Pre-Game Fun With the "Four Horsemen" at ND


Comedic star Bill Burr was at our home prior to the USC vs. ND game yesterday along with fellow comedians; Paul Virzi, Joe Bartnick and Jason Lawhead -- AKA "The Four Horsemen."

They along with the NFL Players Association's Willis Whalen and film producer Ben Tishler (Notre Dame "Fighting For" TV spots) were here at Notre Dame to see the Fighting Irish beat the Trojans.  As you can see from the photos, my family had a great time hosting these guys.

The bottom photo shows Bill holding court -- he was telling the story of appearing in Jerry Seinfeld's "Comedians in Cars Getting Coffee" -- with ND alums Jimmy Small '08 and Dan Dunne '08. 

Top photo L to R:  Joe Bartnick, Paul Virzi, Bill Burr and Jason Lawhead.

The four comedians begin their tour tomorrow in Fort Wayne, IN -- leading up to a big date at Madison Square Garden on November 14th.  The tour schedule is linked below:
