You are cordially invited to distract yourself from news about the world being horrible with this funny video I made with Ted Leo & Chris “Spoony” Spooner at a redhead beauty and fashion event. We showed this at the most recent HOW WAS YOUR WEEK LIVE and the hush that fell over the crowd when Ted sang his Irish dirge still gives me chills to think about. Enjoy this. We had fun making it.

This SPECIAL SPOOKY HALLOWEEN episode of How Was Your Week Live —HOW WAS YOUR SHRIEK— was recorded live on October 17th at The Bell House in terrifying New York City!
Join GHOULIE as she interviews KRISTEN “CORN MAZE” JOHNSTON, “GORY” GABE LIEDMAN, “SCARY” SCHARPLING & WURSTER AND “SCARY” THA SQUIRREL live on stage, while “TERRIFYING” TED LEO watches!
Regret not being there live to see a surprise—and spooky—appearance by GENE SIMMONS, kind of! Marvel at the Halloween Costume Contest, which admittedly might not translate well to audio! Enjoy Ted & Julie’s SPOOKY SONG-OFF! And gird your loins for CATS fan fiction and Tawny Kitaen’s geniunely horrifying Twitter feed.
Plus—the lyrics to FRANKENSTEIN, finally! Spangles The Cat! The five things that scare Gabe! What slutty thing John Lithgow once said to Kristen on the set of 3RD ROCK! A man named Cheryl Morgan! And Gary Tha Squirrel’s favorite candies. Oh, would you were there. Here are photos!

"Read everything Julie Klausner writes and listen to everything Julie Klausner says. She is hilarious, wise and smarter than you. I adore her."
"One of the Best Comedy Podcasts"
—NYTimes, Rolling Stone, GQ
"Hilarious and Insightful"
—USA Today
"One of the comedians who could follow Conan on TBS"
—Huffington Post
"One of the few essential podcasts... It's personal comedy wrapped (in a way that is both apt and unlikely) inside the spirit of a variety show. Her literate sensibility and affection for showmanship are reminders of an era when 'nerd' connoted smart more than obsessive."
I Don't Care About Your Band optioned by Will Ferrell and Adam McKay's Production Company
"A Dating Book We Can Get Behind"
—Jezebel
"[A] dating memoir that manages to avoid excessive self-deprecation, self-pity, or self-flagellation."
—The New Yorker
