People We Wish Went To Penn: Demetri Martin

After the first week of freshman year, the omg-I-go-to-a-school-where-nobel-laureates-hang-with-students-on-Tuesday-nights reaction kind of wears off. Vice President Biden speaking at commencement? Old news. Zach Braff coming on the 25th? Casual. So we don’t even blame you that much for being all, “Who’s that?” when you hear that Demetri Martin is Penning it up next week.

Who is Demetri Martin anyway? He’s written for Conan O’Brien, had his own Comedy Central show, had his own segment on The Daily Show, starred in a Fountains of Wayne video (not that one, unfortunately), and run around naked in a movie about Woodstock. Scratch that—we do kind of blame you. He’s kind of a big deal. We even sort of forgive him for going to Yale.
