A Reality Check From Doug Benson

Doug Benson is a comedian who has appeared on Comedy Central Presents, Mr. Show, and Best Week Ever. He appeared on last season's Last Comic Standing. Benson was part of the writing team that created & performed in The Marijuana Logues. He is currently working on the film project Super High Me.

RC: The new season of "Last Comic Standing" is auditioning now in NYC. What happened last season? I thought for SURE you were going to have no problem going far.

DB: I thought the same thing. Maybe I was too cocky.

RC: "Best Week Ever" seems like such a great show to work on! How were you approached to join the cast?

DB: I wrote some jokes for a VH1 talking heads countdown thingy that was hosted by Sarah Silverman. I said to the producer of that show that I'd like to be a tv talking head. So she used me in THE 100 HOTTEST HOTTIES and a few other shows. Then my agent got me an audition for BEST WEEK EVER and I've been doing it ever since.

RC: I see you have a new comedy cd out. What else is in the works for you? Touring?

DB: To find out about all things me, go to my myspace page and send me a friend request. Then I'll let you know when I'm coming to your town.

In Case You Care...

Krishtine won the coveted position of contributing editor for Rolling Stone on MTV's "I'm With Rolling Stone". To tell the truth, I watched the first two episodes and then could never figure out when the hell it was on. It aired late at night or random times during the day & my DVR couldn't seem to figure out when the first-run episodes would air. So I missed the whole season. But kudos to MTV for once again offering an awesome opportunity to a bunch of people who can't get it together. I guess of all those people, Krishtine got it together the most ... I GUESS.
