OMFG. We just discovered that Padma Lakshmi took improv comedy classes at Upright Citizens Brigade -and just graduated from UCB's "Level One Intensives", after 4 six-hour classes. She gave her required graduation show the other night - open to the public - and, after searching the internet for video of this event like crazed, horny research monkeys, there's clearly nothing. Oh, a couple of Twitters about it, but no visual evidence.
So this is a call to arms. We MUST have video of Padma doing improv. This is our Lost Ark. Our Holy Grail. WE NEED THIS. If anyone ever sees Padma Lakshmi improvising anywhere, get that on video, and send it to us. remoteisland@nerve.com. Until that glorious day - and Oh, It Will Come - we'll have to content ourselves with this Grub Street recap of the show, which apparently featured her wearing a see-through top and talking about wedgies...
Wearing a see-through top, she giggled through the other team’s
performance, even during a scene about a young girl courting men at an
AARP singles night. (Her date, Teddy Forstmann, didn’t laugh.) When the
“All White and a Little Brown” team took the stage, Padma (presumably
the “little bit of brown”) performed a monologue about being an
“everything but” girl in high school (as were all of her friends). She
talked about skipping school to get drunk with a guy who tried to
figure out what exactly was on the menu: sex, everything but, or
“anything goes.” We learned that a wedgie is called a “murphy” on the
West Coast, and there are different “euphanisms” for oral sex and
handsies, too.
Dear God, we must have this video.
