The Latest in Kids in the Hall News
This section was formally known as KITHspotting... Don't worry if you still want those Old links to older news and projects they will be moved to an Archived section in the future. I promised I would have every thing finished here by Thanksgiving 2000 and never got around to it. I should tell you a lot of things will be either under construction or look stupid until I get this looking the way I want.
March 11, 2008:
FINALLY the Kids are touring this year... KITH Tour 2008 Information lists the cities.
Dateline: January 9, 2008:
Cripes! It's really been a year since I last updated these pages? I think I say on the front page and I should make it a crawler to check at Kithfan.org instead. I think I will let this site expire and move these pages over to Kithfan. But in the meantime, here's the news:
January 11, 2008: Kevin McDonald is performing Hammy & the Kids on Friday, 8 p.m. at the Steve Allen Theater, Hollywood. Tickets are $15. [Come February, Scott Thompson will be performing his one man show Scottrastrophe on some Fridays. When the website over there updates I'll tell you exact dates].
January 26-27, 2008: If you are in San Francisco catch all of the Kids in the Hall performing at the 7th Annual SF Sketchfest. Saturday is going to be more of a Q&A thing and Sunday they will be performing skits (both new and old).
Dateline: January 17, 2007:
Forgive my slackerly ways. I'm trying to get better. But here's a little 411: Bruce McCulloch will be performing at San Francisco Sketchfest at the Eureka Theater on January 27 & January 28. Craig Northey will also be there. Tickets are $25. So those of you in the San Francisco area, go see Bruce eh?
I've also added a bulletin board for folks to let me and anyone else who frequent the Kithfan site what's going on in the World of KITH. The forum is located here. You have to register to post but it's free and I won't bug you. It's jsut a measure to reduce bots and spammers.
Dateline: July 21, 2006:
The Final Fifth season dvd of the Kids in the Hall is now available for pre-order. Shipping would start on July 24th. And your free gift for ordering early is none other than a Bellini towel.

Dateline: February 10, 2006:
The Los Angeles shows next week have been sold out. They sold out in four hours. But don't despair, this means the likelihood of a larger tour this fall is imminent! YAY!

And there's going to be a taping of it this week. But the email says if I can't attend I'm not allow to disseminate, distribute or copy this e-mail.

Rest in Peace, Hilary Corbett. She was the costume designer for The Kids in the Hall. She was 75.
Dateline: September 29, 2004:
I am a slug... I will freely admit it... I'm so behind on updating this page and the kithfan.org page... but I am going to force myself to do it this weekend. So for a little silly... Vote for The KITH Season One Boxset as the Best 80s dvd release at Hive4Media.com. (This page won't work if you are using Mozilla Firefox though).
Several people have emailed me about a Dave Foley movie called, Intern Academy. I haven't been watching tv much lately so I've been missing the ads for but it opened September 14th in select theaters (really select because I don't think it's hit my neck of the woods yet).
Dateline: June 5, 2004:
Yes, I'm late in getting this out there, but you probably already know by now that the Celebrity Poker Showdown on Bravo tv is being hosted by Dave Foley. You can catch him on Bravo, Thursday nights at 8pm CST/9 pm EST. And like all good cable stations it re-airs several times. In fact I'm looking at it right now at noon/1pm EST.
Dateline: May 26, 2004:
It's official. There will be a second season Kids in the Hall dvd set! KidsintheHall.com is looking to start shipping season 2 on July 6th and preorders will be taken on June 6th from the website. Thank you KITH fans for making the first season dvd successful enough that they decided to bring out season two. Now to make sure there will be a season three, season four ... and season five!
Dateline: May 6, 2004:
Okay so the movie starring Isabella Rossellini and Mark McKinney, The Saddest Music in the World opened in New York last week. It opens in Los Angeles on May 7, 2004, and hopefully it will nationwide soon. It's a musical done in a 1930s Busby Berkeley style. It should be interesting to see.
Dateline: April 26, 2004:
Look for Mark McKinney to be a guest on Conan O'Brien April 30th. (Thanks Naomi O. for the heads up)
Scott Thompson will be performing in San Francisco at Cobb's Comedy Club on May 23rd. Go see him! (I'm sorry I can't remember who emailed me ... it was lost, but thanks for Kithblog for the link).
Dateline: April 1, 2004:
Scroll down a bit on Kithblog and you can download and view Kevin in the OutKast video Roses. They have it in real and winamp formats!
