I seriously doubt there is anyone who could sound more like Henson's Kermit because Kermit was basically just Henson's own very distinctive natural voice, pitched a half-octave higher. Whitmire's version has actually become a lot more like Henson over the years. His debut voice was way off… which he readily admits.

Budget restrictions? How much to you think the original show cost to make?

That means something very different in this YouTube age.

Isn't slapping a copyrighted concept on something that involves almost none of the original talent involved very much about trying to cash in on one's glory days?
How is this substantially different than Jim Mallon's brief abortive attempt to make new online videos with the characters but without most of the original…

Since all that started, Stewart has said that he changed his name not because it sounded Jewish, but because he basically hates his father, and didn't want to keep his name.

I'd love to see Vanilla Ice come on and tear some shit up.

That was probably true 3 or 4 years ago, when Stewart was at his peak influence on the zeitgeist. As is often the case with these long farewells, the feting of the person saying goodbye tends to inflate the influence they actually had at the end. The conventional wisdom on Carson and Letterman before their…

Or perhaps partisans can come to grips with the fact that interviews rarely, if ever, turn on a Matlock moment when the black-hatted villain admits all wrongs. Even the real Frost/Nixon wasn't nearly as dramatic as Frost/Nixon.

I know this doesn't matter to anyone but me, but Prairie Home Companion is not and was never an NPR show. NPR repeatedly rejected the program, and another company was started decades ago to distribute it.

In his defense, that's bound to happen when you almost single-handedly write a fully produced two-hour radio program 35 weeks a year.

The first few times I heard Paul Harvey, I literally refused to believe that it was an actual live broadcast with a living human being.

I like the fact that there's someone out there still doing something that approximates live old-time radio. Especially because I can then tell me overly-nostalgic friends, "This is really what you wish you could listen to all day?"

I can tolerate him singing by himself, because it sounds like your elderly uncle who can't carry a tune, but he's still your uncle, you know? But when he insists on trying to harmonize with someone who actually can sing, oh my God.

Nope. I don't know who's doing the voice, but it's definitely not Billy.

I always enjoyed watching the commercials on BET. Say you have a commercial for something like Wrigley's gum that just shows a montage of different people chewing and enjoying the gum. The version they send to BET will be the exact same ad, except they remove all the white people from the montage and just show the…
