Didn't they try to do that with that other girl (Jordan?), who Will Ferrell's character hired as his personal assistant, too?

I haven't seen a new episode in a while, but the main reason to watch is when they do a show about whatever nerdy hobby or subculture you personally happen to be into: "Hey, a Comicon episode!" or "Hey, Wil Wheaton's in this one."

Raise your hand if you caught yourself saying it out loud during that scene, too.

I got a distinct Will-Ferrell-playing-George-W-Bush vibe, myself.

I thought this was a good April episode. Her character has seemed to have softened in the last several episodes; it was good to see her being out-and-out snarky again.

That's got to be tough to write, though, because a real person is actually going to know tons of things just because they heard it once, without a story behind it or a direct connection to their five most defining personality traits. Whether or not you know the answer to a trivia question is ultimately pretty random,…

Call me crazy, I like Hydrox better than Oreos.

In other words, yet another missed opportunity. If the show's not going to give the replacement an actual personality (or even any lines), why bother to fill Pam's slot at all?

Yeah, ESPN and ESPN Classic were already covered by Jim and Darryl.

As for trivia questions that connect with a contestant's limited knowledge, Cliff Clavin's "Jeopardy" categories come to mind: "Civil Servants," "Stamps from Around the World," "Mothers and Sons," "Beer," "Bar Trivia," and "Celibacy."

@avclub-12c587c9ed3b9edc910316b5954e12c5:disqus  I'm pretty sure Ben Stein doesn't believe in Jeebus. Fundamentalists can be Jewish, too, it turns out.

this show SUUUUUUCKED

I saw this DVD up by the checkout at Target and I was like WHAAAA

They should do one of these, but for pornos

Also, a fun fact is that Bill Watterson was offered the job first, but turned it down!

I agree with everything you just said! That sounds great to me. I'm sure nothing bad can come from stating my enthusiasm for your idea in such a non-specific manner.

Anyone here listen to The Sporkful? I discovered it when Marc Maron was a guest (and plugged it on WTF) and I've been hooked ever since.

But those dinosaurs are obviously Siskel and Ebert parodies, right?

I was waiting for someone to mention "Run Devil Run" on here. I kinda liked that album.

For my money, Tales From The Crypt #41 is the best comic book cover of all time.
