What you can't quite make out in the scrabble picture is Showalter's 'word de resistance' - penissockser. He used all his letters and got 50 bonus points. Score! I loved the combination of the two different comedic styles. Showalter was more off-the-cuff: his notes included such lead-ins as "vaginas are strange, discuss" and his music and dancing made it a lot of fun. Black's routine was more straight-forward stand-up, though no less entertaining. I agree with Tomdog that the real magic happened when the two of them played off each other and combined their unique styles. Great great show over-all and good news for all you State fans out there. MIB let the audience know that they are filming a new State movie that will be released in conjunction with the State Series DVD coming out next year.</p>
