Mike B stirs up trouble… :)

–PROFANITY and SPOILER ALERT–

So we saw a Mike Birbiglia show last night (on TV) from a gig he did in Brooklyn (Thank God for Jokes) – very funny. In it, he references his stint as the emcee for The Gotham Awards and how he ended up reading VERBATIM this rant from David O’Russell’s recorded ‘attack’ on Lily Tomlin while filming I Heart Huckabees.  David O’Russell was directing that film at the time of the rant several years ago, and was now getting a lifetime achievement award at these same awards where Mike B was the emcee – boom!

Here’s a couple articles about MB’s emcee event:

David O. Russell’s Lily Tomlin Rant Came Back to Haunt Him at the Gotham Awards

Oh, Russell Roasted!

Definitely a funny comedy show, have always like Mike B (you’ll have to watch his show to see the bit), here’s the original video rant MB’s referring to:
