I just wanted to mention the wonderfully absurd little interview piece David Byrne made to promote Stop Making Sense…
(It's like 60 Minutes on acid.)

Veteran comedians and shitty musical guests!

I think the conceit of the sketch was sort of that each family member was even more specifically just a character from a film he'd made. The first two were just generally Carrey-esque and it escalated from there. The Mask would've been the most absurd example, but Jeff Daniels came in last since that was a cameo… I…

You are apparently correct. He was actually a recurring "Special Guest Star" during the Wayans-less fifth and final season. In my defense I was fairly young when the show was on and simply remember him being on multiple times.

I need to get around to seeing Frances Ha as well, it's been on my queue since it first arrived on Netflix. Not sure why you'd label it "Mumblecore", but again I haven't seen it.

Maybe it's just my disdain for most modern pop music, but it seems like you only really get a compelling host & musical guest combination once or twice a season anymore.

I don't care if it had to be shoehorned in under the lame conceit that he was dressed as 'Helvis' for Halloween, seeing Carrey sing Pecan Pie again was great! And I unabashedly enjoyed the Lincoln ads. This is probably as good as this show gets these days. I could have happily lived without ever being directly exposed…

I've been binge-watching Mad Men season 7 on DVD which thankfully contains Audio Commentaries. The show had once contained some of the most insightful commentary tracks anywhere, in my opinion, but they were mysteriously absent from season 6. They don't acknowledge this during the new commentaries (which are bizarrely…

Punk rock died when the first kid said, 'Punk's not dead… punk's not dead.'

Sigh. …Leno's band leader was named Kevin. Kevin Eubanks.

I've never understood it either, it's like someone's blog is inexplicably on The AV Club… but they always seem to get tons of comments, so what do I know…

I've never really understood the idea of wanting an autograph… I think now everyone just wants to get a picture with someone, given the proliferation of camera phones…

Like whose?

You know, the commercial for The Avengers: Age of Ultron has leaked… and I for one would rather read pithy comments about that…

You will continue with your singing, Susan. I don't propose to have myself made ridiculous.

I'm sorry, the correct answer is: Why?!? I knew John C. Reilly. John C. Reilly was a friend of mine. Messina, You're no John C. Reilly.

No, It's still Michaels, he was just photographed eating a lemon.

Wait… Jon Lovitz is gay?!?

I just typed this above more humorously, but I can't buy this… Unless there were some reason for them to be revealing all of this illicit stuff they are doing in somewhat explicit detail. Hmm…
