Talking Funny: A Comedy Special on HBO

Pull up your calendars for April 22nd and type this in: Talking Funny premieres on HBO East at 8 p.m. CT and HBO West at 11 p.m. CT. On Demand starts on 4/25. Do it now. I'll wait.

Jerry Seinfeld
Chris Rock
Ricky Gervais
Louis C.K.

That is all I personally need to know. For others who do not yet share my enthusiasm, here is the HBO synopsis:

How does a simple idea end up becoming a signature joke? Why do some comics embrace profanity while others avoid it? Do audiences really matter? In this one-hour HBO special, four stand-up legends--Jerry Seinfeld, Chris Rock, Ricky Gervais and Louis C.K.--answer these questions and more as they let their guards down in an intimate, unscripted conversation about what it means to be a comedian, and how far each has been willing to go to push the limits of taste and originality for a laugh.
