Jim Breuer's Let's Clear the Air tonight on Comedy Central
Jim Breuer has a fight ahead of him. The title of his latest special, Let's Clear the Air (Comedy Central, tonight, 11PM), is a nod to his current place in the public's perception as the stoner from Half Baked. You can throw in a bit of Goat Boy from SNL, and you have the cage Breuer has built for himself, the one he's trying to break out of to change his image. Breuer would like to be known more as a family comic now, and Let's Clear the Air is his first attempt at that.

Apparently, New York was (is?)
experiencing some peculiar weather on these first few days of Spring. "If you see the groundhog today, y'punch him
in the face for me," Jon ordered. That Punxsutawney Phil is a lying bastard. Jon then did a few jokes to reference
something that happened during the pre-show warm-up. An audience member brought Jon some wine as a gift, but it left
Jon concerned. "Should wine be carbonated?" Well, it doesn't really matter... If it has a fancy name, drink
it.Bob Saget gets dirty
When Bob Saget came into the mainstream via hit shows like Full House and America's Funniest Home Videos he was slammed as being the poster boy for bland, safe humor, personifying the kind of man you could invite to dinner at grandma's house and not worry he might offend her. Some of us, however, knew better. We knew him from his earlier stand-up days when his act was so vulgar, so subversive, that watching it in the wake of a Full House marathon was like watching Jesus himself suddenly pull off his mask to reveal that, yes, he was in fact Satan. Nowadays Saget is getting some notoriety for doing what he always did best, appearing in decidedly "non-Full House" roles in movies and TV, including Entourage and Half Baked. Now that Full House, or as I like to call it, "Bob Saget's eight-year vacation from himself" is behind him, it's time we all got to know the real Bob.
