Dirty Work: Review

Unceasingly vulgar and sporadically funny, this revenge comedy rests heavily on the shoulders of former SNL wiseacre Norm Macdonald. Mitch and Sam (Macdonald and Artie Lange) have been best pals since they bonded in the face of childhood bullying: Sam was tubby and Mitch was a wussy smarty-pants. Now they're grown-up losers, Sam's horny old dad (Jack Warden) needs a heart transplant and his doctor (Chevy Chase), who's got a pack of bookies baying for his blood, promises that... read more leave a comment

Nothing puts a damper on your... | Today's News: Our Take | 10/19/2005
Nothing puts a damper on your workplace Halloween festivities quite like an imminent firing — although I do have a fun story about a woefully interrupted Chrismukkah luncheon I should probably save for another forum. It's a credit to this show that in the midst of all my chuckling over Dwight's costume and the unfortunately vacuumed-up party decorations, deep down I was pretty darn nervous about possibly losing one of these characters.

Howard Stern's Sidekick Mouths Off | Today's News: Our Take | 2/8/2005
Wise guy Artie Lange is on The Howard Stern Show every day, joking about hard drinking and heavy eating, because in Artie's world, nothing is ever done "light." The 37-year-old sidekick began his career as a Mad TV cast member and soon moved to movies (Dirty Work) and back to TV (ABC's Norm). But it's been with radio icon Howard Stern that Lange has hit his groove, providing his own "average guy" sensibility to the conversational mix. Lange's new DVD It's the Whiskey Talking (out today) documents his expletive-filled live act and proves that, even when the comic is flying solo, he's always got something intriguing to say.
