So it's the week before Halloween and you can't go as a ghost again because your mom is pissed you keep cutting holes in her sheets. What to do? We're here to help. All this week we're going to tell you how to dress up like your favorite My Damn Channel stars.
First up, How To Dress Like Gigi:
What you need:
- hat
- button-down shirt
- striped tie
- cargo shorts
- glasses
- old-timey suitcase
Most of these items are probably lying around your parents' house somewhere or can be purchased pretty inexpensively at any second-hand store.
Once you get the look down, get the character down by walking around all day saying
"shakey peachy" and pretending not to understand English. We predict this will go over particularly well with your girlfriend who already complains that you don't understand her.
If you do it correctly, you should resemble our friend
Smokybanjo here, whose head has been poorly 'shopped onto Gigi for no reason other than we watched
an old episode of YSAP and learned about the path tool. Happy Halloween!

Ah, September. You went by so fast. How can it be the end of you already? We're still debating whether or not it's okay to wear white and now you want us to start thinking about Halloween costumes? Sigh.
In honor of the end of September and
a certain song by Green Day that has been stuck in our heads all day, we present images of My Damn Channel stars sleeping so that we can tell them to
"WAKE UP!" just like the song asks us to.
Wake up, Daily Grace! It's the end of September!
Wake up, Kristen Schaal! It's the end of September!
Wake up, Gigi! It's the end of September!
So we hope you're awake now."Waking you up when September ends" was kind of a weird request, right? Pretty arbitrary. We mean, if you're going to hibernate, why not just wake up in March? Whatever. We're your friends so we'll play alarm clock for you but just this once. Unless you pay us or something. Then we'd probably do it more.
Some intrepid fans have launched an online campaign to get
Gigi and Book of Mormon star Josh Gad a hosting gig on Saturday Night Live, and we have to say, that sounds like a pretty good idea to us.
The site
Brobible says, "Gad's one of the funniest, quick-witted young actors around, and his big
frame and mop of curly hair belie his intelligence and comic timing.
The ironic part about this campaign to get him to host 'SNL,' in my
opinion, is that if he were a cast member on the show, he'd instantly
become its biggest star. Think Will Ferrell meets Chris Farley.
Seriously, he's that good, and it's apparently his lifelong dream to
appear on 'SNL.' Isn't it everyone's?"
Wow. So
LIKE the page, support the campaign, and help Josh Gad live the dream, man. Uh, we mean, "my mans."
Check out our "The Book of Mormon" sweepstakes winner Sharon Cruz-Nichols and her husband, James, with Josh Gad after the show! Here's to our guests - we hope you had a blast in NYC.

bonus material on 6/9/2011 10:25:44 AM by Matt Warren
Season One of My Damn Channel's hit show Gigi: Almost American may have come to an end, but that doesn't mean everyone's favorite pie-eyed foreigner is MIA. On the contrary, each Wednesday will see the debut of new Gigi-related bonus material. Sort of like a DVD extra, except, you know, on your computer. You can stretch your throat muscles with a little Gigi theme song karaoke, or bop along to Episode 2's bouncy, '80's-inspired "Squirt Gun" (free download included!). There are also outtakes, promos, and interviews galore—everything you need for your Elks Club's next Gigi: Almost American theme party. And look out for more in the weeks to come.
And since we're talking about Gigi, we'd like to take this opportunity to wish our pal Josh Gad good luck this Sunday at the Tony Awards. The Gigi creator/star is up for Best Lead Actor in a Musical for his awesome work in Trey Parker & Matt Stone's The Book of Mormon. BOM is also up for Best Musical, Best Original Score, Supporting Actor, Supporting Actress, Direction, Choreography, Orchestration, Scenic Design, Costume, Lighting, and Sound. I mean holy shit, right? That's a lot of nominations. Break a leg, Elders!
Gigi: Almost American Season Finale now playing on an internet near you. Click
here to watch.
So I guess that's it then. All done. Thanks for coming.
WAIT!!!
This just in: Gigi "Extras" will be released every Wednesday!
Take your head out of the oven and we'll see you next Wednesday for more Gigi.

Mother's Day,

mother on 5/5/2011 4:29:03 PM by Matt Warren
You know that stern, older woman who lived in your house when you were growing up? The one who cooked all your meals, did your laundry, and threw away all the porno she found under your bed while vacuuming? The woman who always got into lengthy shouting matches with your father over finances, and who spent long afternoon after long afternoon quietly sitting on the couch, surrounded by the chaos of her household, drinking zinfandel and staring off into the middle distance? Remember her?
That was Ms. Ana, your nanny.
The woman who paid Ms. Ana to do all those things was your
mother. And guess what Sunday is? That’s right: Mother’s Day.
What’s that? You demand My Damn Channel videos with an extremely tenuous link to a Mothers’ Day theme? Well don’t worry, YOU WILL NOT BE DENIED.
Everyone’s favorite newly-minted American,
Gigi, falls for a very pretty, very pregnant library patron, played by Gigi star Josh Gad’s real-life wife, Ida Darvish.
Two grown children of an eccentric, mostly awful dead actress try to figure out what made their mom tick in the
new series Versailles, premiering Monday!
And last but not least,
David Wain shoves a new mother to the ground and tries to drown her baby. Spoilers.
So show a little respect, you little shit, and send the old crone a card. Who knows? Maybe she’ll write you back into the will after all.
UPDATE: Watch the Tony Awards Live - Sunday, June 12th 8/7c on CBS
The Book of Mormon is the most nominated show on Broadway with 14 Tony Awards including Best Musical, and 2 nominations for Best Actor in a Musical (Josh Gad - star of Gigi: Almost American on My Damn Channel, and Best Actor for Andrew Rannells!

Congratulations to Matt Stone, Trey Parker, and Robert Lopez for turning Broadway on its ear, to all of the amazing cast and crew, and especially to our main man, Josh Gad!
