Mr. Media is recorded live before a studio audience of sweaty cartoon characters hoping to be next in line for the J.J. Sedelmaier treatment … in the NEW new media capital of the world… St. Petersburg, Florida!

This year’s 40th anniversary of NBC’s “Saturday Night Live” became a time to reflect back on so many great characters that came out of that show over four decades:

• Roseanne Roseannadanna

• Stefon

• The Blues Brothers

• Father Guido Sarducci

• And... The Ambiguously Gay Duo!
J.J. SEDELMAIER podcast excerpt: "Robert Smigel called and said he had this script for a superhero-type cartoon, 'The Ambiguously Gay Duo.' Could he send it over? It was the first time I ever laughed out loud at a script. I've read scripts where I could see the humor in it and what I could do with it, but this was plain hilarious. I love comic books. To make fun of them in this way was extraordinary. I had to understand immediately that they aren't gay. It's the homophobia thing that's driving it. If they're gay that's not half as fun as if they're not and everyone else is freaking out... Once you know it's Stephen Colbert (as Ace), you can't not hear him. And Steve Carrell is doing a voice, so it's very funny when you think, 'THAT'S Steve Carrell?' They were great."
