Actor Gordon Pinsent Reads from the Memoirs of Justin Bieber

loved it!

does anyone remember a stand-up comedy show on tv - within the last 10 years or so - where different celebrities would read from various bios. i've been looking for them online but i can't remember what the show was called and all my searches have come to naught. if anyone knows what the heck i'm talking about...can you help me out? thanks...i hope.

Reminds me of Shatner doing Palin, or Walken doing Lady Gaga's Poker Face.

@themonkey -- you could search for "shatner palin" on YouTube and see if what you're looking for comes up as a related thing...

I didn't realise that laughter tracks were still being used in the 21st century. This is a particularly badly timed one!

@themonkey -- CBS Sunday Morning ran a story about that recently. Maybe it's on their website.

@themonkey that's a section on "The big Fat Quiz of the Year" on channel 4, an annual comedy quiz. They had the wonderful John Hurt reading excerpts from terrible "celebrity" memoirs one year.

An example:

@ShuggyShugs...thank you! those were great - and that's EXACTLY the kind of thing i'm talking about.

when i was watching the clips you hooked me up with, which were great - again, thanks! - but i did watch Christopher Walken's reading of 'Poker Face' 3x. Shatner and Walken are both hilarious.

the only comedian whose name i remember from the show i'm looking for, is one of my faves, David Cross...but it's not the GoodP***y video. although that's really funny. as i remember, it was just a short segment near the end of the show. the comedian would be onstage with just a mic and a stool and they'd read from celebrity biographies. i remember someone reading Leona Helmsley's bio. any additional info or search words/phrase suggestions would be appreciated.

again, ShuggyShugs, thanks so much for taking the time to hook me up. much appreciation.

sorry for the long post - but i must find that show and this seems like my best shot.

This vid's certainly been making the rounds. :)

@ShuggyShugs...i posted a thank you message to you for leading me to the hilarious Shatner & Walken vids - but it's being reviewed for something so isn't showing up yet.

@cuimhne...thank you too for the link. it's leading me to other similar vids. i appreciate your help.

@Palimpsest36...thank you too. through that link i was able to finally find what i was looking for...CelebrityAutobiography.com. they are now doing these readings on stage - mostly in NY. however, there are oodles of videos of them on YouTube under the same name as the website. i can't wait to dig in and watch all of them...finally.

thanks to everyone that helped me out - i sincerely appreciate it.

Oh yes, the girls...and the cheese, I love grilled cheese but nothing tops the girl cheese!

One time, Mark & Brian (L.A. morning radio show) had Patrick Stewart read the lyrics to a rap song, and he managed to make it sound like Shakespeare!
