Even if you've been working in the comedy world for a long, long time, having your first nationally televised stand-up special must be kind of ... stressful. The 'Broken Lizard' sketch comedy troupe has been together since they met as college students in 1990. Since then, they've released many films -- including 'Super Troopers' and 'Beerfest.' But 'Broken Lizard: Stands Up' (Sat., 12AM ET on Comedy Central) is their first TV special.

Poor airplane phone reception.
