Hottie of the week....

For all you out there who requre a good sense of humor in a male partner I've got the guy for you: Demetri Martin. His name might set off a sense of recognition in the back of your brain if you've been flipping through the channels lately and seen a commercial for his brand new show on Comedy Central called Important Things with Demetri Martin. I stumbled across a preview for his show while watching Southpark a few weeks ago and then saw a link referring to him on my homepage which led me to Youtube where I found a 14 minute clip of one of his standup routines and nearly wet my pants while watching it. Similar to Stephen Lynch, Martin incorporates guitar and props for his comedy but that's where the similarity ends. Martin has the most astute powers of observation I've ever seen and the random stuff he comes up will have you hunched over with a stomach ache from laughing. Formerly a writer and guest star on Conan O'Brien, and a guest star on the final episode of Flight of the Conchords first season he's finally landed his own half hour show each Wednesday on Comedy Central at 10:30PM. Each show focuses on one main theme, so far he's done a show about power, lines, chairs, and safety and each time he uses different skits, sketches, and jokes to illustrate the random things he picks up on, for instance, he draws a coffee mug and then talks about how lines can really make all the difference so he draws three lines above the mug and suddenly it's a steaming hot cup of coffee, then he adds three parrallel lines to the side of the mug and suddenly it's a steaming hot cup of coffee careening off the page. Martin is totally original and creative and if random humor is your type of funny, he's your guy! I give him a 26 as our hottie of the week!

Physical Fitness 6/10: He's definitely cute and we see him in a toga as Demetrecles in one of his regular sketches and while he may be on the skinny side it totally works for him!

Mental Stimulation: 12/10: To be a writer on Conan you pretty much have to be a comedic genius, and he did go to Yale on a full ride law school scholarship before deciding to quit a year early and follow his dreams of a career in comedy.

Body of Work 8/10: He doesn't have a lot to his credit but his guest apperances on The Daily Show, Colbert Report, Conan, and a show for the BBC have landed him this gig at Comedy Central so hopefully it's just the beginning!

Here's a link to the Youtube clip, give it a chance and then try out his show on Wednesday!
