Adolf Hitler reacts to the news about Leno..
Check out this very funny video of Hitler reacting to Leno's time change…

I just find it hard to want to get into his work, strictly because of his past shows. "The Man Show"? Jesus. It was like the Blue Collar Comedy tour with frat-boy sensibilities. Even as a teenager who loved to see scantily-clad women jumping around, that show was basically unwatchable to me. And "Win Ben Stein's…

The guy is just a genuinely funny person. His ability to just talk and be hilarious is almost unrivaled. And he gets better with every viewing, as you get to know his personality.

If Jay Leno gets the Tonight Show back…
I'm going to start an online movement to stock that first week (or weeks) of shows with Leno-hating Conan fans who boo and jeer and shout facts out and blare foghorns and just basically make the thing unwatchable.

Er…you mean…"First"? Or…"FIRST!!!"

I'll sign that, and get others too as well. Start it, and e-mail it the AV CLUB; they'd probably post it in a heartbeat.

Two minutes, right there, funnier than Jay Leno's entire oeuvre.

Correction: Marty Robbins.

Off the top of my head…
…I went to El Paso, TX just to go to Rose's Cantina, from that old Marty Stewart song, "El Paso"—and I'm glad I did because the next time I went there it seemed to be gone. A dusty half-adobe building with a name emblazoned across its side. No marketing tying it into the song at all.

That looks so cool. Thanks for mentioning that.

I'm glad to hear something good about I AM A GENIUS…. I was under the impression it was a book for younger readers.

First!
to say that STRENGTH IN WHAT REMAINS is a great book.

Why is that movie not bad? I can recall nothing from it but a feeling of total saturation of boredom and tediousness.

Hell yeah to Mysterio. And could an edited, non-Venom/non-emo version of SPIDERMAN 3 be made? Could that movie be made with some aggressive editing and access to deleted scenes? That sounds like cause for an online petition.

My Shakespeare teacher has a great rant he trots out two or three times a semester about the corrosive effects of the PG-13 and R ratings being the worst things that have ever happened to film—because they make 13- and 17-year-olds respectively the decision makers for what goes into movies that all of us watch. It's…

It was a terrible film, made even more so by how great the previous two installments were, and how high my expectations were for it.

Well, it's pretty nice of you, though, God, to get rid of a whole realm of the afterlife when a committee of Catholic scholars decides it doesn't actually exist. What did you do with all those babies, though?

Two of the funniest, and most personal, stand-up bits I've ever heard…
…are from Paul F. Tompkins.

Is that why Gallagher destroys watermelons? Their mediocrity?
