David Liebe Hart with the puppet I suspect Tim and Eric are holding hostage. True story.

David Liebe Hart’s strange ascent to notoriety began with a Los Angeles Public Access television program that taught children about Christian Science with the use of awkward puppet “Chip the Black Boy,” strange skits, and his own musical compositions. It is, to put it lightly, fucking nuts, yet charming in its earnestness.

Here’s a taste.

…yep.

Last Thursday, Hart called in to Alternative to Sleep, local comedian Ethan Ullman’s weekly comedy talk show program that airs Thursday nights at 10pm on WCDB in Albany and nationally on the Comedy Pipe network.

Almost immediately Hart asked people to send him money. It’s not begging, he explains to the listeners and his family members, because in exchange he’ll send them his drawings and used clothes(!). He then asks Ethan to register copyrights for his song, which a confused Ethan finally conceded to investigate. In addition to other aspects of his career and life, Hart confirms he’s not on the next season of “Tim and Eric,” claiming they never returned his phone calls and are holding one of his puppets hostage until he repays them for a $500 loan they gave him(!!!).

GUYS. TIM AND ERIC ARE HOLDING HIS PUPPET HOSTAGE.

You have to hear this. Even if you’re not a fan of his appearances on Tim and Eric Awesome Show,  Great Job!, you’ll appreciate it for the awkwardness of poor Ethan suddenly being harangued into being Hart’s personal assistant.
