN news conference replay, the Sandlers express puzzlement over why Pelosi invited them as victims because they're really delighted with their fortune and laughingly see Wachovia Bank as the victim. A graphic beneath the Sandlers says, "People who should be shot."]

I seldom ever watch SNL but came across this article on a skit - the video was pulled - edited and reposted - however it nows seems it was pulled again and is not available - guess people with power got their way.

Edited SNL subprime video also happens to excise Barney Frank's involvement

Not every comedy sketch on "Saturday Night Live" has to do with Alaska Gov. Sarah Palin.

But there's an unusual twist this week over another SNL skit. This one concerns a long, satirical bit about the Washington financial bailout bill including a "President Bush," a House Speaker "Nancy Pelosi" and a Rep. "Barney Frank."

Pelosi introduces a series of alleged "victims" of the Wall Street mess, who include two men clearly unqualified to have any kind of mortgage, a well-to-do couple who speculated in condos and lost all but 10% of their profits and an older couple, Herb and Marion Sandler.

‘The Passion’ producer says American Carol movie part of ‘emerging culture war’

Hollywood, Oct 3, 2008 / 03:48 pm (CNA).- Steve McEveety, producer of "The Passion of the Christ," has written a letter encouraging people to see the new movie "An American Carol," comparing buying tickets for the movie to casting a vote in the “emerging culture war.” American Carol producer John Shepherd explained to CNA that the movie is meant to make Hollywood question its animosity towards conservatives.

McEveety describes the first movie, comedian Bill Maher’s “Religulous,” as a “militant pro-atheism documentary.”

McEveety contrasts the film with David Zucker's “An American Carol,” calling the latter a “pro-America, pro-faith comedy.”

He describes Zucker’s movie as “a film that celebrates America as a country founded on the principles of faith. If you are one of the so-called ‘religious’ crazies who wants to be heard LOUD and CLEAR by Hollywood -- come out to the theater on October 3rd and buy a ticket for An American Carol.”

Political Satire Stronger Than Candidates

Mon, 06 Oct 2008 14:20:13 GMT

clipped by: citizenbfk
clipper's remarks: This is a good article about extra-wonderful satire and Republican VP candidate Sarah Palin (the first quote clipped here)...and a couple of nice slashes at Democratic VP candidate Joe Biden.

These comedy sketches are becoming more well-known than the candidates themselves. Many folks now, when they hear Palin speak, wonder ahead to how SNL will parody it.

Palin, certainly, gives the comics a lot of material to work with.

A link to a video of the skits is at the bottom of this article.

With the elections just a bit more than three weeks from now, we have to "press on," -- these Republicans are like vampires and to kill them you really have to drive a stake through their heart: They're not dead till they're dead.

At least with our talented comics we not only can 'press on,' but laugh-on as well.

“Gwen, we don’t know if this climate change hoozie-what’s-it is man made or if it’s just a natural part of the ‘End of Days,’” she said. “But I’m not gonna talk about that. I would like to talk about taxes, because with Barack Obama, you’re gonna be paying higher taxes. But not with me and my fellow maverick. We are not afraid to get maverick-y in there and ruffle feathers and not got to allow that. And also, too, the great Ronald Reagan.”

“Look, I love John McCain,” he began. “He is one of my dearest friends. But at the same time, he’s also dangerously unbalanced. I mean, let’s be frank, John McCain - and again, this is a man I would take a bullet for - is bad at his job and mentally unstable. As my mother would say, ‘God love him, but he’s a raging maniac. And a dear, dear friend.”

The SNL Biden/Palin Debate

clipper's remarks: The video is at the source, couldn't clip.

Clip Source: rawstory.com

Tina Fey reprised her role as Republican vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin during a Saturday Night Live spoof of Thursday's debate.

Rapper and actress Queen Latifah played the role of moderator Gwen Ifill of PBS while cast member Jason Sudeikis spoofed Palin's Democratic opponent Sen. Joe Biden.

This is Fey's third skit parroting Palin's gaffes. SNL opened this season with a spoof of Palin and Sen. Hillary Clinton giving a press conference denouncing sexism in the media.

Several weeks later, Fey mocked Palin's highly ridiculed interview with CBS' Katie Couric.

In the latest episode of Fey's comic crusade against Gov. Palin, Fey spoofed the governor's stance on same-sex marriage, climate change as the "end of days," and being a "maverick."

"But don't think I don't tolerate gay people, because I do, I tolerate them with all my heart," Fey said. "And I know quite a few, too, not personally, but I know of them."

This video is from NBC's Saturday Night Live, broadcast October 4, 2008.

The rise of Tina Fey: From 'SNL' to sitcom phenom and box office draw

Fey keeps a grip on her haul of statuettes at last Sunday's Emmys in L.A.

Specifically, it arrived at around 11 p.m. last Sunday as Fey, dressed to the nines in a slinky David Meister gown, hoisted three Emmy Awards backstage at Los Angeles' Nokia Theatre amid a sea of suits.

She nabbed one for lead actress in a comedy series, one for comedy writing and one for the show she created that made it all possible, "30 Rock."

Namely Jennifer Aniston and Winfrey, whose close friend Gayle King reported to New York magazine: "Tina Fey and Oprah Winfrey together is magic. It's great television."

Fey herself has become a headliner on her alma mater "Saturday Night Live." On Sept. 13, she made a guest appearance on the season premiere of "SNL" as vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin - a lauded impression that became nbc.com's most-watched clip ever.
