Guy is hilarious. Genius. I saw him for the first time a year or so ago on Conan O'Brien. Haven't seen him since then, but his bit was hilarious. Can't even remember anything he said now.

He has a website, which kinda sucks, but yeah:

http://www.demetrimartin.com/

He'll be on Carson Daly this Friday guys, so watch him.

Just read his 5 entry Weekblog, it was a one time thing about a year ago. I found him rather funny:

And check this out, a poem he wrote, which is a palindrome:


"Dammit I'm Mad"

by

Demetri Martin

Dammit I'm mad.
Evil is a deed as I live.
God, am I reviled? I rise, my bed on a sun, I melt.
To be not one man emanating is sad. I piss.
Alas, it is so late. Who stops to help?
Man, it is hot. I'm in it. I tell.
I am not a devil. I level "Mad Dog".
Ah, say burning is, as a deified gulp,
In my halo of a mired rum tin.
I erase many men. Oh, to be man, a sin.
Is evil in a clam? In a trap?
No. It is open. On it I was stuck.
Rats peed on hope. Elsewhere dips a web.
Be still if I fill its ebb.
Ew, a spider… eh?
We sleep. Oh no!
Deep, stark cuts saw it in one position.
Part animal, can I live? Sin is a name.
Both, one… my names are in it.
Murder? I'm a fool.
A hymn I plug, deified as a sign in ruby ash,
A Goddam level I lived at.
On mail let it in. I'm it.
Oh, sit in ample hot spots. Oh wet!
A loss it is alas (sip). I'd assign it a name.
Name not one bottle minus an ode by me:
"Sir, I deliver. I'm a dog"
Evil is a deed as I live.
Dammit I'm mad.


Now a palindrome is something that is the same forward and backwards. Radar for example. That poem is a palindrome! Start from the last letter of the last word and go from right to left, reading it backwards. That's f'n amazing to me.

I remember you pushing for Jay London on Last Comic Standing so your taste for comedians is already questionable. :p
I'll check it out.
