Well, let's say you're starring in a play. Is it ok for you to show up onstage as Hamlet wearing shorts just 'cuz it's hot outside? I feel it's a respect thing with the audience.<br />But hey, I think Vecchione was actually chewing gum during his Tonight Show set so what do I know?Matt Rubyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15042748088506030894noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938448068751972875.post-8509958923562378902010-08-03T12:26:03.611-04:002010-08-03T12:26:03.611-04:00Matt, I was picturing the giant can headphones, bu...Matt, I was picturing the giant can headphones, but I don't find those as annoying as the tiny iPod headphones.

I have seen that exactly once -- from a comedian who was also playing a DJ, so it made sense. That doesn't sound like a real thing, honestly. <br /><br />(But if true, it would be several times worse than a comedian wearing shorts and/or sandals, which might be a thing that comedian actually wears. There's no reason why a comedian wouldn't be able to take of his/her headphones.)ECNnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-938448068751972875.post-73618264535925985292010-08-02T17:25:42.127-04:002010-08-02T17:25:42.127-04:00Nick, you are exempt.
