Barring an unforeseen catastrophe/my impending jobless desperation, a couple of promos tossed off while sitting in the audience today were the last things that I will ever write for BU Tonight (theoretically, we were supposed to be finished today, but a heap of out-of-studio segments yet to be filmed means that the dream is still alive). What can I say. It's the best thing I've ever done.
The show, of course, is in wonderful hands for the future (among them, Internet friends Jeff Greco, Justin Hook, Jillian Jorgensen, Rob Turbovsky and, uh, Jeff Greco; and while we're here, let's not forget the dearly departed Greg White), and they should know that I plan on living vicariously through all of them with the help of Youtube clips, forwarded emails and anonymous monologue submissions.
Full episodes can be found here, and a whole mess of clips can be found here. For nostalgia's sake, here are a few I'm particularly proud of. I can't take all the credit for any of these, obviously, and I can't take any credit for some of them, but these are just some of my favorite things on the show.
