Bobby Lee

Comedian Bobby Lee, best known for his work on Mad TV, is one funny dude. You can totally tell from his MySpace template.

One of the editors at UCLA's "Asia Pacific Arts" project turned me on to
this new online video of an interview with Lee, in which he makes funny faces, hacks, farts, and explains why parodies of Korean telenovelas inexplicably yet consistently make for such terrific sketch comedy.

SF Gate columnist Jeff Yang (who I met by phone today, in the context of a different story) recently wrote a column about Bobby Lee's current blowing-up-edness. Link to Yang's April 10 piece, "Mad Man." Lee has a role in a forthcoming film about breakdancing, and there's some kind of new Comedy Central TV thing in the works or something.

There is a lot of him on YouTube: Link.
