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.
