Jon Benjamin Heads To Black Cat

post from TV on HuffingtonPost.com on 25 April 2012 03:28:22 PM. © TV on HuffingtonPost.com

WASHINGTON -- Now that the show is over, the van is going on the road. Star of "Jon Benjamin Has A Van," Jon Benjamin, along with Leo Allen and Nathan Fielder, are headed to the Black Cat Wednesday night.

The voice of Archer from "Archer" and Bob from "Bob's Burgers" and a bunch of other excellent Comedy Central and Adult Swim shows will be presenting his style of anti-comedy. A mixture of filmed pieces, some sketch and mostly stand up, there's a reason the show is being staged at a rock venue and not a comedy club.

The Huffington Post caught up with Benjamin right before he boarded a plane from Boston to D.C.

The Huffington Post:Tonight will be the second night of the tour.

Jon Benjamin: I'm already really exhausted.

HuffPost:Why are you doing the tour?

Benjamin: Sounds like you're trying to talk me out of it. It sounds like something my father would say, "Is this helping you? Is this making you happy?" I do comedy so it makes sense. I wanted to show it to people.

HuffPost:Why music venues over traditional comedy spaces?

Benjamin: I haven't toured that much and to be less snarky in my answer, we planned to tour to support the Comedy Central show which has since been cancelled. It was the initial impetus for the tour. The booker books people like Eugene Mirman so it's a more natural way to do it.

HuffPost:When did you find out the show was canceled?

Benjamin: Maybe three or four weeks ago. We started conceiving the tour in the late fall so we figured it would start when production started.

HuffPost: I've read that "Jon Benjamin Has A Van" had a pretty difficult schedule.

Benjamin: We were a low budget show. We had a very fast schedule to do it. It was very concentrated. We had to write very quickly. There was just two of us (Benjamin and Leo Allen) so that was hard. We didn't have a lot of time to fool around. We had a couple months to write all ten, started shooting the street pieces where I fuck around with people almost right away. The bulk of the show was shot in LA which was pretty inconvenient.

HuffPost:Is there anything that you wanted to shoot but didn't?

Benjamin: Season 2.

We wrote season 2 and I was really happy with it. We wrote them more tightly, more writerly, they were more confident.

HuffPost:Are you going to try to do another television show right away?

Benjamin: I'm trying to do another TV show. It'll be less like a sketch show and more parody.

HuffPost:Any chance the Fuggedabuddies (a comedic duo Benjamin performs with Jon Glaser) making a return?

Benjamin: We just talked about putting a special together. Not just the Fuggedabuddies but a lot of the other stuff that hasn't been seen by most people. Sort of a spectacular. A lot of stuff from Invite them Up, one off stuff that only 75 people have seen.

HuffPost:Do you approach your stand up different than your character work?

Benjamin: I don't really write as a stand up. I never did. I sometimes collect ideas and I'll keep them, write them down, but I've never operated like a real stand up where I have to write jokes. It's a pretty loose version of stand up. It's very discursive, I'll tell some personal stories, it's pretty lackluster.

HuffPost:Do cartoon nerds get upset that your voice over work is all the same voice

Benjamin: I'm always disappointed in myself for not being able to do different voices. I really enjoy it when people come up to me and say, "It's amazing how different "Bob's Burgers" is from "Archer"! It's crazy." I'm always like, "It isn't. But thank you. For lying."

Zach Stafford: Uh-oh, Sharon Needles May Have
Said Something Racist

As we enter the final days of this season of RuPaul's Drag Race, we have been hit with a curveball from Ms. RuPaul herself: No queen has been crowned. If you watched the last episode, you know that RuPaul has decided to let the fans decide who becomes "America's Next Drag Superstar" by voting via Twitter (#DragRace) or Facebook. RuPaul tweeted the reasoning behind this move, stating, "Last year shady queens leaked the winner. This time we're keeping it secret till the very last moment." In defense of what many are calling a publicity stunt to hike up ratings and build upon the momentum of this season, I say, "Bravo, Ru." The final queens are Phi Phi O'hara, Chad Michael, and the now-infamous (and Lady Gaga's personal favorite) Sharon Needles.

But wait! There is something a little fishy about two of these queens and their politics: They may have made racist comments.

First there was Phi Phi O'hara's comment referring to Latrice Royale and Dida Ritz as "the help," sending the two queens into what looked like frustration. Dida Ritz asked, "Did she just call me 'the help'?" And Royale exclaimed, "I'm from Compton! I'll whoop your ass!" People were and still are upset over this comment, but most of the anger has seemed to dissipate with the excitement of the final episodes, and Phi Phi still has her "Phinatics" backing her up.

And now Sharon Needles has come under fire for a Facebook comment she appears to have made in February that has emerged and begun circulating around the Internet. In a screenshot we see Sharon writing, "I fucked a black last week...call me a cheater, not a racists..i don't say n-word..i say nigger..," among other very unsettling remarks. Though there has been no official response from Needles in regard to the truth behind this particular Facebook comment, the screenshot is flying around fast and could very well impact her image as fans vote. In an audio interview we hear Needles defending herself against claims of racism, stating, "I'm such a fan of using shocking images, whether they be relevant or not." She then says, "I don't hate anyone for how they look. I hate people for who they are."

Though the politics of who can say certain words are tricky, as we see with battles around words like "faggot" or "nigger," I think it is important for us to take note of this incident. Personally, that screenshot, the language it entails, and even Needles' response in the interview leaves me unsettled and a tad angry. Those remarks are uncalled for and inappropriate, to say the least. There seems to be a constant tension between drag and racism, the most visceral example being popular performer Shirley Q Liquor's choice to perform in blackface and exploit many dangerous stereotypes of black people, which has caused lots of backlash. So my real question is: why is drag sometimes racist, and why do drag performers occasionally do arguably racist things?

The answer? I don't know. The solution? I really don't know.

At the end of the day, Sharon Needles will most likely win season four of RuPaul's Drag Race, and outrage over her comments may fall by the wayside. That said, those statements and her position on dealing with race should be important factors to consider when you cast your vote for "America's Next Drag Superstar."
