    I brought this up in the live show thread when Steve was announced as the guest - I'm pretty sure he was referring to "the other" Howard Kramer, whom our Howie has mentioned a few times. I can't really find much info on that guy, but I don't think Kremer has done any significant amount of sketch/improv, and definitely not in Chicago (without watching it again, I think Steve said he started at IO in Chicago, not IO West in Hollywood). When PFT responds that he knows him, I think he was thinking of Kremer.

    How is Mountain Dew able to get away with the 'kick start' name? Seems like a pretty blatant ripoff of Kickstarter but whatever.

     

    I'm no Legal Zoom, but I think, generally speaking, you can't really have a blanket trademark on an existing common phrase. An energy drink and a website are different enough that no one should confuse them, and Kickstarter can't reasonably say that Mountain Dew are trying to deceive people or evoke any connection between the two.

    For those interested, the guests for tonight's VPN live show are Paul F. Tompkins, Doug Benson (who is making his first appearance in years) and Steven Yeun from The Walking Dead. Great line-up!

     

    Yep, this should be great. It's cool to see them book a funny actor who isn't known as a "comedic actor". Yeun was on Speakeasy with PFT this week, and talked about having done improv before (with "the other" Howard Kramer, funnily enough), so I'm sure he'll be good.

     

    I liked this episode a lot more than Monday's, too. Ventura is my favorite Adomian character, and when he showed up, I had forgotten that James was a guest on the show, so that was awesome.
