...Phoenix, they spend time with Lily (Allison Janney), Verona's former boss, and her husband Lowell (Jim Gaffigan). Paging the ugly Americans! Looped by noon, Lily brays in a glass-shattering voice about her kids, who are within their easy earshot, and wonders why she hasn't been accepted at the local country club. As for Lowell, he's been crushed by her tart hectoring into a mewling collection of prejudices. So Burt and Verona move on.

"You're just going 'wah, wah' when you put the thing over the soda!" Black protests, as the guard played by Gaffigan...

...make students think twice about paying for a laugh. Or we could have made the whole event free—and for the same cost as Breuer, ran a second one in January when we really need a laugh to break the ice on our noses. Gaffigan and Swardson are at the top of the comedy circuit today and few could make a convincing case that Breuer offers a better show...

...life at Harvard. Here’s some advice to go along with it: save the big bank for big names, get more creative with large-scale but low-cost, and don’t waste our money on “in between.” If bringing Gaffigan instead of Breuer means last spring’s concert could have been upgraded from Busta Rhymes to Outkast, I’ll take a better show by Outkast and an equal laugh from Gaffigan...
