Neil Hamburger, TV personality - VIDEO

neil hamburgerIf you follow the "alternative comedy" scene, you've probably seen Neil Hamburger before. He's appeared on Tom Green's online talk show hosting "Poolside Chats," and has also popped up on Tim and Eric Awesome Show, Great Job!, not to mention a few episodes of Jimmy Kimmel Live on ABC and Red Eye on the FoxNews channel.

Hamburger is actual Gregg Turkington, a musician, actor and writer who has released a few "comedy" albums. He resembles a lounge performer who was mugged just prior to getting on stage, and his sets consist of lots of bad jokes peppered with uncontrollable coughing fits. That is, however, the point of his act. He's not so much a bad comedian as he is someone playing a bad comedian, and once you're in on the gag, it's quite entertaining.

Below I've placed a few videos to introduce you to America's Funnyman. He's actual on tour right now, so if you have a chance, you should go see him. Unless you don't like him, in which case you shouldn't spend money to see him perform. That's just common sense.

[Hat tip to the "A Special Thing" forums for the Red Eye clips]

My God even when they try to be funny, Fox News employees are just obnoxious.

"Do you believe the government is lying then".

Totally obnoxious. Sometimes I wonder what the real answer of a comedian would be if it weren't for the guest's politeness and their need to be on shows and therefor have to restrain themselves from getting out of line. So I have to ask myself: "Are comedians LYING when they anser BS questions on idiotic FOX-News shows?".

Man.