Also look for Dave Foley on the ABC comedy, I'm With Her, on April 6, 2004. (Thanks gang at Kithblog!)
Dateline: March 24, 2004:
I haven't seen it yet, but I've been told that Kevin McDonald has a hilarious cameo in Outkast's newest video, Roses. Keep an eye out for it. (Thank you Dan Nicholls for the 411).
Has it really been since January since I've updated here? Okay here's the latest (thanks to Tavie for the information) ... Dateline: March 20, 2004:
Dateline: March 20, 2004: After many talks and emails with Trista, I'm now the new owner of Kithfan.org. For the moment I've kept it as it (well as much as possible, some things got lost during the move from servers, but the transcripts are still in tact) with a little tweaking here and there. I just couldn't let that website die especially since it's a really good one!
Way cool! A DVD Review of the First Season Kids in the Hall Boxset!
The Official Kids in the Hall Website is back. Reserve a copy of the DVD of Season 1 of The Kids in the Hall there. Fill out surveys... rejoice in the return of the website.
DO YOU LIVE IN TORONTO? Check Special invite for free tickets to see Scott and Dave at the premiere of The Toronto Show, Wednesday September 17th.
Bruce McCulloch will be performing at the One Yellow Rabbit Performance Theatre November 4-9th the play Letters to Wendy's, based on the book by Joe Wenderoth. Get your tickets!
Look for Mark McKinney to join the cast of the FOX comedy, Wanda at Large this season. I've only seen a few episodes of that show but it's a pretty damn funny show, starring comedian Wanda Sykes. He'll play Wandas boss/station manager, at least according to TV GUIDE.
Taken from Zentertainment.com:
Foley to Help Out on HOLLOW MEN
Dave Foley of KIDS IN THE HALL fame has been brought
on to executive produce a pilot for COMEDY CENTRAL
starring the U.K. comedy troupe the HOLLOW MEN.
VARIETY reports Foley's responsibilities will include
assembling a writing team for the show, as well as
advising on sketch lineups. The series' in-studio
pieces will be shot by John Moffit (Mr. Show), while
remotes will be directed by commercial director Danny Boyle.

Have suggestions for the upcoming Kids in the Hall DVD? Try leaving them at this KITH DVD forum. The men in charge of putting the dvd together are on this forum. They want your feedback. EDIT: DATELINE September 24th: The DVD forum has moved to a new Message Board that doesn't beleaguer you with pop up ads. The old board still works but it probably won't stay up forever.
If you were watching VH-1's specials this week about pop culture and fads of the 1970s, then you know that Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald and Mark McKinney added their input in varying years. I missed the whole thing. I guess I'll have to catch it as a marathon on VH-1 or something.
Very excellent DVD news: Amanda sent an email to Broadway Video to find out when or if The Kids in the Hall will ever make it to dvd. The response she got back was there is a dvd of the first season of the Kids in the Hall in the works and it's hoped to be released later this fall! FINALLY! Can I get an "AMEN!"?
And on a different note, NewsRadio will begin to be released on DVD in the winter. Well, the show doesn't have a firm date, but seasons 1 and 2 will be released in early 2004. The 3 disc set will contain all 28 episodes of the short first season (7 episodes) and second season (21 episodes). With the discs being packed full of episodes it's unlikely the set will contain any bonus materials. Thank you Amanda for the info!
Look for Scott Thompson on Late Night with Conan O'Brien, on July 24th (Thursday).
If you cruise Brucio.com often, you now know that you can get his cd, Drunk Baby Project online at CD Baby. And can I say it's been months since I've visited Bruce's site at Brucio and it gets better and better with every visit? (I'm not sucking up ... it's true).
Because I got tired of having a banner at the top of each page, I bought this domain for my Kids page. It's kind of fortuitous since my university is about to dismantle the servers that served my first pages.
Happy Belated Birthdays Scott Thompson (June 12) and Mark McKinney (June 25th). What can I say? I'm getting senile I guess.
Hey you folks in Vancouver .... You probably already know this but you can catch Mark McKinney in the play, Fully Committed from May 22-June 28th.
Scott Thompson is busy again... he was on the Howard Stern Radio Show this morning (April 21st) and tonight he'll be on Comedy Central's Tough Crowd with Colin Quinn at 10:30 pm CST/11:30 pm EST.
