1) Our 2011 Emmys Summary: Modern Family is the Emmy’s favorite comedy, Louis C.K. didn’t win anything, The Big Bang Theory did win something, Outstanding Guest Actor in A Comedy Series is an award, despite moving to TBS, Conan loses out to NBC again, and we still think awards shows shouldn’t be televised.

2) Kumail Nanjiani, Gears of War 3, Barbara Kingsolver, and a “Make A Wish” Kid can only make for a hilarious Funny or Die sketch.

3) Patton Oswalt’s Finest Hour is available for purchase or download tomorrow!

4) The Midnight Show debunks the myths of twins in ads.

5) Who wants to fund an animated horror short starring Paul F. Tompkins? 

6) Louis C.K. is in the A.V. Club again today in what inevitably be quoted on Tumblr then reblogged throughout the entire blogosphere including right here, which doesn’t bother us in the slightest

7) Oh we forgot regarding the 2011 Emmy Awards: Jimmy Fallon’s angry clap deserves its own statue. Forget an emmy; it needs a life size one.

2) Elizabeth Laime’s Totally Laime’s wins the Earwolf Podcast Challenge and will join the Earwolf family.

3) Roseanne has “Tracy Morgan-like” appearance on Conan.

4) The ACME Comedy Theatre has announced that will have an open mic starting on Sept. 27th. More details to come.

5) Speaking of Conan (again), don’t miss out on the Sklar Brothers performing tonight (TBS 11PM) or to pick up their fantastic album “Hendersons & Daughters”.

6) Connected Comedy gathered late night debuts of stand-ups on the Tonight Show with Johnny Carson. We think you should take a minute or an hour and check it out.

7) Congratulations are also in order for the web series, Runyon: Just Above Sunset, starring Eddie Pepitone, directed by Troy Conrad, taking Best in Show at the Burbank Film Festival Shorts Contest.
