Because you've probably already seen every episode of his eponymous TV show roughly 20 times, we thought you might enjoy watching Jerry's first big break -- an appearance on "The Tonight Show with Johnny Carson." http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/twvod042908.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/twvod042908.html?15079 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 16:15:00 CST In the last 10 years, Milwaukee has magnetized its drawing power in both the local and national art arena. InSite, a local movement for installation art, reveals its fifth community project this month, and in doing so, reminds us that it belongs on that list. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/insite2008.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/insite2008.html?15076 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 05:03:00 CST Comedian Andy Andrist, whose CD “Dumb It Down for the Masses” is a collection of his trashy takes on overweight women, trailer parks, special athletes, Wal-Marts and death, headlines a night of “Discount Comedy in Bay View” Tuesday at the Alchemist Theatre. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/discountcomedy.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/discountcomedy.html?15056 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 22:22:00 CST I was recently enraptured by HBO's latest mini series, "John Adams." It smacked of historical truth and a sincere attempt to present an honest portrayal. The well-thought out details about oral health, timing of revolutionary events and primitive interior design were all interesting and genuine interpretations. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/alexanderhamilton.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/alexanderhamilton.html?15026 Sat, 26 Apr 2008 09:12:00 CST Wilkie Collins' century-old novel "Armadale" provides the inspiration for The Milwaukee Rep's world premiere production of the same name. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/thereparmadale.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/thereparmadale.html?15016 Wed, 23 Apr 2008 05:04:00 CST King Features Syndicate heads an effort in which nearly 50 comic strips are set to go "green" for Earth Day today. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/earthdaycomics.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/earthdaycomics.html?14998 Tue, 22 Apr 2008 02:46:00 CST Local writer Nancy Goodman Driver released her second book, “Coast to Coast: Arrivals and Departures.” http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/goodmandriverarticle.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/goodmandriverarticle.html?14953 Sun, 20 Apr 2008 05:23:00 CST The actor / comedian, slated to perform April 25 at The Pabst Theater, will shoot a movie instead. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/morganppd.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/morganppd.html?14957 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 13:23:00 CST Anyone who grew up in the ‘70s or ‘80s knows at least one -- possibly six -- girls named Jenny or Jen or Jennifer. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/jennyblog.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/jennyblog.html?14952 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 09:47:00 CST Today is -- at least according to NPR's "Morning Edition," National Poem in Your Pocket Day. That led me to share one of my favorites with you, but maybe you should only read this if you have a Blackberry or something. Otherwise, the poem isn't really in your pocket, even if it's in "the pocket," as musicians are fond of saying. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/poempocket.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/poempocket.html?14951 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 07:55:00 CST Life-long Milwaukee-area writer Kris Radish made her fiction debut about five years ago and since then, she's published "The Sunday List of Dreams," "Annie Freeman's Fabulous Traveling Funeral," "Dancing Naked at the Edge of Dawn" and "The Elegant Gathering of White Snows." http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/radish08.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/radish08.html?14774 Thu, 17 Apr 2008 05:06:00 CST What the heck has happened to HBO? It's creative moxy, marquee programming and mojo are all gone. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/hbosucks.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/hbosucks.html?14916 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 10:00:00 CST Milwaukee has amazing theater for a city this size. We support more professional companies than cities twice as big. Having said that, occasionally some theater stands just a little bit taller than the rest of the wonderful work in this town. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/talleysfolley.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/talleysfolley.html?14915 Tue, 15 Apr 2008 08:24:00 CST With a record 74 participants, Friday, April 18 and Saturday, April 19's Gallery Night and Day promises to be our largest artsy fartsy weekend ever.

Come to think of it, so are the music and most of the jokes. But, this '50s tribute is still a rollicking good time. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/hoopshaboop.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/hoopshaboop.html?14561 Sat, 15 Mar 2008 05:19:00 CST I had the honor of being in the first audience to ever enjoy Charles Randolf-Wright’s new play “The Night is a Child” this week. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/nightischild.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/nightischild.html?14554 Fri, 14 Mar 2008 11:27:00 CST If you missed the first five episodes of "Frank TV" on TBS, you'll get a chance to watch reruns of Waukesha native Frank Caliendo's sketch comedy show next month. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/franktvapril.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/franktvapril.html?14492 Tue, 11 Mar 2008 06:06:00 CST Lynn Allen photographs tattooed women for her new project called "Women In Ink."

This adapted version of Dostoevsky's 1866 Russian novel brought new challenges to MCT as the production demands only three actors play all the pivotal characters in the 90-minute play. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/crimeandpunishment.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/crimeandpunishment.html?14254 Sat, 16 Feb 2008 05:20:00 CST The writer's strike is over and TBS has picked up "Frank TV" for another season. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/franktvpickup.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/franktvpickup.html?14236 Thu, 14 Feb 2008 19:39:00 CST You need to get step inside and sample Discovery World's new Hive. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/discoveryhive.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/discoveryhive.html?14203 Wed, 13 Feb 2008 09:52:00 CST It's refreshing to see an exhibition -- nay, a fine exhibition -- of 20th century photography and see very few recognizable names and very few "landmark" images. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/mamfoto.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/mamfoto.html?14202 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 14:06:00 CST A fellow native New Yorker friend with whom I worked for many years recently alerted me to "The Sky Isn't Visible Here," a memoir by Brooklyn gal Felicia Sullivan. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/sullivanevent.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/sullivanevent.html?14197 Tue, 12 Feb 2008 10:16:00 CST CBS' "Jericho," is back from the dead, thanks to a write-in campaign from loyal viewers.

Even if I had a transcription of the 90-minute slew of jokes he delivered at The Pabst Theater, I certainly couldn't print any part of it for fear that "Net Nanny" would ban this Web site from schools and libraries. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/louisckreview.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/louisckreview.html?14173 Fri, 8 Feb 2008 22:47:00 CST Bronze Fonz hater Mike Brenner received five angry messages -- including a death threat -- that you can now hear on his Web site. http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/brennerdeaththreat.html http://onmilwaukee.com/ent/articles/brennerdeaththreat.html?14171 Fri, 8 Feb 2008 16:46:00 CST The month-long Milwaukee run of "The Lion King" is officially open.
