a channel 101 show wade and i made. it took 4 months and cost $2500 to produce. we got last place! which is a FIRST PLACE loser. thats what my grandma would say (probably). i think its just too smart and awesome for most people. or maybe people didnt wanna vote for it because i clearly hadnt showered for a few days when we shot this

I can’t take all the credit, but I’m a pretty big part of why Kelsy & Wade’s One Week is so breathtakingly amazing.

Scott Kennedy

daveholmes:

Scott Kennedy was talented, generous and brave. He made a point of performing for the troops from the very beginnings of the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, going on to do so more than 50 times. He was an out gay comedian in a time when it was not at all easy to be an out gay comedian. (And often in a place where it was not at all easy to be an out gay comedian, for example in Iraq and Afghanistan, or in front of the troops.)

He died last week. I keep checking all the gay-news websites for even a mention, but so far there’s nothing. (Towleroad does link to an article in which Trevor Donovan admits to sometimes eating dinner naked, though- be sure and check that out.) I keep looking at Foxnews.com and all the sites that fall all over themselves reminding you how pro-military and patriotic they are, but so far there’s nothing. (Breitbart does run several gloating op-eds about the Obama-looking devil in Mark Burnett’s “The Bible,” so by all means read each one.)

Scott Kennedy quietly did the right thing in about a dozen different ways. Now that he’s gone, let’s do the right thing and amplify his voice. Taylor Williamson has written a beautiful post here, and included links to some video. Read it. Share it. Then go hug the fuck out of somebody.

I was so sad to hear about the loss of comedian friend Scott Kennedy. He was one of the first comics I met when I moved to Los Angeles in 2004. Even though I was only 18 years old, and I’m sure I was immature and annoying, he never made me feel like I was at the little kids table…

A few weeks ago I paid a surprise visit to my favorite teacher ever: my fifth grade teacher Mrs. Marshall. It has been a LONG time since I was in fifth grade, but Mrs. Marshall - who is now in her 80’s and living in a nursing home - remembered me. “You lived right down the street!” she said, beaming at me. “My little blondie!” (She also compared me to this painting, but I swear there’s no relation.)

I was not a fan of elementary school. In fact, my sixth grade teacher, the sinister Mrs. Tolchinsky, screamed at me so regularly that I still get nauseous when I hear her name. But fifth grade was different. Mrs. Marshall was funny, fun, supportive, energetic to the brink of crazed, and knew how to make a painfully shy kid feel good about himself.

She was particularly encouraging when it came to my writing. Like the time I wrote the school play. Actually, it wasn’t so much a play as a series of six sketches based on field trips we had taken from kindergarten to fifth grade. Forgive the immodesty, but they all killed. The Visit-to-Southwick’s-Wild-Animal-Farm sketch did particularly well, due in no small part to this airtight exchange:

ZOO GUIDE
This bird is called a toucan.

CHILD
A who-can???

(Attention producers of Madagascar 4: I am available for punch up. Contact the Gersh Agency.)

When the play was over, Mrs. Marshall gave me a big hug and turned to my mother and said, “He’s so funny! He’s going to write for television one day.” Well, it turns out she was right. So I decided to visit her and make sure she wasn’t confusing me with the Mike Henry who writes on Family Guy (like 80% of my Twitter followers). Nope. She meant me. And she was thrilled to hear that her prediction came true. She didn’t even fault me for co-writing E!’s 25 Hottest Hollywood Cougar Tales (sorry, world).

Anyway, I wanted to post this to publicly thank Mrs. Marshall for always believing in the simple, quiet little Christ child from down the street.

Thanks, Mrs. Marshall!

Love, Mike
