The Daily Show has long been a proving ground for some of the best talent in comedy to exhibit their skills. Stephen Colbert earned a show of his own from his work in the correspondent position. Ed Helms and Steve Carrell have become bonafide leading men both on television and in film, and Brian Unger, well, we don’t talk about Brian Unger. And that list could very well soon include the bearded Wyatt Cenac.
With tonight’s game being the first truly serious affair for the Hawks thus far in their series with the Wild, it seems only fitting that some serious riffery accompany it, which is why Dinosaur Jr.’s salt-and-pepper bearded J. Mascis gets the call.

With the way the NHL has made an ass of itself pretty much across the board since about 5:00PM yesterday, a little caustic humor seems to be in order. And it is with that Marc Maron is presented this Monday morning.
With the series now shifting setting to the Twin Cities, the Wild were essentially facing a must-win situation, and decided to change things up a bit from their neutral zone bomb shelter strategy that yielded no results on West Madison.
Even with the Hawks drawing the first marker on a beautiful feed from Patrick Kane to Johnny Oduya right after a Hawks kill, the Wild pressed on. Coach Mike Yeo made no secret about wanting to ratchet up the physicality and make life unpleasant for Hawk defenders, and did just that, sending wave of cannonballing forwards into the Hawk zone.
There are few, if any, more decorated or revered children’s authors in recent vintage than the venerable Maurice Sendak. But aside from his actual work in print, Sendak had a lengthy career in producing performances on stage, in film, and on television for children as well.
He’s got the ponytail, I’ve got the rabbit ears. He’s fly and I’m fly, that’s why they call us…
This crossroad lies before us now, and the world watches our every move. While we choose which way to go, we still have so much left to lose.
But there’s a change coming on, we gotta right these fucking wrongs. They can cover their ears, but we won’t stop screaming.
These obvious manipulations, predicated on the basis of morals. The unseen eyes, so careless in their calculations, forever washing the blood from their hands with an appetite insatiable.

In the two days since the Hawks came out flat, taking far longer to dispatch the Wild than many were expecting or would have liked, the Blues and Penguins have already won the Stanley Cup a couple of times over, so tonight’s Game 2 between the Hawks and Wild is more than likely an exercise in futility. But in spite of all of that, the two teams are going to play anyway.
