You might enjoy Michael Ian Black from “The State,” or “Stella,” or the “I Love the…” shows, or “Ed,” or “Wet Hot American Summer” or something else. But now you can love him in a whole new way: as the editor-at-large of Cracked:


mediabistro:
How do you differentiate Cracked from Mad?
Black: The Cracked of old was very much like Mad: lots of dumb jokes aimed at 12-year-old boys. The new Cracked is a lot more grown-up. Dumb jokes aimed at 25-year-old boys.
mediabistro:What does an “editor-at-large” do?
Black: I’m a lot like the Queen of England. It’s basically a figurehead position. I get to go to all the Cracked polo matches and balls, but I have no actual power. I’m also like the Queen of England insofar as I wear a tiara and carry a scepter.