Double your Scott Thompson pleasure! I hear that Scott will be a guest this Saturday (Apr. 12) on Touched by an Angel (hold your gag reflex please ... ) and also he'll be on The Simpsons on Sunday (Apr. 13). GREAT SCOTT! (thanks for the info, Tavie)
Look for Dave Foley and Scott Thompson to be guest on The Jimmy Kimmel Show today (Monday, March 24th). Check your local listings for times.
Most of the information is old, but Win Media seems to have a promotional website for KITH's TOUR OF DUTY dvd promotions. At least now I know the Caroline Rhea appearance is suppose to be this month some time (March)
March 2nd, Comedy Central at 2:30 a.m. (I'm going to presume Eastern 1:30 am CST) Pulp Comics hosted by Scott Thompson will be on, with a special appearance by Dave Foley.
For those wondering when the Kids in the Hall Pay-Per-View special came on ... it aired February 8th at 8 p.m. Mind you not all cable providers carried the special. In fact, I'm pretty sure mine didn't at all. In some places I think it might still be playing. Check your area and cable providers through PPV.COM
After what's felt like many delays, you can pre-order the Kids in the Hall 2002 dvd/video Tour of Duty from Amazon.com. It's due out March 18th. Bruce McCulloch's directorial effort, Stealing Harvard can be bought on February 18th. Thanks Kauth for the info.
Well damn! It seems Dave Foley was on the Today Show this morning (Feb 10th). I didn't know anything about it. Sorry. And I also hear that The Kids in the Hall will appear on an upcoming Caroline Rhea Show. (They taped that appearance around the same time they taped the Letterman appearance), so your guess is as good as mine when it will make it on the air.
If you live in New York, try to get tickets to David Letterman on February 6th. The Kids in the Hall will be guests, promoting the Pay Per View special of the last tour. The actual day the show will air is February 8th February 7th. Good luck getting tickets! Thanks to Marie for the information.
If you live in Los Angeles, don't forget to check out Scott Thompson at the The Knitting Factory on Sunday, January 26th. Comedy Freak Out USA is a benefit for the Westside Food Bank. Tickets are $5 and available through the website. (Thanks Anon. on the trading board).
Barb falls down on the job again. Apparently Dave Foley was on an episode of The King of Queens this past Monday (Jan. 6). He played a marriage counselor I think. Maybe I'll catch it in the repeat or at least attempt to report when there will be a repeat.
Comedy Central has their Schedule for the Kids in the Hall back up. It will begin airing again January 3rd. But looks like on January 8th there's four back to back episodes. All of them in the wee hours of the morning. So get those vcrs ready to tape.
December 22nd on CBC in Canada, you will be able to catch a Christmas special written and I think directed by Dave Foley. It recently premiered at an El Vez concert in Toronto. Maybe with any luck we'll get to see this special in the US at some time.
I know this tends to fall on the gossipy side (sorry), but congratulations are in order for Dave Foley and his wife Chrissy Guerrero. They are expecting their first child (a girl) to be born in 2003 sometime.
I apologize for not reporting that Scott Thompson was doing a benefit type thing at a comedy club Dec. 8th. I knew about it and never got around to posting it here. Don't hurt me.
This is more of an update than news... I've moved the photos that were on the old website to here. You can also upload some photos you might have that you'd want in the gallery. It's really easy, and I will upload them to the regular albums in a timely manner.
Thanks to the persistence of folks (hopefully) e-mail bombing Comedy Central, it seems that The Kids in the Hall will be returning to the Comedy Central lineup in January.
Go to eBay right now and bid on items for the Titans of Comedy Benefit. Get Kids in the Hall and Mr. Show related items to call your own. Good luck!
Nov. 14: If you're anything like me ... you didn't see Kevin McDonald on Late Night with Conan O'Brien last night. He wasn't a "sit down" guest but a musical performer in the "The Mick Michaels Project". Skit? or Real group? I don't know. But if you want to catch the rebroadcast, Comedy Central re-airs the previous night's Conan at 7 p.m. Eastern/6 p.m. Central. So catch the rebroadcast tonight.
The Museum of Television and Radio has been offering seminars saluting Canada and the Canadian Broadcasting Center. Come December (right around Christmas) you can see the salute to Lorne Michaels with mention of The Kids in the Hall.
Bad news for the tv show Providence, of which Scott Thompson is an unofficial regular in the cast. It's been cancelled. The last new shows will air until December.
