TMS Introduces New 'Humor Hotel' Package

CHICAGO, Feb. 25 /PRNewswire/ -- For something completely new on the humor scene, TMS introduces guaranteed entertainment from four talented writers in its new content package, Humor Hotel. Hotel "guests" include actress Diane Farr, comedian/writer/director Michael Showalter, columnist and talk-show host Mark Bazer and best-selling humor author Jen Lancaster.

Each week, TMS' Humor Hotel plays host to one of these talked-about writers. Their 600-word columns will rotate through the package, covering pop culture, social networking, current events, relationships, the workplace, personal narratives and some out-the-blue takes on contemporary society. They'll make a four-star connection with readers navigating the vagaries and absurdities of day-to-day life.

Diane Farr: Best known for her appearances on TV's "Californication," "Numb3rs" and "Rescue Me," Farr is also the author of the best-seller "The Girl Code" and writes for many national magazines, including Mademoiselle, Marie Claire and GQ.

Michael Showalter: Multitalented Showalter has made a mark on cutting-edge TV shows for MTV, CBS and Comedy Central. His comedy and writing can also be seen in feature films "The Baxter" and "Wet Hot American Summer."

Mark Bazer: A nationally syndicated columnist who examines cultural trends, politics and the eccentricities of family life with a dry wit and unexpected perspective, Bazer also hosts Chicago's popular live "The Interview Show" and guest hosts on WGN radio.
