(S01E07) Along with Mary Tyler Moore and Amy Sedaris, I've always had a crush on Janeane Garofalo. I remember being happy when this episode came on, since I had loved her standup and her work on The Ben Stiller Show (with Andy Dick). She plays Nancy, Dave's ex-girlfriend who seems nice on the outside but is really kind of a nut. She comes to New York City to be with Dave, who never quite told her that they were officially broken up.

Meanwhile, Jimmy meets a business and technology "visionary" named Tom at a conference and arranges for him to be interviewed by Bill, but that doesn't turn out quite as Jimmy or Dave had hoped...

Amazon.com has shown a few snippets here and there, but now the official launch of Bill Maher's talk show, Fishbowl, will be tomorrow morning. Each show will be 30 minutes long, and Maher will interview various celebrities and other people of note, including The Dixie Chicks, Ludacris, Dean Koontz, and Stephen King.

It's funny because Bill Maher was on The Late Show With David Letterman recently and said he's really not that computer literate and doesn't know exactly what people will get or what they need to see it. But he has started using e-mail a lot.

Maher's Real Time will return with new eps on August 25. You can catch podcasts and other stuff at the HBO web site.
