<title>Catching Up With The Guinea Pig Himself, A.J. Jacobs</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="jacobs.jpg" src="/fishbowlny/files/original/jacobs.jpg" width="425" height="562" />Last night, we stopped by Hurley&#8217;s near Times Square to celebrate <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/AJ-Jacob-profile.html">A.J. Jacob</a></strong>&#8216;s latest book, <i>The Guinea Pig Diaries: My Life as an Experiment</i>.</p>
<p>Though we arrived a bit too late to claim a free copy of Jacobs&#8217; autobiographical tome, we did manage to score a blow up of the book&#8217;s cover, which Jacobs graciously signed. (And if you can&#8217;t read the inscription, it advises us to carry the poster &#8212; which is almost as tall as we are &#8212; around everywhere.)</p>
<p>We also managed to get Jacobs to open up about his next project. After conquering the mind, when he read the entire <i>Encyclopedia Britannica</i> front to back in <i>The Know-It-All</i>, and the soul &#8212; with his book <i>The Year of Living Biblically</i> &#8212; Jacobs said he is now ready to conquer the body.</p>
<p>&#8220;I have a trainer and I&#8217;ve been trying to eat healthy,&#8221; Jacobs told us. &#8220;I&#8217;ve been drinking goat&#8217;s milk because some people say that&#8217;s good for you.&#8221;</p>
<p>Jacobs also told us about these special shoes he&#8217;s been wearing that fit like a glove around the feet, &#8220;because some people believe you shouldn&#8217;t wear shoes.&#8221;</p>
<p>We can&#8217;t wait to read how that turns out.</p>
<p>In addition to Jacobs, we also chatted with <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Mediaitecom-profile.html">Mediaite.com</a></strong>&#8216;s <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Rachel-Sklar-profile.html">Rachel Sklar</a></strong>, Emmy-nominated &#8220;Daily Show&#8221; writer <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Kevin-Bleyer-profile.html">Kevin Bleyer</a></strong> and <a href="http://twitterwit.net/"><i>Twitter Wit</i></a> author <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Nick-Douglas-profile.html">Nick Douglas</a></strong>. We also made sure to say hello to Jacobs&#8217; son Jasper and wife Julie, who wrote a rebuttal chapter in <i>Guinea Pig Diaries</i> and was celebrating her ninth anniversary with A.J. last night. Congratulations all around!</p>

<title>America&#8217;s Funniest Writers Talk Politics</title>
<description><![CDATA[<p><img alt="abrambrigade.jpg" src="/fishbowlny/files/original/abrambrigade.jpg" width="272" height="204" class="alignleft" vspace="3" hspace="7" />Does <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Dan-Abrams-profile.html">Dan Abrams</a></strong> have a future in comedy?  Based on his very fun moderating skills during a panel of comedy writers at the Upright Citizens Brigade Theater on Monday night it&#8217;s certainly not out of the question.  <a href="http://www.236.com/">23/6.com</a> (one of our favorites) hosted the packed event &#8220;Pencils Down: America&#8217;s Funniest Writers Talk Politics,&#8221; in which comedy writers from <i>The Daily Show</i>, <i>The Onion</i>, and 23/6 discussed the ever-growing role comedy shows have been playing in this year&#8217;s election.  Participants included <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Dennis-DiClaudio-profile.html">Dennis DiClaudio</a></strong> (Indecision2008.com), <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Kevin-Bleyer-profile.html">Kevin Bleyer</a></strong> (<i>The Daily Show</i>), <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Baratunde-Thurston-profile.html">Baratunde Thurston</a></strong> (<i>The Onion</i>), <strong><a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/Jason-Reich-profile.html">Jason Reich</a></strong> (236.com).  Did you know that <i>The Onion</i> has a fact-checking department!</p>
<p>After the panel Abrams <a href="http://www.mediabistro.com/tvnewser/politics/dork_abrams_hosts_cool_kids_comedy_writers_98128.asp">spoke to</a> TVNewser: &#8220;The election has never before been seen through the prism of comedians, there&#8217;s a deep sense the news media is sort of saying, &#8216;My big brother can play great baseball.&#8217;&#8221;</p>
