Wanda Sykes' star is on the rise

I wasn't a big fan of Sykes until I saw this clip of her on Jay Leno last fall, discussing the Wall Street bailout. I especially loved her line about oversight.

She seems to be on a roll now, and dealing with one of the tougher challenges comics are facing these days.

(April) Fools for love

April 1st kicks off National Humor Month, National Poetry Month, and International Guitar Month, so what better way to celebrate than with this video of Sarah Silverman, playing guitar and singing a song that, while it may not be poetry exactly, has a lot of rhyming words in it. It's dedicated to her now ex-boyfriend, Jimmy Kimmel, which makes the fact that April is also Couple Appreciation Month a little bittersweet. (More April "holidays" here.)

I'm generally not a big fan of Silverman's, but this was probably my favorite video of 2008. Of course, it's not so much because of her as because of... Oops! Don't want to give away the surprise...:)

The clip went pretty viral last year so, if you've already seen it... admit it, you want to see it again. But if you somehow missed it, here's your chance to add one more pop-culture reference to your collection. (I do recommend not drinking anything that could come shooting out of your nose.)

WARNING: Not Suitable for Work!

And you can't really watch Sarah's video, without seeing Jimmy's response to it.
