Jeffrey Ross Dances Into Your Living Room This Fall
You might know him as the Roastmaster General, but we here at the Factory like to think of Jeffrey Ross as ole Twinkle Toes. The standup comedian appeared on this season’s Dancing With The Stars, which debuted this week. At least he still has a day job, which is about to expand to home entertainment. His Comedy Central special, No Offense: Live From New Jersey, is coming to CD and DVD on 10/14. Known as a “one-man verbal assault unit,” Ross takes on his audience before launching into the 2008 Presidential campaign, American Idol and reciting “love poems.” It contains 58 minutes of comedy goodness.
Suiting Up For Son Of The Beach
The Howard Stern-produced Bay Watch parody Son Of The Beach was an FX channel favorite that was cut down before its time. Those missing the deep wisdom of Timothy Stacks’ “Notch Johnson” can rejoice in knowing that Volume 2 is on its way to DVD, wrapping up the series’ final episodes. The 3-disc set includes loads of extras including outtakes, deleted scenes and commentaries, plus guest appearances by Hank the Angry Drunken Dwarf, Joey Buttafuoco, Jason Alexander, Bill Maher, Adam Carolla, David Arquette, C. Thomas Howell and more. Street date is 11/11. |
