Roast of the Town

Jeff Ross is, I think, one of the best comedians working today. Somehow though, I only recently got around to watching his latest special for Comedy Central, which had been languishing on my TiVo for some months now. It's called Jeff Ross Roasts the Border and I wish everyone who weighs in on the various debates about immigration would watch it before they harden their positions.

Ross went to a Tex-Mex border town to perform and he also shot conversations with folks on both sides of that border.  It's a funny show but it also gives you a chance to "meet" some of the people who'll be most affected by what this country decides to do about letting people come in and maybe stay in.  Give it a look…which you can do one of two ways.  There's an online version you can watch right here and it also reruns this weekend.  It's on Comedy Central at Midnight, between Friday night and Saturday morning on my cable channel.  Your source of TV may vary.

That's Jeff Ross Roasts the Border.  Well worth your viewing time.  The televised version is in a 75-minute slot and the online version runs 50 minutes.  I'm not sure if the difference is just because of fewer commercials or what.
