"...I will disembowel you."
From Friday's Asbury Park Press... IT'S NOT A WONDERFUL LIFE
But it's pretty funny to Christopher TitusBy Ed Kaz!
Comedy CorrespondentChristopher Titus' many demons are simply hecklers to be dealt with. For three seasons
his horrendously dysfunctional upbringing became fodder for laughs on his Fox sitcom "Titus." The show explored the darkest side of family life; the result was a weekly dose of primal therapy to both viewer and creator. Titus brings his uncompromisingly hilarious act to the stage of New Brunswick's Stress Factory this weekend.KAZ!: Your series "Titus" was in my opinion one of the funniest sitcoms ever. Would you ever consider getting back into a regular TV series?
TITUS: I've sold five ideas since "Titus" so TV is something I still want. Spoiler Alert: I have a meeting with FOX on Tuesday and will find out if they are okaying a series based on (stand up act) "Love is Evol" My ex will be pissed.
KAZ!: At what age did you realize you were funny?
TITUS: Five. When I told my first joke to my dad's friends about how many girls he was sleeping with.
KAZ!: Is everything I read about you on Wikipedia true?
TITUS: Yes everything on Wikipedia is dead on, including the alien baby and the sex change operation.
KAZ!: What is the absolute worst gig you ever had?
TITUS: Besides this? Macon Georgia, around 1995. I jumped on a woman heckler who wouldn't look at the stage. Then found out she was blind.
KAZ!: What is the absolute best gig you ever had?
TITUS: Writing, starring, and producing "Titus" but it's second to being a single dad, he says weepingly.
KAZ!: Are you a good heckler handler? Got any heckler-handling tips?
TITUS: This is not a challenge but I excel at hecklers. I've been doing this since I was eighteen. I will disembowel you.
KAZ!: What's your favorite cake?
TITUS: Yellow cake uranium because I could sell it to Iran or North Korea and retire on my treasonous profit.
KAZ!: What do you love the most about New Brunswick, New Jersey?
TITUS: Where?

I've always liked him also
Titus' show was indeed one of the greatest sitcoms ever. I was enthralled from the very first time I stumbled across it. I had been watching a nature show, and was channel-surfing during the pledge-drive. I never went back to see how the Marmot family fared in the flood, like Titus would give squat.
