Dear Seth Rogen

I was at The Hollywood Improv on Sunday night, thinking, “Where oh where is Seth Rogen?” Being a very big show, I knew that you would want to be there for support. Naturally, my mind started racing… Is he injured? Sick? Mugged? Did he convert to Catholicism and decide to keep holy the Sabbath?

Then, I saw Robin Williams arrive and I quickly realized that you must have sent him in your place to see me. I actually had no idea that the two of you were such good friends. And of course, I now realize that you didn’t join Robin on Sunday night because you knew that two mega superstars at the Improv would have created an uproar that could have debilitated the show. You are always looking out for others, Seth Rogen.

As if we didn’t have enough in common, Sunday’s show gave us another similarity. You see, Robin Williams showed up unannounced and he went up just before me. Do you remember (in the hit film, “Funny People”) when Adam Sandler showed up unannounced and performed just before you? He then helped your career by paying you to write his jokes. Well, this was just like “Funny People,” except without the joke writing, the career making, or the terminal illness plot that conveniently solved itself.

The whole experience was exhilarating, Seth Rogen! Did you know that I would do so well, despite performing after a comedy icon? Obviously you knew I would or you wouldn’t have sent him, L.O.L. Do you think it is more difficult for a comedian to follow Robin Williams or a musician to follow Billy Joel?

Speaking of Billy Joel, any word on whether he’s going to make it out for Thanksgiving?

Until then…
