Strangely enough, the guy at the door last night is named O'Brien.  It's SNL writer Mike O'Brien, who you might know from 7 Minutes in Heaven.

I think the room with the photos is kind of ridiculous even after the reveal that the KGB handlers were behind its existence.  It's the kind of thing I imagine that you see a lot in a crime show on CBS.

Speaking of long car rides, has there ever been a mention of the gasoline situation going on in their part of the world? No doubt every drop would be siphoned out of abandoned vehicles as the world collapsed, not to mention the gas stations themselves would go dry in a single day of nation wide panic.

This movie is starting to sound way more exciting than I imagined it in my head.

More a latter day History Channel hater.   But then I caught some of this show and Tood is right, it's not half bad.

Phew, it's not her.  I'd rather see her starve than lower herself to that level.

Did it ever bother anyone else that this show seemed to get credit for being purely improvised when clearly there was some degree of planning done for many of the bits?

And Koski is a spitter.

I'd rather hate watch Robin Williams or Billy Crystal through the cracks between my fingers than endure a Tom Bergeron or Ryan Seacrest type, ie one of the guys you get when you decide you don't really want a host at all.

According to what Mike Gibbons said on Greg Fitzimmon's podcast, it was between Norm and Pete to land the slot and Norm was the frontrunner.  That was 6 months ago.  Mike predicted that meant Pete would eventually land it because anytime Norm gets wind that something big might happen for him he finds a way to sabotage…

I'm looking forward to seeing them drive brand new model year cars for the rest of the series' run.  I would expect nothing less from this show.

I'll never watch Talking Dead because half the time they have someone on that I know would like to be fairly critical of the show in addition to any praise they give it, if they were allowed to be honest.

At least 3 of those things are happening.

In a just and kind world, the next announced host would be John Hamm promoting the Mad Men premiere.  Second prize would be Alec Baldwin, but has nothing to promote. 

I like what Howard Kremer said about her, she's undeniably beautiful,  but she also looks a little bit like she could be character on The Simpsons.

I was hoping Borderlands 2 would get a nomination.  But I have a suspicion that all of the writers on a particular project must be members of the guild for it to qualify for consideration.

What irked me too is that everyone was essentially standing and firing
out in the open when they had available cover within a few feet.

I don't like the Mad TV stuff either.  I could swear they hired everyone involved in bringing a Mad TV skit to air for the prerecorded bits this year.  They need to go weird or comedy musical weird with these segments.

Part of the problem is that this column seems to be getting the lowest possible amount of visibility on the site.  I've only ever seen because it appeared in the RSS feed.

I was sure you were going to say Ben Wa Balls.
