Murray Langston is the Unknown Comic. Morey Amsterdam is a bit older (now dead, actually) and dates back to the Dick Van Dyke show. I referenced him for no good reason other than to amuse myself.

By Jove I think I've got it: TMFTML is Bruce Wasserstein!

Walter O'Malley, Bob Balaban and Mark Bavarro--I think these references prove that TMFTML is at least fifty years old.

Wait, he's anonymous again? Once you've been outed how do you get back into the closet?

oh my god- that interview was the funniest one yet! i've decided that anonymity must make bloggers more funny. note to jen chung: assume a pseudonym. suggestions: Busty McBoob, Titty Saigon, etc.