All of today's "news" items were 'borrowed' from Kithblog...
Okay, I'm not the only person who recognizes Kevin McDonald's voice in the Cartoon Network program, Robot Jones. He seems to play a teacher in this.
Remember that on the Kids in the Hall's last tour, the Vancouver show was being taped for Pay Per View? Well apparently, it will also be on dvd. You can pre-order a copy here at DVD Empire. So who needs to pay for stinking PPV when you can get your own copy! It's entitled: The Kids in the Hall: Tour of Duty. Very cool.
E!'s Coming Attractions will feature Stealing Harvard on these dates (check your local listings for times):
Thursday, September 12 @ 1:30pm
Friday, September 13 @ 7:30am
Saturday, September 14 @ 7:00am & 3:30am (late night)
Sunday, September 15 @ 3:00am (late night)
Don't forget that the film Bruce McCulloch directed, Stealing Harvard starring Tom Green opens in theatres nationwide on September 13th!
Just under the wire (Thanks PJ): There's a special airing on CBC in Canada celebrating 50 years of comedy on CBC in which the Kids in the Hall reunite and perform one of their time honoured sketches from the past, "Reg"... Scott also resurrects his Buddy Cole character in a bit with Canadian comedienne Cathy Jones from "This Hour Has 22 Minutes" and Dave Foley does a bit with Colin Mochrie (Whose Line Is It Anyway, Drew Carey). For those in Canada and near the border who can pick up CBC it should be fun.
There's a link to some screenshots of their appearance at
http://www.airfarce.com/
It airs Sunday, September 8 @ 9pm on CBC.
Look for Bruce McCulloch to appear on Conan O'Brien on September 12th!
Not really news, but someone emailed me to asked where they could find the website that had the funky Bible stories done in Lego's that was part of the slideshow to the Kids in the Hall tour. Here's that site, The Reverend.com. The actual slideshow used was Instructions on Marriage.
Got an email telling me that a film Mark McKinney did (was it a year or two ago) called Jacob Two Two Meets The Hooded Fang, will be airing on HBO, August 16, 2002 at 6 a.m. EST (7 a.m. CST). Get your vcrs ready!
In theatres now, listen to Kevin McDonald doing the voice of Pleakley in Disney's Lilo & Stitch.
Are you planning to go to the Montreal JUST FOR LAUGHS Comedy festival in July? You might want to get your tickets to see Mark McKinney in Fully Committed while you are there. It's part of the comedy festival. July 3&4 are already sold out. Get your tickets today. One of these years I really need to save up to do the Montreal thing. For those of you who get to attend, I salute you!
ACK! I'm losing my touch! The May 12th concert in Vancouver was suppose to be a Pay-Per-View special. Since I don't know exactly how PPV works, I don't know if the special is long over or if HBO will offer it up later. UPDATE: Look for the Pay-Per-View special to come on around mid-September of 2002.
Look for Bruce McCulloch's new cd called the Drunk Baby Project. He also has a web domain. Look for more info on Brucio.com when they get to it.
Another petition... this one for people who want more extras on the upcoming Brain Candy dvd. Supposedly there are no extras. Go Here and have you voice heard.
Miracle of miracles... You can preorder a copy of Kids in the Hall Brain Candy. It's scheduled for release on July 16, 2002! Cool beans!
There's an online petition asking Broadway Video to consider putting episodes of The Kids in the Hall on DVD. You can sign the petion here: http://www.petitiononline.com/kithdvd/petition.html.
April 16th is when you can buy the Kids in the Hall Documentary, Same Guys, Different Dresses. If you want you can pre-order from Amazon now. Although I've heard that if you go to their shows, you can pick up a copy there.
March 25th, Kids in the Hall fans will be able to see them on the Open Mike with Mike Bullard show! Get your vcrs ready Toronto viewers!
I've been told if you buy the dvd version of Clerks The Animated Series you will get to hear and see interviews with Kevin McDonald and Mark McKinney who had parts on the short-lived tv series.

Have I mentioned that I love Ade? Here's the only Kids in the Hall Date on Ticketmaster Canada.
Don't forget to check Dave Foley out on Just Shoot Me on March 7th!
One more... Look for the movie Blast From the Past to be playing on TBS's Dinner and Movie on Monday, January 21st. Dave Foley is going to be their guest! That's Monday 8 p.m. Eastern/7:00 p.m. Central.
