Tomorrow is a day most of us have been looking forward to, or dreading, depending on the mood you are in right now as we are this close to Election Day. As a place you come to for a place of escape as detailed by a slogan I've taken ownership of since March - "The Escape You Deserve", we don't really need to elaborate on that title above... but one aspect of American society which has taken full advantage of this situation we are in has been the world of comedy. And judging by the playful jabs and jokes that Stephen Colbert and other late night talk show hosts have given us before bed all during this tough year, then they have treated this campaign and lead-up to tomorrow as a daily field day.

Making you laugh has been a regular fixture of this DCBLOG ExtraTime series, including the instances of online pranksters hanging out with MTV'ers, the lighter moments involving these people, and what we got planned next in showing those hilarious costumes from back on Halloween on Saturday night. And someone who's been a frequent subject on here has been the resident comedian of the show that brought me into watching romantic reality TV: John Jacobs was part of the first Are You The One? cast and paved the way for other shows to join The Challenge when he was on Battle of the Exes 2, but we've featured JJ many times here including his Tampa News Force YouTube satire series.

Two years ago, we had another comedian take a break from telling jokes to head to the one show where the hopes of a perfect match and a million dollars can live or die by lasers and lights. And just recently, that man got to do what he does best in front of a couple NBA stars and in two places he calls home: the stand-up stage and in the place he grew up in - the East Bay of the San Francisco Bay Area.
