    "At under 85 calories per finger…"
    That's an odd way of saying 84 calories.

    Stop me if you've heard this one
    Tom Green & The Diceman walk into a bar…

    Inscrutable!

    Recycled Programming
    Mo Rocca already beat Jerry to the punch. He hosted a 2004 show on Bravo called Things I Hate About You. From IMDB:

    Sheen on Fashion
    "You wear too much eye make-up. My sister wears too much. People think she's a whore."

    Cash Cab (sort of related)
    One of the nice things about Cash Cab's Mobile Shout Out is the element of surprise. Unless the friend is already at a computer, there's not enough time to use Google. By the way, I'd love to see an interview with Ben Bailey on the AV Club that addresses the logistics of the show.

    Plot Hole?
    Toby was at Kelly's birthday party, but shouldn't he have been at the HR Retreat with Holly? That seems like a missed opportunity for the two of them to talk about Michael.

    Why did Carla cross the road?
    She was stapled to Dufresne.

    You want to talk a waste of money? The covers on those used books from Amazon might be in color, and I'm colorblind. I say "Good day" to that idea. I'll stick to electronic gizmo gadget that makes reading as easy as holding a giant clipboard.

    You must have missed the first few seconds of the broadcast that featured the GE Monogram range.

    Production Timeline
    "I assume that the taping of this show isn't so that she saw her audition on TV before Hollywood week."

    Well played, Michel Clayton. Once again, the Internet has gotten the best of me.

    It was Viva Variety, but I can understand the confusion because the VV set looks just like Conan's. The song performed was Loraine's Car which contains the lyric "telephone, on the telephone." See for yourself: http://tinyurl.com/bgtpjw

    Delicious was definitely Cake Like's best. Nina Hellman was also in the band. She played one of the counselors in Wet Hot American Summer.

    The Shitty Beatles? Are they any good?

    Just awful. I saw an equally bad band name this morning: Hudson Mohawk. I hope both of those show up on the AV Club's 2009 list of Worst Band Names.

    I will miss the way Jeff's head bobs forward whenever a judge says something negative about his food. It's as if he missed what the judge said, so he does a turtle neck movement to get closer to the sound.

    I second easytoplease's statement. Excellent review, Leonard.

    Survivor has cast minor celebrities. The most famous being Jean-Robert Bellande (professional poker player) and Gary Hogaboom, who was outed by another contestant as a pro-football player. Of course, being a recognizable face doesn't mean a whole lot when you're on an island in the middle of nowhere.
