The Sensitive Side of Darren Carter

I went to see Darren Carter on Saturday Night at Laugh Factory in Long Beach. After the show we headed to Boston’s The Gourmet Pizza for what else? Pizza. We were talking about number of topics and one of them was about the passing of John Travolta’s son. I knew that Darren worked with John Travolta in “Be Cool” movie.

I just read a nice post on Darren’s WordPress Blog about John Travolta as a father and a person. Forget about ideology and personal belief for a moment, it is always a tragedy for parents to lose any of their children. Well said, Darren.

Carlos Alazraqui: Taco Bell Dog Voice

A short test clip from Carlos Alazraqui’s performance at The Hollywood Improv. Recorded November 19th, 2008.

Carlos is wearing a Green Digg T-Shirt. On Saturday night show, Carlos was also wearing the same T-Shirt because we’re taping all the shows and going to put them together. Lala from Tiki Bar TV came up to Carlos and talk about Digg and its founder Kevin Rose who Lala is a close friend with.

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!
