Emmy party recap: Comedy Central gets funky at the Falcon
The post-Emmy Comedy Central party at the Falcon featured a lavish buffet and a very funny crowd, but by the time this reporter left at nearly 11 p.m. the network's biggest stars, Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Sarah Silverman, were nowhere to be seen. (Although their visages towered above the back patio on a Comedy Central billboard.)
We did rub shoulders with Demetri Martin of "Important Things With Demetri Martin," and Steve Agee and Brian Posehn of "The Sarah Silverman Program," but we were most excited to run into Jay Johnston, who plays Officer Jay McPherson on the show. His mustache, which looks like a small, furry animal, was a thing of beauty in person.
It's also the source of many of his jokes. "I was combing it the other day, and the comb slipped and almost pierced my lip," he said, thoughtfully stroking it.
