He is Nick Stevens AKA Paul "Fitzy" Fitzgerald AKA Mr. Townie News AKA my favorite Boston-based comedian. I first heard of Nick when a friend of mine sent me a link to his site: www.townienews.com, where I heard all things Red Sox/Tom Brady and thought it was the best thing evah. I then turned on VH1 and saw Mr. Stevens on Best Week Evah, and then finally I saw a clip that took me back to ESPN circa 2004 and the show Dreamjob. Nick was a contestant on the show that was looking for the next SportsCenter anchor. If I recall correctly, the winner went on to fame, fortune, and a gig as the main anchor on SportsCenter in Kazachstan. Good gig.
So fast fowahd to 2010, and low and behold I'm attending a taping of '12 Angry Mascots' at Comix, and Mr. Stevens comes out with his faux sports anchor and does a comedy bit. It was at that point that I said to myself - I am going to find this guy and chat with him on video camera in the basement of Grand Central Terminal - on Eastah Sunday. And I did just that.
