My mum the other night (whilst drunk) told me that I was conceived during a threesome between her my dad and a stranger they solicited. I don't look very much like my dad or his side of the family and my mum said that they were never 100% sure if I was his child biologically or not.

What things have you been told that you'd rather not have heard.

I'm posting from my phone so forgive my brevity, but I wanted to get the word out that I was able to ask Jon during the q&a before the show what his thoughts on SOPA were and why he hasn't talked about it. His answer was that they've had their heads so far up the elections ass that they may have missed it. He then said he'd look into it, and mentioned it during the opening of the show!

Watch tonight, its a great interview and we finally got him to mention SOPA on air! Hopefully he'll make it a bit later and help spread the word.

Thanks everyone for the input! I'll post more info when I get to an actual computer later tonight.

Edit: forgot to post what I actually said, which was "the internet sent me to ask you what you think of SOPA and why you haven't mentioned it on the show."

Edit 2: Holy crap everyone, front page? Amazing!!! I'm so glad I was able to deliver this message. I don't know if Jon Stewart really had no idea about SOPA or if he was just saying that, but I almost lost my mind when he mentioned it in the intro. Another interesting point, someone wrote an article mentioning the exchange and noticed that Jon looked directly at one of his writers when he said he would look into it, so I'm really really hoping to see a follow up on it in the coming days. You are all awesome, keep spreading the word, thanks for the upvotes and the positive feedback! The best thing we can do to beat SOPA/PIPA is to keep spreading the word, so keep up the good work!

Hi! I am going to try to answer questions. I'll try. Here are some I saw already:

-What was your main inspiration for Portlandia? Working on projects with Carrie. That turned into making videos which then turned into the show. Our surroundings in Portland became the setting. -How much of your material do you write for your SNL skits? I write with other writers there. It's the most fun, getting to collaborate with smart and funny people. -Is it amazing playing the most well-known parody of the President? I love doing it.
-Are most Portlandia characters based on people you've met? For some reason, it's the other way around. We make people up, then somehow we see them walking around. Or biking around. -Who have been the best hosts on SNL while you've been on the show? So many and for different reasons. I like ex-SNL cast members. Like, Molly Shannon for example. I get star struck. I watched them on this show. 10
