Joel McHale, for your consideration:
We think this one would fit in perfectly with Chicken Tetrazzini and Sweet Potatoes.
And we’ve gone ahead and taken the liberty of providing a short version for repeat use:
You’re welcome.
Or so he claims during this interview with Paul Rudd from yesterday’s Live!. This excites us immensely, especially if Larry King’s Tweet output is going to diminish once he wraps out of Larry King Live (which is tonight, incidentally). Of course, knowing Regis, his attempts to Tweet will likely involve him punching random buttons on a microwave, trying to complain about how the 2011 Yankees don’t hold a candle to the 1911 squad.

Get your mind out of the gutter, Reege!

Yesterday Joel McHale visited Live! with Regis and Kelly (who themselves are visiting Las Vegas this week), pitting McHale against the source of much of the material shown on The Soup (or, as Regis calls it, simply Soup). But, much like his recent appearance on Today‘s interminable fourth hour, McHale demonstrated that he has no reservations about biting the hand that feeds him, as he deftly inserted a Regis-is-as-old-as-the-Wright-Brothers crack within the first minute, and continued to harass the irascible Philbin for the entirety of the segment.
Vodpod videos no longer available.This is something we’ve come to adore about McHale (add it to the list), that he doesn’t make nice with objects of his scorn when he appears on their shows. Instead, he continues to call them out for their incompetence or insidipity, but still being careful to show appreciation for their existence, as they are the reason he’s able to feed his children (at least until Community came along). And despite his snark, we can tell that McHale does respect Regis and many of the people he mocks, and I think they in turn admire him for being genuine, sarcastic yet gracious (although, with Regis, it’s hard to tell if he even realizes he’s being derided. Or that he’s on TV. ZING!). So cheers to McHale for being an inveterate smug prick, whether in the comfy confines of The Soup studio or behind enemy lines.
Oh, and Regis revealed his true form.
That explains a lot.

We caught this clip from The Talk while waiting on line at the bank last week. Sometimes the good stuff just finds you (around the 30-second mark):
Vodpod videos no longer available.Also, BIG TIP: buying pretzels in bulk is cheaper. Mind. Blown.
You know what would be terrible? Being the kids in America’s Cheapest Family. Misery.
Sidenote: do you think that 20 years ago it was Holly Robinson Peete and Leah Remini‘s goal to one day co-host a mid-morning all-female talk show?
Johnny Depp: I want to be the biggest movie star in the world one day, while keeping my integrity intact and cultivating my own personal style. What about you, Holls?
Holly Robinson Peete: I’d like to ask someone the best way to buy bananas.
OR:
Mario Lopez: Someday I’m going to be one of the hardest working men in Hollywood, hosting a dance show on MTV, a syndicated celebrity news magazine, as well as the occasional beauty pageant. After I star in a Greg Louganis biopic, of course. How about your Mark?
Mark-Paul Gosselaar: Oh, well, I’ll take a brief respite after this, then work on a string of shows with acclaimed TV vets Stephen Bocco and David Milch, grow my hair long again, cut it, and then do a sex scene with Mary-Louise Parker. Pretty standard stuff. What about you, Leah? When this whole Malibu Sands storyline wraps up, what do you want to do?
Leah Remini: It’d be great to do a show where I’m married to a fat guy. I think the hot wife-overweight slob husband dynamic is totally unexplored territory. Then, after that, something about perfume.
Dreams do come true.
Why let the fact that Teach: Tony Danza is on indefinite hiatus stop us from delivering a Danza Moment of the Week? Do you think Tony Danza would let that silly little fact get in his way? N-O, NO. So then here we are, the Danza Moment of the Week:
Thanks, YouTube!

WFAN’s morning show Boomer & Carton is becoming to the go-to place for miggles (man giggles). Last week, Craig Carton spurred co-host Boomer Esiason to launch one of the all-time great spit-takes. This morning, during a conversation with caller “Blind Mike,” Carton demonstrated his lack of experience with the physically handicapped, sending Boomer into another laughing fit.
(Apparently, Carton was not content letting Today have all the chuckles at someone else’s misfortune)
And the miggles didn’t stop there. “Blind Mike” had called in as a contestant on Boomer & Carton’s weekly sports quiz “Do You Know More Sports Than…” in which they pit a male listener against an attractive local female, usually a waitress from LI or NJ (basically an excuse to bring in and ogle a pretty lady). Carton, perhaps feeling guilty about his earlier remarks, immediately tossed a Mike a softball, and Boomer lost it once again.
Sadly, “Blind Mike” lost. There is no justice in this world.
Oh, and speaking of David Paterson…
