Two uses of Beatles songs on TV I can think of off the top of my head: In the "Fall Out" episode of "The Prisoner," "All You Need Is Love" is used. "A Little Help From My Friends" is used in the PBS TV movie "The Lathe of Heaven." I think it's one of the reasons it took so long to wind up on DVD—where it's replaced by…

She really deserves more credit than she gets for being funny. She's terrific in her "30 Rock" appearances, and I was hoping to hear more about her stint on Tracey Ullman's old show on Fox, on which she was a semi-regular.

Hm. Either Mel Brooks believed an urban legend about his own film, or Cloris is confused the source of that Blucher/glue thing. Snopes debunked that one years ago: http://bit.ly/1kqE8g

If PhiPhi wins, I'm moving to Canada.

Chris Kattan is actually pretty funny in "Monkey Bone."
