The Best Pig?

I posted a New York Times article a week or so ago about Carl Edgar Blake and his quest to make the perfect pig.  He matched a Russian wild boar with a Chinese pig that he had read about on the interwebs - in 1821 King Wilhelm from Germany bred these two pigs and started winning contests with what was called a Swabian Hall pig.  Now Carl is winning awards all over the country with his Iowan Swabian Hall pig.  

Stephen Colbert holds an Iowan Swabian Hall piglet while eating prosciutto.  Hysterical.

I love it when the Saturday Night Live comedians can’t stop laughing during a skit…

SNL: THE CALIFORNIANS – DRESS REHEARSAL

SNL has just released the dress rehearsal for one of the most popular posts on SISFTI, the SNL skit “The Californians”. Every week, shortly before SNL goes live, they do a complete run-through of the show complete with a studio audience so they can get one last rehearsal in, and trim down the show to make sure it fits in the time allotted. As you can see, it doesn’t always go so smoothly, which makes it even more hilarious, fully.
