Hi, now you can talk to me, Mike About's Beloved Humor Boy Durrett, at home just like professional telemarketers do! Although, for what I'm charging, you may drop the "Mr. Durrett" or "Sir Michael." And I'll do my bestest not to slam down the receiver on you.

It'll be swell. I need a new garage, so call often, stay late!

Here's the sales pitch:

Looking for funny stuff on your computer or TV? Trying to recall a comedian or great movie? Need a sympathetic, trained ear to polish that joke you're working on for a speech? Call me.

I'm in my fourth year of directing our vast About Humor community of fun-seekers to the nuttiest Internet pages, research destinations and entertainment news, plus I referee Comedy conversations and author original Humor and time killers.

I've been soaking up Comedy since my earliest memories. (My clothes are fashioned from Bounty towels to avoid giggle puddles.)

I was class clown, kindergarten through college. (I had no choice. There wasn't an opening for class haberdasher.)

In my adult life, I've worked as a major market morning radio goofball and a writing contributor to Joan Rivers, Howard Stern, Gary Owens and other personalities across North America. I've been in films you never heard of and studied acting, commercial voice-overs, and comedy improvisation. I don a shower cap during spit-takes.

I'm here to answer your questions or point you in the right direction. If you just want to gab, that's fine with me, too. My favorite areas of Comedy include the movies from that ancient bygone era known as the 20th century, plus classic comedians and TV series.

Please don't phone me expecting a little show of jokes and songs and rollerblading gophers. I don't do that, and I don't have a photographic memory of every gag ever told. I have enough trouble remembering to swallow.

These topics are infinite and many questions may require additional research, but I'll do my darndest to be helpful and entertaining.

Oh. Ask me what I'm wearing.
