Break Room Live is the best. If you're not watching it, you're missing the two best Air America personalities of all time.

4. That show is altering reality somehow. A New Thing.
I don't understand it. But I can feel it.

5. Oh my God, he nailed it. Repugs actually believe that shit.
I had a long, drawn-out conversation with a conservative friend of mine the other day. Take away the tongue-in-cheek and that's what they believe. Seriously. There are some hopeless cases out there. Lawton isn't just riffing on them, he's hearing them loud and clear.

PS: Sure miss Morning Sedition - the best morning show in history, bar none.

8. Lawton is Kent Jones.
Hope I'm not spoiling anything. I don't know who that is in the picture.

From Wikipedia:

Kent Jones
<snip>
A Missouri native, Kent moved to New York in 1986 and held a variety of journalism jobs working at InStyle and People and contributing freelance humor articles to various publications. In 1996, he discovered the 'far more legitimate field of fake news' at The Daily Show on Comedy Central, where he was a writer for five years. In 2000, Kent and his fellow writers won the Emmy Award for Outstanding Writing for a Comedy, Variety or Special, as well as the Peabody Award for Excellence in Broadcasting. Kent then moved to Los Angeles and worked as a producer on shows at Oxygen and ABC<1>

In 2004 Kent moved back to New York to become part of the launch of Air America Radio. He wrote for Unfiltered with Lizz Winstead, Chuck D and Rachel Maddow where he delivered the "Unfiltered News." He also wrote extensively for Morning Sedition where he performed several characters including Foreign Correspondent Angus McFarquhar, Bill from Harlem and, most frequently, Planet Bush Bureau Chief Lawton Smalls. After the cancellation of Morning Sedition in December 2005, Kent continued to write and perform on The Marc Maron Show until its cancellation in July 2006. He most recently appeared on The Rachel Maddow Show, with daily Sports and "Kent Jones Now" segments and additional co-hosting, especially during her "Ask Dr. Maddow" and "Pet Story" segments. The Lawton Smalls character still makes "calls" to The Sam Seder Show and was on the Nov 7th 2006 live webcam election coverage with Rachel Maddow.

Kent left Air America on Friday, December 14th, 2007, as a result of a "business decision" by the management.

He is now a regular contributor to "The Rachel Maddow Show" on MSNBC. His segment "Just Enough" airs during the last two minutes of the show and focuses on pop culture news.

There's also a theater critic and a golfer with that name.

9. Their podcasts are free on iTunes! search "Maron" in the corner.
The AAR audio and the Breakroom videos are separate podcasts, but they're both free. :woohoo:
