MY MISTAKE!
Sorry, Human Giant will be on "Last Call with Carson Daly" tonight (Thursday, April 26th), I wrote that it was Wedneday below. My apologies. We had a good time at the taping today, and we even managed to work in a musical performance! If you can, rip it to YouTube and send us a link. Thanks! 2:45 AM-Permalink

Miscellaneous Updates...
Huebel on Conan, Human Giant on Last Call...
First off, big favor to ask - can someone please YouTube Huebel's appearance on Conan from 4/24 and also YouTube Rob, Paul, and myself on Last Call with Carson Daly on 4/25? Post a link in the comments, all of us would be very grateful.
The show is ALMOST, ALMOST done. Jason and our showrunner Tom have been literally sleeping in the offices day and night for months now trying to get edits done, but I think there is a light at the end of the tunnel. Thanks to everyone for the kind emails/MySpace/etc. Its awesome that people are finally seeing what we've been working so hard on.
I'm flying to LA in a bit to go to Coachella this weekend for Comedians of Comedy - come say hello! Should be a blast. I'll be back on Monday for Crash Test with some new HG videos in tow I hope. 3:45 AM-Permalink

Human Giant - Tonight at 10:30!
Tonights episode of "Human Giant" is one of my favorites. Patton Oswalt, Jay Johnston, Brian Posehn, and Jon Benjamin guest star. There's a sketch inspired by "Crank," a jam packed edition of "Let's Go" (tracksuit characters), "Catching a Predator," and more!
If our ratings don't show growth this week, the rest of the episodes of "Human Giant" will be replaced by an MTV News Special Report called "Human Giant" where Sway interviews WWE wrestler Paul "The Big Show" Wight. 2:44 PM-Permalink

Music Clearances
One thing that is expensive as all hell when making a TV show is music. If you'll notice, the version of "Shittiest Mixtape" on Human Giant was much different from the original (search on YouTube - sorry Viacom). The reason being clearing music is impossible! Apparently, Paula Cole, Gloria Estefan, and Crazytown have a problem being associated with a bit called the "Shittiest Mixtape." Meanwhile, good folks like OMC, Sixpence None the Richer, and the lady that sang "Total Eclipse of the Heart" have a fucking sense of humor and got a nice check! So ha!
Seriously, though clearing music is ridic. You know how on the original "Shutterbugs" we had sampled Tina Turner going - "Simply the best!" as I jumped into Huebel's arma? That sound bite cost $40,000! Cut to Aziz in the studio recording - "The Bugs are the best!"
We did get some cool music though, here are some MP3s from our show, and an awesome one from the Death Proof soundtrack:
April March - Chick Habit
(From Death Proof Soundtrack found via GVB)
The Black Lips - Not a Problem
(Used in HG Episode 1)
Paul Engemman - Push it to the Limit
(From Scarface but kinda used in a future HG short called "The Limit." The lyrics are so dumb, Patton gave us a great idea for it.)
The Kane Brothers - Spacelords (Theme)
(This is the theme song for the dudes pictured on the top left, these guys did the Illusionators theme for us too, they're awesome.) 1:05 PM-Permalink

I'm real psyched for next week's episode. Patton Oswalt, Brian Posehn, Jay Johnston, and Jon Benjmain all guest star. Its some of our favorite stuff, including the one that photo above is from and it even kicks off with a short inspired by the film "Crank."
On Monday, at Crash Test, I'll test screen some new stuff - including a new episode of "Shutterbugs"! Last Crash Test, we only had the trailer, but this time we should have the full thing and I think its great. Rob and Paul had to stay in LA but Arj Barker and Joe Mande will be performing and I'll host. Click here to make reservations.
Thanks,
