I find myself nostalgic for the days when being a Playmate could turn someone into a household name.

1995 is too early to kill off Madonna; "Ray of Light" was okay. Everything since "Music," though, should rightfully be erased from the public consciousness.

"This Is How We Do It," by Montell Jordan.

Didn't this past episode establish the correct spelling as Benny Ǝz?

"With Special Guest…" has become delightfully unhinged since the start of its run, and it's a testament to how well-prepared the guest hosts are in embracing the concept, as well as how game a performer Lauren is handling all that is thrown her way.

Peak Mariah Carey pre-hot mess hotness was achieved with the "cropped sweatshirt, short shorts, and roller skates" look from the "Fantasy" video.

Yeah, that was an addicting video game.

Looks like a Linda to me.

ESPN firing Bill Simmons has left an opening in my podcast rotation, and I'm thisclose to biting the bullet on the Dollop.

The Monstars weren't built to built to beat Michael Jordan, they were built to beat the Looney Tunes. You can't teach tall.

To rationalize that statistic, it's the same thing the killjoys who hate fun say about NFL players.

Meh, I was always a Kraft Macaroni and Cheese kid. (Still am.)

This song should have been on this year's AV Undercover set list.

When I sang choir in the seventh grade, that song (with Coke references expunged) was our closing number in competitions.

I said it immediately after Hobart's "Co-Ca-Co-La" speech during the Sterling Cooper West pitch; the earliest suggestion that's how it would end would appear to surface the day after that episode aired.
