Fresh out of college, Anthony Jeselnik moved to LA where he found himself working at Border's books, in debt, and feeling pressured to find a course in life. He decided that he wanted to write jokes for late night TV and shortly thereafter met with Leno's head writer Jimmy Brogan, who advised the young Jeselnik to pursue stand up. It took a year for Anthony to jump into the LA comedy scene, but since then he's been fully embraced and even made TV appearances on Jimmy Kimmel, Premium Blend, and Last Call with Carson Daly. Now the young talent's in New York, soaking up the city's atmosphere, and doing tons of shows, like tonight's 8 PM spot at Drink at Workat Rififi and his 10 PM spot at Check Your Cool at the Parkside Lounge.

Even though Carson Daly is a tool, his late late night show "Last Call with Carson Daly" does have great musical guests. Like tonight: And You Will Know Us By The Trail Of The Dead. The first track, "It Was There That I Saw You" is gloriously beautiful and brutal. Program Tivo or stay up past Conan for it. The non-musical guest is musical as well, it's Steven Van Zandt!
