Good day, visitors to ChristianFinnegan.com. It’s been far too long, I know!

I just wanted to drop you a quick note to inform/remind you that I am in the cast of the new TBS sitcom “ARE WE THERE YET?”, debuting on TBS at 9pm EST. Check it out, yo: http://www.tbs.com/shows/arewethereyet/

It would be swell if you’d tune in and watch. It’s a fine show that’s fun for the whole family (no, seriously) and I feel honored to be associated with such talented, hardworking people.

Full disclosure: I’m only in one scene in the first episode or two, but I’m all over later episodes. DID SOMEONE SAY DVR SEASON PASS??

No really, did someone just say that? I think I’m hearing voices.

Anyway, tune into ARE WE THERE YET?, Wednesday nights at 9pm on TBS!

Sincerely,

Christian Finnegan
America’s White Guy

P.S. See me perform live in NYC June 17 - 19 at Comix (www.comixny.com) & save $5 with the code FINNY. After that, look for me in Tampa, FL!

So you’re still on the fence about whether to pick up “Au Contraire!”. Well, from now until Tuesday you can download an audio track from the CD for free. That’s right, FREE. As in, NO MONEY WHATSOEVER!

But this free download is only available until Tuesday, so quick like a bunny, go here and feast your ears on “High Five Yourself”.

And while you’re there, why not submit a positive review of said free download? It’ll make you feel super cool.

People,

The time of reckoning is nigh at hand! After months and months of constant chatter and horsepoop from me about my “new DVD”, I’m happy to say that “Au Contraire” finally hits stores today May 12, 2009. Go see for yourself! Or if you’re some sort of shut-in who stores your urine in jars, you can order it online right here!

So now’s your chance, people. Please don’t make me go back to hooking.

My one hour comedy special, “Au Contraire!”, debuts on Comedy Central tonight at 11pm est.

Man it feels good to type that. It also makes me feel like I might crap my pants. But mostly, it feels good.

I’m not going to waste a bunch of your time here. Please tune in. It’s not just that I think you’ll enjoy the special (you will!), it’s just that…well…

Look I promised the police I wouldn’t talk about this, but Comedy Central has kidnapped my five year old son. It’s true. They tell me that unless “Au Contraire!” gets at least a .8 Neilson rating, I will never see little Timothy again. Those people are heartless bastards and they mean business! I see no other option but to play ball, so I’m asking…nay, BEGGING you to tune into Comedy Central tonight at 11pm EST. Barring that, you can set your DVR recording devices. Please, people–Timothy doesn’t have his inhaler. HOW LONG CAN HE POSSIBLY SURVIVE????

If for some reason you care nothing about my dear son’s life, you can still pre-order the full “Au Contraire!” DVD on Amazon. It comes out this Tuesday, May 12th. It’s 33% longer than what will air on Comedy Central tonight and it includes all sorts of kooky extras. Go here: http://tinyurl.com/prw7lg

Or, if you don’t want to have to look at my stupid Irish head, the album version is currently available for download on iTunes.

What else is there to say?

Oh, I know: THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU THANK YOU!

Regards,
Christian Finnegan

Head on over to my super-keen VIDEOS PAGE to see Episode II of the all-important JOKESPIRATIONS video series. You’ll love it so much, you’ll want to awkwardly high five someone!

Did you know that “Au Contraire!” is of such artistic importance that en entire talk show has been created to discuss its countless lessons?  It’s true!  Rolly Chedwick hosts “Jokespirations”, a series that really gets to the nitty-gritty of what makes a brilliant comedy mind like mine tick.  Once you see Rolly in action, I think you’ll join in with me when I say, “Suck it, Charlie Rose!”.

To watch Episode One, head over to the VIDEO page.  This video will only be available for a week.  But remember, all four installments of “Jokespirations” will be included among the buttload of DVD extras on “Au Contraire!”

Minneapolis, MN
Madison, WI
Washington DC
Philadelphia, PA
Boston, MA
Seattle, WA
Portland, OR
