Hey, Splitsider has a nice interview up now with our own Jonah Ray, and you should go there and read it, because a) it’s a good one, covering the special, The Meltdown, podcasting, and more, and b) it will serve as a reminder to you that Jonah’s Comedy Central special on The Half Hour is coming THIS FRIDAY and YOU HAVE TO WATCH. Take a look at the clip above, Jonah’s improbable tale of watching Lars Ulrich downloading music on the Internet at a house party.

And then watch The Half Hour with Jonah Ray on Friday night, 12/11c, on Comedy Central here in the good ol’ U.S. of A. Wear plaid.
