Midnight Snack: Oscar’s Cerveteca with Mike White

Laurenne: What’s it like to be on TV?! You’ve been on now for three weeks? 
Mike: It’s fun. They stick 30 of us in a room. We pitch stories. Everybody throws out jokes. It’s a really hilarious group of people. It’s 6:30 in the morning, and everyone is cranky, but it’s really fun.

Laurenne: Do you feel famous? 
Mike: No way! I don’t see it as a big deal, but I was recognized! I got my haircut, and this barber kept making eye contact with me in the mirror. I was like, ‘Shouldn’t you be, ya know, looking at my hair?’ He grabbed the barber next to him and they were like, ‘Hey! Aren’t you the guy that sits behind the surfer guy on TMZ?’ That’s my new claim to fame: Guy behind the surfer guy.

Laurenne: Guy behind the surfer guy. Right here! 
Mike: It was surreal. I’m actually really shy. I’m on TMZ because it’s a writers’ room and I’m trying to learn how to write better jokes. My goal is not to be famous but to be a comedy writer.

Paul Prudhomme’s St. Louis Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie January 24th is National Peanut Butter Day! To celebrate, we’re sharing this St. Louis Peanut Butter Banana Cream Pie by Paul Prudhomme, one of KCET’s celebrity chefs. Peanut butter, which has been around for as long as there have been humans (though only recently sold in jars rather than strictly homemade), is reportedly always in 90% of North American homes. It is even more popular in St. Louis, the city that popularized the treat in the 1890s as a food for people missing their teeth. Then, in 1904, it was the hottest seller at the St. Louis World’s Fair — and as a people, we are in love with it still. Banana, as everyone from toddlers to Elvis knows, is the perfect accompaniment to peanut butter. This pie combines them both into one perfect dessert. If you haven’t a food processor, a hand blender or extremely strong arms will work just as well. See the recipe here!
