Michael Showalter at SLC

from Wikipedia, 'cause why not?:

Michael Showalter, an American actor, writer and director best known as one-third of the protagonist trio of Stella, was born in Princeton, New Jersey to an Episcopalian father and a Jewish mother, the literary critic Elaine Showalter. Showalter first came to recognition as a cast member on MTV's The State which aired from 1993 to 1995. He co-wrote (with David Wain) and starred in Wet Hot American Summer (2001) and he wrote, directed, and starred in The Baxter (2005), with Michelle Williams, Justin Theroux and Elizabeth Banks. Both of these movies featured many of his co-stars from The State, and so do several of his other projects.

Last night, he gave a "lecture" at Sarah Lawrence.

An example (and peep the screen behind him with your x-ray vision):



By the way, after that, he says, "Duck with a penis."

In related news, those who enjoyed Wet Hot American Summer will be thrilled that David Wain will be directing another film, but look at the cast list. That's ridiculous.
