In December, I wrote about Chris Gethard's efforts to get Diddy to appear on his monthly live comedy show and how Diddy had agreed to appear on the show in January. That night was tonight and the show began about a half hour ago at New York's UCB Theatre.

First and foremost, congrats to Mr. Gethard. As I mentioned in that previous story, I really admire the way he went at this whole idea - there was a sense of humility and good nature here that, unfortunately, we don't see enough. He earned this night and I hope it's a great one.

Gethard penned an article at Spitsider where he reflects on the whole 13 month long journey and his interactions with Diddy. It's a great read.