I can't call it a rumor anymore, but I can't give absolute details because I have none. But there will be a 2002 Kids in the Hall tour! Dates are tentatively set for March through May 2002. And the troupe has gotten together and are writing new material. If I hear more, I'll pass it on.
Look for Scott Thompson in Alanis Morrissette's new video, Hands Clean.
SPOON! Finally, I have a date when Dave Foley will be guest starring on the Fox show The Tick. Look for the Arthur, Interrupted episode on January 24th at 8:30 pm EST/7:30 pm CST. Dave will also be on an upcoming episode of Just Shoot Me soon.
HEADS UP FOLKS IN THE TORONTO AREA: NOW is having a Scott Thompson Contest. Check it out. It starts on January 10th.
BEST NEWS!!!! Scott Thompson's The Lowest Show on Earth, one-man show will be returning to Toronto, January 23rd at the New Yorker Theatre on Yonge Street for 2-3 weeks. I'll give more details, when I find it. Imagine that. I believe Mark McKinney's play, Fully Committed, will still be running. So you could have a nice Kids in the Theatre kind of good time!
Tuesday, Dec. 11th... Check Kevin out on That 70s Show on FOX, 7 pm CST/8 pm EST. He's reprising his youth minister role.
Dave Foley will be on ABC's Politically Incorrect with Bill Maher, Thursday, Dec. 6th Eeps. Or was that yesterday? (Dec. 5th?). It was Friday. Oh well...
Look for Dave Foley and Kevin McDonald, Friday, Dec. 7th on HBO comedy special called Sketch Pad. This program should be repeated Tuesday, Dec. 11th.
Back to Mark's play, which I mentioned a while ago, but forgot the name of. It's called Fully Committed. This link takes you to ticketmaster.ca so you can get information on tickets. It looks like it will be playing for quite a while at the Winter Garden Theatre. If you're in the area, check it out.
Look for Scott Thompson on THE WEAKEST LINK on Monday, November 19, 2001, on NBC. Hey, at least this one is early for ME. I only discovered by accident that Comedy Central was showing Kevin McDonald's movie, The Godson on November 18th.
I'm a BAD updater. You can find Dave Foley on the CBS series, BECKER on Monday, Nov. 12th at 8:30 PM Central/ 9:30 PM Eastern. He will also be making an appearance on the new series, THE TICK, but I'm not sure if it's this week, Nov. 15th or the next Thursday it would be on FOX at 7:30 PM Central/8:30 PM Eastern
Mark McKinney is also in a play in Toronto. But I don't have the info here, I'll update this part tomorrow.
Not surprisingly, Scott Thompson's Lowest Show on Earth's New York dates have been cancelled.
Here's some Bruce McCulloch news from ZENtertainment: McCULLOCH MAY DIRECT 'EVE' REMAKE--According to The HOLLYWOOD REPORTER, Bruce McCulloch from KIDS IN THE HALL is in negotiations to direct a remake of the 1941 comedy IT STARTED WITH EVE for UNIVERSAL-based IMAGINE Entertainment. The comedy involves a young man who asks a woman to pose as his fiancée to please his dying father, but problems arise when the father's health begins to get better. McCulloch recently wrapped production on the Tom Green comedy THE PROMISE, which had previously been titled STEALING STANFORD.
I hope you people who are going to the Just For Laughs Comedy Festival will find time July 19-20th to see the Canadian Premiere of KIDS IN THE HALL: SAME GUYS, NEW DRESSES at the Cinema Le Parisien. I am so envious! Have a great time. Then go see Scott's show!
It's a Piss-Poor substitute I know-- But it's the best I could do for the moment. It's my very cheesy More Scott Dates info page. It's piss-poor because I'm lacking in information of where to call for tickets or even what theaters Scott will be performing. Honestly if you know more details, e-mail me.Updated: 19 June 2001
Does Scott Know How to Dazzle a Crowd or What? Scott Thompson had the thrill, nay the honor of being thrown out in the middle of performing at a Poetry Prize Gala. Umm ... didn't these people know that Scott is fabulous because he is outrageous? You may have to click on refresh to get this article because sometimes the server is busy.
DATELINE: 29 May 2001 ... The First confirmed dates of Scott Thompson's One-Man Show entitled: The Lowest Show On The Earth! See Scott at the Just For Laughs Festival in Montreal. These are the dates for Montreal that I've gleamed so far, with the help of Kitana!
