Now that Comedy Central came to their senses and did not renew The Jeff Dunham Show for a second season I think we can all breath a little easier. That being said, here are five more shows I would really love to see get the axe.

1. Deadliest Catch - This show was entertaining for one season at best. It should have been a two or three part series. We get it, crab fishing is dangerous…kinda.

2. Pawn Stars - I really don’t want to watch a bunch of fat guys haggle over some piece of shit antique. I have never seen people sweat as much as they do in that show.

3. The Simpsons - I hate to say it, but this show needs to go. We can all collectively blame Family Guy for the Simpsons demise.

4. The Real House Wives Of Any Where - It doesn’t matter where these whores are from. Atlanta or Orange County these ladies make me want to gouge my eyes out and with a broken bottle of Cristal.

5. MTV - Not one particular show on MTV but the whole station. I would rather watch the fisherman from Deadliest Catch have a political debate with the gold diggers from Real House Wives for hours straight than watch one minute of MTV.

While on the road last week I had a new first to add to the list. I was rousted out of bed by the hotel staff for get this…someone was smoking on my floor (Gasp). Not only did they bang on my door, but they demanded that I let them into the room to check to see if I was smoking. They were suspicious because I didn’t want to let them into my room. Not because I was smoking, but rather because I was standing there in just my boxers…and it was in the morning!!

The real kicker of this was that I am pretty sure they came to my room first. They totally assumed since I was the comedian in town it was me. Now was this probably a safe assumption…sure for the most part, but I don’t smoke. I have never smoked, and the few times I have tried to smoke I looked like someone was trying to stick a dick in my mouth rather than a cigarette.

I am glad to say that they did apprehend the smoking culprits. It was the couple in the room across the hall. I could smell the smoke, and I am pretty sure the entire hotel knew which room it was coming from, but yet they still came to my room first.

So the moral of this story is don’t assume because I lead a certain life style that I smoke. You would be wrong. Now if someone in your small town turns up missing. I am probably the guy you want to speak with first.

So I am reading CNN and came across this link http://www.thefrisky.com/post/246-dealbreaker-comedians/?cnn=yes

This is a blog post by some woman that has dated “comedians” in the past. Now I started reading this article thinking she might have actually dated a working comedian. No! She dated a couple of open micers. There is a huge difference honey!

In her story she mentions going to watch one of his shows, and by shows it should be stated its probably an open mic, as she mentions a 12 person crowd. Then she states that he is bombing, which also eludes to the fact that this guy was an open micer.

The second “comedian” she is dating is one of those guys that is always on and telling jokes. This also provides evidence that he is an open micer. We all know the guy at the open mic that approaches you and you are trying to be nice but the whole time he is running material past you trying to get you to laugh. Most actual comedians don’t do this. The guy in her story is probably someone that tried comedy a few times and just thinks he is funny. She never mentions going to any of his “shows”

If she were actually dating a comedian she would have much more legitimate grips about them. Like we are gone on the road 3 weeks a month, we drink too much, she over heard a girls voice while you were talking to her, we are socially awkward, tend to be on the miserable side, etc.

My favorite part of this blog is that she posted this blog anonymously. Which is fine but in order to comment on her blog you need to be logged in as a member, which I am more than happy to do just to rebuff this stupid claim that she dated 2 comedians. Trust me, you will know when you date a comedian. Your stories will be way worse than those.

I recently made an appearance on sianet radio on their club house show. It is set to air July 29th. It was a really good show, very funny check it out at sianetradio.com

Steve Harvey went on Oprah to promote his new book on relationships. Big deal right. Wrong!!!

He specifically says during the interview that women should wait 90 days before having sex with their new man. What the fuck Steve! I don’t know whats going on in your life, but the reality of going on TV and cock blocking America pretty much sucks. If you feel that way…keep it to yourself. Now I know why I have never watched any of his shows.

Ladies I am not saying you gotta put out right away, but if your waiting 90 days because Steve Harvey told you to do that…well you have bigger things to worry about, like the fact that you are taking dating advice from STEVE FUCKING HARVEY.

I am a pretty angry driver, but I was surpassed the other day.

I stopped at the post office to mail an envelope of headshots. I got in my car and started to back out of the spot when this douche came flying through the parking lot and nearly hit me. I saw him coming and stopped, but not before he laid on his horn for a what seemed like an open mic set by Scott Brady…also known as an eternity. So I did the only thing I could, and that was pull up next to him while he was mailing his letter and flip him off. I drove off thinking “well I solved that problem”.

As I was pulling into my drive way I noticed this car riding my ass and realized it was the victim of my astonishinly attractive middle finger gesture. He followed me all the way home just to give me the finger back. This is what happens when unemployment is up. People have way too much time on their hands to follow me around and give me the finger. After he gave me the finger I stood there laughing and pointing at him. This pissed him off even more and he pretended that he was going to pull a gun out of his coat. I laughed even harder. The worst part of this is the guy was probably pushing 50 years old and should really have know better…my car alarm just went off as I was typing this. I gotta go!!!

I am returning to the upper part of Michigan this week with Kim Harrison.

Shannon Thompson will perform next month at the Potowami Casino in Milwaukee, Wis. The stunning two-tiered layout of The Northern Lights Theater at Potawatomi Bingo Casino—with booth and table seating on the first level and traditional theater seating above—means getting up close and personal with Vegas-caliber entertainment in a way you could only dream of in a casino theater.

As part of the Bonkerz Comedy Series, Shannon has appeared at Potowami a number ot times and slays audiences with each performance, in a room that makes you feel as though you could reach out and touch your favorite comedians. But no touching please. Add a world-class sound system and personal service that can’t be beat and you’ll agree—there’s not a bad seat in the house.
