Sometimes I read Sleater-Kinney guitarist Carrie Brownstein’s music blog, Monitor Mix.
This week she interviewed Laura Krafft, a writer for The Colbert Report. While the interview is entertaining and hilarious and all that (how could an interview NOT be hilarious with a Colbert Report writer? I don’t even want to know) the best part was in the latter half of the interview where Krafft states: “My favorite comedy show, hands down, is America’s Funniest Home Videos.”
I LOVE America’s Funniest Home Videos. It throws me immediately into a giggle fit that doesn’t cease until the commercial break or until Bob Saget starts talking. And although I can’t remember any particular incident, I know I’ve been ridiculed for that particular penchant of mine many times over. It was just nice to read that another person on earth is of the same opinion, and that she also happens to be an intelligent, witty writer who works with Mr. Noblet. I am not alone.
