Eric Drysdale is a writer and comedian most will recognize as the stage manager "Bobby" on The Colbert Report (see Bobby as a leprechaun in the clip at the end of this post). Drysdale is also a writer on the show and previously wrote for The Daily Show. In addition, he's performed several times at the UCB Theater and also played with Tammy Faye Starlite, a satirical country band.

However, none of those credits could answer a question that's been nagging at me ever since I first saw Eric/Bobby appear on The Colbert Report: where had I seen this person before? After a bit of Web searching, I finally solved the mystery: in 2000, he appeared on an episode of Premium Blend singing "This Rubik's Cube is Driving Me Crazy," a song he performed under the stage name "Crazy Davis" according to this thread.

Unfortunately, I can't find any video of this performance anywhere, nor any images. Nevertheless, I'm glad to have this particular moiety of mystery beef extracted from between my brain teeth. Also, perhaps some of you couldn't place where you had seen him before, so I hope you feel as relieved as I do to have this mystery solved. If not, at least you learned a little more about the man behind Bobby.

Finally, if any of you can find a video, an MP3, or any kind of image of any kind of Drysdale performing his "Rubik's Cube" song, toss a link into the comments. I'll make sure to edit my post and give you recognition.
