ALL THE NEWZ - BEFORE IT HAPPENS
STAND-UP SERIES COMBINES COMEDY AND A CRYSTAL BALL
By MANDY STADTMILLER
Amy Sedaris
May 22, 2007 -- COMEDIAN Andy Borowitz doesn=E2=80=99t just make fun of the
news, he =E2=80=9Cpredicts=E2=80=9D it.
For example:
=E2=80=9CFormer White House intern Monica Lewinsky will toss her hat into t=
he
ring for the Democratic nomination for president. Ms. Lewinsky will
offer herself as an alternative to Hillary, saying, =E2=80=98It worked
before.=E2=80=99 =E2=80=9D
Sharing this kind of bold prediction as part of a live monthly stage
show called =E2=80=9CNext Week=E2=80=99s News=E2=80=9D - catch it this Thur=
sday at 8 p.m. at
Carolines on Broadway with special guest star Amy Sedaris (inset) -
Borowitz offers juicy fake headlines from the week ahead. He also
quizzes his guests to get their take on future events, as he did at
the last show with Arab-American comic Dean Obeidallah.
=E2=80=9CDean=E2=80=99s prediction was that Osama bin Laden was going to tr=
y to change
his image in the West by appearing on =E2=80=98Dancing With the Stars,=E2=
=80=99 =E2=80=9D
Borowitz says. =E2=80=9CThat actually turned out not to be true.=E2=80=9D
Logically assuming that Obeidallah would have roots with al Qaeda,
Borowitz recalls: =E2=80=9CI said that if he would tell me anything the Ara=
bs
were planning in the week ahead, I would also tell him how we Jews
were planning to use the media. So it was a fair exchange.=E2=80=9D
Borowitz is especially excited for this week=E2=80=99s show, which also
includes comics Todd Barry, Mike Birbiglia and Jon Fisch, because as
he says, =E2=80=9COne of the big stories is obviously going to be Memorial
Day. That is one thing that we=E2=80=99re positive is going to happen.=E2=
=80=9D
Sedaris, who=E2=80=99s become a best-selling author with her inspired
hospitality book =E2=80=9CI Like You,=E2=80=9D will be giving people tips on
entertaining while unashamedly wearing white shoes.
=E2=80=9CThere are too many rules about what you do for Memorial Day,=E2=80=
=9D
Borowitz explains. =E2=80=9CThere are probably a lot of people who are losi=
ng
sleep about that, so Amy=E2=80=99s going to be there for them.=E2=80=9D
Borowitz, whose long line of credits includes serving as creator of
=E2=80=9CThe Fresh Prince of Bel-Air,=E2=80=9D president of the Harvard Lam=
poon and
humor writer for The New Yorker, is working with his agents to turn
the show into a TV series. Why? Quite frankly, he says, there=E2=80=99s a
need.
=E2=80=9CWe now have =E2=80=98The Daily Show=E2=80=99 and =E2=80=98The Colb=
ert Report,=E2=80=99 so how do you
do fake news in a way that=E2=80=99s different than the way those guys are
doing it?=E2=80=9D he asks.
=E2=80=9CThe one obvious way that I could think of was, well, we=E2=80=99ll=
just
report what hasn=E2=80=99t happened yet.=E2=80=9D
Intriguingly enough, Borowitz=E2=80=99s satirical daily newsletter, The
Borowitz Report - which lays claim to half a million subscribers - has
actually correctly predicted the news before. Like when Geraldo Rivera
had to leave his embedded position in Iraq. Or when Donald Rumsfeld
was ousted as secretary of defense.
Borowitz=E2=80=99s joke about Rumsfeld had centered around President George
Bush asking for a =E2=80=9Cdo over=E2=80=9D on the election. The very next =
day,
Rumsfeld was out.
=E2=80=9CSomebody in the press raised his hand and said, =E2=80=98Um, you k=
now, so if
you could have a =E2=80=98do over=E2=80=99 . . . =E2=80=99 =E2=80=9D Borowi=
tz recalls. =E2=80=9CSo, either
that person was actually reading The Borowitz Report or I am
Nostradamus.=E2=80=9D
