When the news is all bad, all the time, it's time for a change. Of the channel that is. Thank goodness it's comedy Wednesday.
Why not check out the hilarious panel discussions on "Chelsea Lately" with comedians like John Caparulo and Charlie Viracola or enjoy the comedy stylings of Russell Peters, Dane Cook, Ricky Gervais, Bill Engvall, Robin Williams or John Mayer.
Yup, that's right, John Mayer. And no we haven't suffered a stroke because our mutual fund is now toast.
A couple of years ago, Mayer was kind of a semi-regular at New York City's Comedy Cellar.
Maybe he could have changed careers if he'd just read the lyrics to some of his songs. Some of them are real knee-slappers.
