I like when people take chances... it is one of the only ways you can show your talents off. You can't be cookie cutter if you want to be noticed. Andre the Giant impressions are a dime a dozen... his unique voice makes him an easy idea when someone wants to make an impression funny. Jason Segal has mastered it, and turned it into material across numerous platforms like his movies and even SNL. So if you can find a way to bring a new spin to something that is old hat, well then you have the opportunity to be special. Comedian Mike O'Gorman might be on to something with his latest project, The Andre the Giant show on Youtube. O'Gorman becomes the 8th Wonder of the World and gets behind the desk (albeit a pretty tall desk) to conduct his own late night talk show. The first episode taps Game of Thrones producer Bryan Cogman as the special guest. The wig is great, the voice is spot on, as is the aloof nature that we would expect Andre to have exhibited if he was a host. The jokes are good (Andre's face when he finds out Game of Thrones is a book = Priceless), and what happens when Andre encounters Cogman's copy of Game of Thrones is one of the funniest things I have seen in a while! I hope they make many more of these. They have their own Youtube channel, and so far one episode is posted. Subscribe on Youtube to not miss a single episode! Check it out embedded after the jump...

The Andre The Giant Show: Episode #1 With Guest Bryan Cogman (Game of Thrones Producer)

Ref Jeff: Mic Up!!!!
I am a big fan of Nick Kroll, as his character on The League may be one of the sleaziest and coolest characters on the boob tube ever. But his funniest work has come from his new sketch comedy show, The Kroll Show. The show airs on Comedy Central and has some killer skits, but so far my favorite has to be Mic'd Up with Ref Jeff. In the skit the TV production company behind an NBA game decides to mic up one of the referees instead of a player, and stuff gets interesting. He is out of control once he becomes the focus of the broadcast. Very, very funniest stuff. Check out the show on Comedy Central and the clip of Ref Jeff after the jump....
