comedians, TV and the 1 percent

N.O. favorite Sarah Silverman was on both Marc Maron's and Louis CK's season openers. Josh Brenner returns in Maron's second season according to the previews for next week. He was in The Internship with Vince Vaughn and Owen Wilson and plays Big Head on Silicon Valley.

Louie's first episode had him subbing for Jerry Seinfeld's opener at a private benefit gig for heart disease research attended by billionaires and "trillionaires" in the Hamptons. It reminded me of the video below from Alice in Chains. Louie's bit about chickens was about how they are stupid and don't revolt. Kind of like the masses, I thought. Was that the subtext? He jokingly asked if the benefit was a "soul cleaning."
