I've got a sportsy-bloggy thingie up at great San Diego Padres site Friar Forecast.

That's sense, Withnail: "Jeff Caldwell is a very funny man, a great stand-up comedian if there ever was one. He's insightful, smart and not at all profane. I highly recommend him."

For my trenchant public policy contributions, I've been given a shout-out by great comic and great blogger/media analyst Bob Somerby here and here.

What a nice surprise. Not really "news," as it's from April, but new to me.

Just stumbled on a brief blurb about myself at The Onion's AV Club. I've auditioned for a few of the Onion News Network pieces, which are sometimes hilarious, but didn't know they had any other knowledge of me.

While performing in Indianapolis's (Indianapolis'?) Morty's Comedy Joint on December Third through Sixth, I'll be stopping by the Bob and Tom Show, which, they tell me, is also televised now on WGN. It's bad enough getting up that early after a show the night before, but now I have to shower.

My beloved and bedeviling San Diego Chargers made a furious comeback to beat the New York football Giants yesterday, showcasing their lack of running game and pass rush--they're strictly a bunch of sandlot bombers. Exciting, but it doesn't seem like a sustainable business model. At least I get to see the disgruntled New York fans up close...

Did two shows last week featuring Jim Gaffigan, who was working on a very funny hunk about hotels--as one who's done his share of hard time at the Hilton, it rang a bell.

Did a show last night with my friend Laurie Kilmartin, who's on her way to L.A. to write for Bonnie Hunt's show. She'll be missed in New York!

I did a show in Cambridge, Massachusetts this week that featured talks from Congressman Ed Markey and technologist Dean Kamen, both fascinating. Dean showed a video featuring his “Luke Arm,” a brain-controlled prosthetic limb. It enabled some amputees to handle very delicate tasks, like picking up a grape and getting it into the mouth without dropping it or crushing it. Great line, from the wife of Chuck, a man who was able to feed himself for the first time in 12 years: “Dean, either you give us that arm, or you take Chuck.”

For the Boston-area fans, I'll be telling sports jokes on the premiere episode of "Comedy All-Stars" on NESN July 25th.

For those who enjoy chatter, here are some links: A podcast taped at the DC Improv (video version or just the noises) with the delightful Chris White, and an interview with Seattle morning radio's also delightful Bob Rivers.

And another honor rolls in: ComedyNJ.com has named me one of their "Top Ten New Jersey Comics to Watch." Still waiting to hear how much the cash stipend will be...

On St. Patrick's Day, I visited a Scotsman!!! I made my return to "The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson" Mar. 17th!

2007 WAS A GREAT YEAR FOR TEAM CALDWELL! Highlights included our return to the Late Show with David Letterman on Oct. 19th, (cleverly scheduled just before the writers' strike shut things down), our new CD's debut and heavy play on XM Radio, and our first trip to the Emerald Isle for the Smithwick's The Cat Laughs Comedy Festival in Kilkenny--thanks for your support!