Sorry but I didn't know until last week that Bruce McCulloch was a regular on the Showtime series, Further Tales of the City which just wrapped up this past weekend. Nor do I know if Bruce is really planning a comedy tour, but if you search TicketMaster, they seem to think there will be one, but there are no details as of yet.
Roadtrip to Dallas anyone? You can get your tickets to see The Kids in the Hall Documentary, Same Guys Different Dresses at the USA Film Festival in Dallas on May 1st. Grab them tickets while the getting's good!
Me being a slug again. Looks like I missed Kevin McDonald on last night's edition of That 70's Show (April 17 for you and me). He reprised his role as the minister from last season. The episode was entitled Holy Craps (which is my feeling when someone e-mailed me to tell me about his appearance after the fact). Looks like I'll have to look for it in re-runs.
Looks like you might be able to catch Dave Foley working for Fox. Read thisHollywood Reporter story about a series called What's Up, Peter Fuddy?
It's the little things indeed. Still no distributor that I know of as of yet, but at least the Kids Documentary has merited a listing in the Internet Movie Database! Dave Foley gets a Director credit on it. Cool beans!
Ah Crap! Looks like I just missed Scott Thompson on the April 10th edition of Dharma & Greg. He played a waiter who had a one man show and was dressed as Greg's mother Kitty for that performance. How do I know this? I walked in the room where my sister was watching the program actually, I was watching the credits while talking to her only to say, "Scott Thompson was on? Why the hell didn't you tell me!" Sigh, I'm really going to have to go back reading the newsgroups more often. I'm turning into a slug!
Best reason to go wandering other places this summer: I have it on very good authority that Scott Thompson and Paul Bellini have been in the process of writing to put together a one man show for Scott! Given that it IS Scott, expect it to be irreverent and just plain old hilarious! So far I know of two cities that have been tentatively chosen: Denver, Colorado possibly in June and West Palm Beach, Florida in July. The dates will remain tentative until more details come to light, and as I learn more, I'll post here! He is also looking to perform at Montreal's Just For Laughs Festival, again that's tentative. Last I've heard from someone who asked Scott point blank is he plans to start the tour in Montreal and work his way through Canada and the U.S. , wrapping it up in Toronto. Again, if I learn actual dates and times, I'll let you know.
Houston, We have a documentary but no distributor! Remember Darrin, the guy who was at all the Kids in the Hall shows with the videocamera taping the whole thing ... fans and all. We all knew something had to happen to that video. It has finally been crafted into a fine documentary entitled: Same Guys, Different Dresses. It premiered last month at the Aspen Comedy Festival. Unfortunately, this film doesn't have a distributor yet, so when will the rest of us too poor to travel to Aspen, Colorado get to see this film? Well, is anyone out there a distributor willing to make a deal?
Want to spend an evening with Dave Foley, Kevin McDonald and other funny Canadian Comedians? Check out the Humber College Benefit coming up April 2nd.Want to hear my micro-mini review of it? Read My Lame Review.
Scott Thompson has become a recurring character on the NBC show,Providence. Glad someone told me of this because it's not a show that I think I've ever sat down to watch ... um ever! Good for you Scott!
Color me in the OOPS column. It seems that Mark McKinney was also on television recently. He was on an episode of Third Rock from the Sun. I think I was told he played the "child" that Harry and Sally wanted to adopt. Guess I'll be looking for that in repeats, eh?
Of course everyone should know this by now if you've been watching the ads and previews that Monkeybone opens in theatres on February 23rd. Check out these related sites, monkeybone.com and bitemymonkey.com. The film certainly has a Tim Burtonesque look to it don't you think? Look for Dave Foley to be naked in this!
Well, hot damn! It only took what eleven years, but there is now FINALLY an Official Kids in the Hall Web Page! It's a joint venture with Comedyworld and Comedy Central. Go here to hear Scott's Dear Eminem song, catch up with the Comedyworld projects and chat with other KITH fans. It's the site I've always wanted to create if I had all the insider dirt and what-not. Go. Go NOW!
Well at the present time there isn't a lot going on....
*Scott Thompson was recently filming a project over at Kevin McDonald's old alma mater, Humber College. I don't have details on what the film is about or who was in it. This came from a student of the College who passed this tidbit on.
*Scott Thompson also has a song bashing Enimen that you can listen to on SoundBreak.com
