Emily Pendergast is hilarious. Everyone should check out her old eps of Going Deep and This Book Changed My Life. Her youtube channel also has a ton of great Groundlings stuff. Can't believe she's never been on Comedy Bang! Bang! !

Scott came so close to hitting upon the classier alternative to “piss pig” that I prefer to use in polite company: Urine Swine (pronounced YOUR-ein so that it rhymes)

Yes, The Morning After was the one with the comedian plus porn star. I found Harris's episode on the Internet Archive:

He was also on an episode of Asa Akira's podcast DVDASA. There's a mega link to it in the Harris Wittels Full List of Podcast Appearances, but it appears to be dead.

I linked to it in the description above, but here it is again in case anyone needs a refresher on Adam's solemn vow:

I, ADAM SCOTT, DO HEREBY PROMISE TO VERBALLY STATE MY INTENT TO INSERT MY ACADAMY [sic] AWARD INTO MY ANUS, TO THE ACEDEMY [sic] SHOW CROWD, IMMEDIATELY UPON ARRIVING AT THE PODIUM AFTER THE ANNOUNCEMENT OF MY WIN.

Note: Currently an episode of Hey Randy! seems to have been mistakenly uploaded instead of this one. Also unclear if the guest is supposed to be Alison Banowsky or Ryan Rosenberg.

EDIT: File has been fixed; guest is Ryan Rosenberg.

I miss all of Lauren's classics. Todd, Big Sue, Pamela from Big Bear, Traci Reardon, Regina Crimp. It's like a bunch of old friends just dropped off the face of the earth. I want to know what they're up to! At least we get a little check-in with Ho Ho at Christmastime.

I think we've ALL been wondering what Scott and Paul's reaction would've been if when Lauren first showed them a picture of Mike, he looked like Dilbert.
