See me on PBS throughout the month of June
Yes, that’s right, I’ll be on your TV! I make a special cameo appearance during the TV special Carole King/James Taylor Live at the Troubadour!*
Check your local PBS station for air dates. It airs here in Los Angeles on KCET tonight June 5 at 10:30 PM and tomorrow night June 6 at 11:00 PM. It airs in Boston on WGBH tonight June 5 at 9:00 PM.
*OK, you can see me in the audience for 5 whole seconds during the second song, “So Far Away”. So, cameo might be overstating it. Also seen in the crowd: my wife Nahleen right in front of me, and behind us the very funny Greg Benson of Mediocre Films.
Someone uploaded it to YouTube, probably through ethically and legally dubious means of which I heartily disapprove. You can see us starting at 43 seconds in.
Update: Three still pictures from the video have been posted.

About Corey

As a comic book pundit, advocate and educator, he runs the web-magazine The Comics Observer, which covers the sequential art form and its place in our culture, both locally and internationally. It exists as a gateway to curious non-readers or new comics readers interested in the full spectrum of comics, as well as a place for longtime readers looking for a new perspective. He also advises for the award-winning documentary and comics advocacy movement Dig Comics.
As a comedic performer/actor, he specializes in being a goofball.
Corey is an active member of the Los Angeles-based improv comedy ensemble The Magic Meathands. He helped form the sketch comedy group Foe Pa following a memorable stint with The 3rd Floor: LA. Corey has been seen in online videos from The Jeff Lewis 5-Minute Comedy Hour (Best Web Comedy-Episodic, Clicker.com), The Starmind Record, and Poopdog Entertainment, short films Tough Love (Official Selection, Festival de Cannes’ Short Film Corner) and Hattie Needs Rehab (Excellence in Performance, Extreme Filmmaker 48 Hour Film Festival), the feature film Chasing Happiness, and the pilot for the children’s show “Imagination Station”, as well as on stage in an award-winning Los Angeles production of Chekov’s Three Sisters and Shakespeare’s Midsummer Night’s Dream.
Corey Blake also has experience behind the camera. He writes comedy sketches and directs and produces videos for the Magic Meathands Originals sketch web-series. He wrote for the sketch comedy groups Foe Pa and The 3rd Floor: LA. He was a writer for the musical comedy Mission: Improbable, which he also helped produce.

Very nice! Would you like that frame sequence as “stills?” I mean just isolated picture?
Yes, it would be awesome to have one or two stills, if possible. Thank you very much!
