Yep, Bob Saget is bringing his X-rated stand-up to Barton Hall on the Cornell campus. My intern Brian Kravitz recently spoke with Bob, and I’m pleased to post the transcript of their interview here. For the record, it’s hilarious (I literally LOL’ed at least 15 times). It’s long but worth it, especially if you’re interested […]

So keep checking back here every week for new photos. This is from the Girl Talk show last Saturday, although it […]
