We poked around the story, but those big shots at the New Yorker got to the bottom of the mystery of the skull of Second City and i.O. improv guru Del Close. Was it really bequeathed to the Goodman Theater? Has it starred in Hamlet? Charna Halpern finally spilled the beans.

Speaking of New York, Chicago/NYC comedian Mike Burns (oh, sorry, Caleb Hodgekiss) failed to auction a dinner date with himself and The Colonel on eBay. Don't take it personally, Caleb, maybe it's more a matter of cole slaw than charisma.

Better than the Monkees. The Clapkees. Do they play their own instruments? Who cares! They clap like nobody's business.
