- This one’s an older interview (as Kevin mentions the old August release date), but you can visit YouTube for an audio version of a radio appearance that Kevin did with “The Rise Guys” to chat up Clerks II. The 8 minute interview is audio only, just with a still shot which we suppose allowed it to be uploaded to YouTube, which typically serves up video. The guys in the studio are fans, which makes for a fine piece. Enjoy.

- Attention Montreal! You’ve now got a chance to see Clerks II a few days early — We hear that the “Just For Laughs” Festival will have the film on July 18th, though the website’s schedule still doesn’t have any official mention of it. If you’re gonna be there, check with the box office.
- According to TV Guide and Tivo, Kevin is scheduled to appear on the Tavis Smiley Show on July 13th. Check your local PBS station listings for airtime. We assume this is a new appearance to promo Clerks II, and not a rerun of his appearance on the program a while back.
- Today’s most popular submission is a humor piece — Seems that someone has re-written The Lord of the Rings “Council of Elrond” scene as if it were done through Kevin’s unique storytelling voice. It’s featured on the first page of this article HERE. Future pages take on the demeanor of other famous directors.
- While Jason and Ethan sadly got overlooked for “My Name Is Earl” in this year’s Emmy nominations (they were robbed, we say) Jaime Pressly did score a nod — Other notable Askew vets include Jon Stewart (as always) for The Daily Show, and George Carlin’s HBO special “Life Is Worth Losing”. Another Askew vet Alec Baldwin, Leonardo Leonardo himself, also up for an Emmy nod for his guest starring stint on Will and Grace.
- We’re hearing that the book “In-Convenience: The View Askewniverse From Clerks To Clerks II”, which collects all Kevin’s scripts, will arrive in February 2007.
- Here’s the final cover art for “Bottoms Up”, starring Paris Hilton and Jason Mewes. Sony will release the flick on the 12th of September. And hey, is that Kevin we see on the lower left, as well? We do recall reporting that he shot a cameo for the flick…
- Askew vet Shannen Doherty will fill in as a co-host on chick talk show The View later this month (July 31st and August 1st to be exact). Her new reality show “Breaking Up With Shannen Doherty” premieres on the Oxygen network next month.
- Here’s a one-page back-up gag from the first issue of “Ursa Minors!” a June release from SLG Comics, found by Britt Schramm’s “The Beginning is the End is the Beginning” column over at Quick Stop Entertainment. Click the thumbnail for a full size view.
- On Sunday, August 13th, at 9:00pm, Marcus Theaters in Orland Park, Illinois will be showing the original Clerks on the big screen as part of its summer flashback specials. It’s a one-time only showing. If you’re in the area, it’s bound to be a blast. Clerks never disappoints with a crowd on the big screen.
