Back in January of 2009, some friends and I put on some freshly ironed clothes and shot a cable television comedy special for the Showtime network. They said it would air sometime this year. Well, the people at Showtime ain’t no liars! Turns out it is airing the last possible day of this year. You can catch the premiere on Showtime at 8:00 PM on New Year’s Eve. The original title of the show was “Edwin San Juan’s SlantEd Comedy”, but was changed to “Edwin San Juan’s Pacific Rim Comedy.” The logic being that while there are sinister, racist connotations to the word “Slant”, only wholesome images are associated with the word “Rim.” (/sarcasm)
So let this be a lesson that you should not do time-sensitive material on a television program for which you do not have an exact air date. I can’t remember how many Inauguration jokes I did. But really, one is too many at this point. Thank goodness it airs on a night when alcohol may impair your judgment on how old my jokes are.
Here are the scheduled air dates:
On Showtime
12/31/09 at 8:00 PM
On Showtime 2
01/03/10 at 3:30 AM
On Showtime Showcase
01/04/10 at 4:45 AM
On Showtime Showcase
01/09/10 at 4:30 AM
On Showtime Showcase
01/12/10 at 1:35 AM
Which means that if you don’t see it on New Year’s Eve, you kind of have to be on crystal meth to see subsequent showings. You can also catch it on Showtime On Demand from January 1 through January 28. Huh? Not the 29th? What if you demand it?
Anyway, there you go. Tune in and watch me and my friends Edwin San Juan, Joey Guila, Bernadette Balagtas, Ron Josol and Dan Gabriel.
