Rocko Diggs Digg

Carlos Alazraqui, the man behind the voice of Rocko (Rocko’s Modern Life) and the face behind the moustache of Reno 911!’s Deputy James Oswaldo Garcia, diggs Digg. During recent appearance at Cobbs Comedy Club in San Francisco (December 12 & 13, 2008), Carlos was wearing green Digg t-shirt.

In November 2008, an article titled “The Faces Behind TV’s Cartoon Voices” made Digg front page. Comments like this one and this one show how popular Rocko was. Add Reno 911!’s James Garcia, Family Guy’s Mr Weed, and the Taco Bell Chihuahua to Carlos Alazraqui’s resume, he is a legend.

Rocko is giving the love back to Digg!

Special thanks to Laura for taking the pictures and Carlos for the permission.

December, Slow Tech, Huge Comedy Month

Here we are at the last month of 2008. It has been an interesting year for the tech industry. Google has finally released its first operating system; for mobile phone. Apple is going full speed ahead with the iPhone 3G, and the rest of industry trying to match it up. Microsoft is finally responding to Apple’s “Get A Mac” ads, by admitting that all that Apple has been poking fun at are true. Yahoo! is looking down a barrel of a gun playing Russian Roullette, “Buy me still, buy me not.”

Let’s see what else went on in 2008 so far. Obama successfully utilized the Technology (read: Internet) in the Presidential Campaign. The Stock Market took a nose-dive. Metallica released “Death Magnetic” in September. Axl’s Guns N’ Roses “Chinese Democracy” is actually released. Wall-E is AWESOME! BlackBerry Storm is unlike any other BlackBerries, it is more iPhone-like with a twist. AVCHD camcorders are gaining ground. Apple ditched FireWire on its new Unibody Aluminum MacBook. Futurama goes High-Def with “Bender’s Game” Blu-Ray.

OK, I’ll add whatever above later.

The point is that that December is usually a slow month for Technology. So I’m focusing on some other things such as the Holiday and Comedy.

The three comedians I’m working with will be having some big shows in December.

Jill-Michele Meleán is having her JillyOnline.com show at the Hollywood Improv on December 9th, 2008.

Darren Carter will be performing in Sacaramento, California and Milwaukee, Wisconsin this December. Check his Web-Site or Blog for dates.

Carlos Alazraqui will be storming Cobbs Comedy Club December 12th and 13th. The week before Christmas, Carlos will be doing huge shows at Hollywood Improv. Mark your Calendar, December 19th and 20th, 2008.

Reno 911! Might Return for The Sixth Season

Comedy Central and Reno 911! creators are reportedly talking about renewing the show for the sixth season. There has not been any official confirmations from both camps at this point.

I talked to Carlos Alazraqui on Saturday night at ACME Comedy Theatre, and he confirmed that indeed the show MIGHT BE picked up for the sixth season by Comedy Central. Then Alazraqui added, “You would know it before I do, that’s how it usually goes.”

The Reno 911! Season Five DVD was released within a week after the season finale episode first aired on July 10th, 2008.

Currently, Carlos Alazraqui and Cedric Yarbrough are doing College Comedy Tour across The United States.

Cedric Yarbrough attended The Boondock‘s creator Aaron McGruder‘s wedding in Laguna Beach, California on Saturday August 23rd, 2008 (if the location was 100% correct).
