Agreed, but how often do you see that from a major network late-night talk show? Even Letterman stopped doing it to anyone other than low-hanging fruit like Trump and Paris Hilton in his latter years. All the questions are usually pre-screened by the talent's publicist, and "gotcha" stuff is hugely frowned upon. Given

This is a great list, but I'm going to add my voice to the chorus calling for "Little Mascara" and "Androgynous." Oh, man, then "Never Mind" and "Skyway," too. Well, I guess I'd better go listen to over an hour of the Replacements, now.

That's kind of how I feel. It's not as if the other option is, "a deep, soul-searching interview in which the celebrity in question reveals some profound inner truth that somehow connects them with both the viewing audience and the larger universe." I'd much rather see the guests pushed slightly out of their comfort

I never thought this would happen but, after watching that performance, for the first time in my life, I LITERALLY can't even. Like, I just can't.

Oh, please, please, please let this be a modern update, with the characters jumping into an iPad app instead of a sidewalk chalk drawing and at least one hip-hop influenced song.

At least we'll always have Dawes.

Everyone loves that song, and yet everyone was all "serves them right" about the cheaters exposed in the Ashley Madison hack. Which is it, America? Are you down with OPP, or not?

I hate summer. This guy must be my nemesis. I feel like Samuel L. Jackson in Unbreakable.

Untruth! I was born in '75 and loved the shit out of the '90s.

Semisonic gets a bum rap. They had a lot of good stuff going on beyond "Closing Time."

I really dug the pilot. It was nice to see someone with the "S" on her chest actually, you know, smiling.

I think the members of Live hate each other, now - or, at least, the other members of Live hate Ed Kowalczyk, and vice versa - which would make that reunion unlikely.

Is there, like, a generational dividing line between those who think of the '90s as the grunge era and those for whom it evokes the likes of the Spice Girls and N'Sync? I remember loving living in Alternative Nation for the first two-thirds of the decade and then realizing it was all coming down when "Wannabe" took

Lake Bell would be the answer to my Question #5. That is all.

The most underrated exchange from Road House:

Not a beloved classic?? The deuce, you say!

Saw it in IMAX 3D the first time around. It's worth it.

On April 11, 1992, I saw Pearl Jam perform "Alive" on Saturday Night Live. The next day, I tracked down a friend who owned the Ten CD, dubbed it to tape, and listened to that song every. single. day. for literally a year. I grew up in a somewhat abusive environment, and it felt, especially during the chorus, like

Honestly, that was the first Clinton that popped into my head when he asked the question.

You know, I love me some NDT, but every time I see him do his thing, I can't help but miss Carl Sagan, who was just the ninja master of making science poetic.
