Tremendous Boomer Esiason Spit-Take: Was That in the Cincinnati Bengals Circa 1988 Playbook?

Sometimes life just hands you a gift, whether it’s turning on the TV in the morning to find Regis inadvertently giving Meryl Streep a heart attack, or turning on the TV at night to witness Anderson Cooper absolutely destroy an opportunistic, insipid politician.  So this morning, while brushing out teeth, we flipped on the tube to see what was happening with WFAN’s Boomer & Carton, simulcast on the MSG Network, and, well, our birthday present came early:

TOUCHDOWN!

Enlighten us, Boomer: which play was that?

And speaking of spit-takes, here’s this.  And speaking of uncontrollable laughter, there’s that.

There are Few Greater Pleasures in Life Than Anderson Cooper Eviscerating a Terrible, Vapid, Parasitic Politician

The guy’s been on a roll recently.

And then he can co-host Live! with Kelly Ripa and be somehow simultaneously delightful and curmudgeonly.

More On the ‘SNL’ Cover-Up: Compare & Contrast

Expanding on our earlier exposé on last weekend’s “Returns and Exchanges” sketch with Jay Pharoah curiously lingering in the background, we can now compare the broadcast version to the edited clip available on Hulu (the DVR that’s hooked up to our slingbox ran out of space and didn’t record the show, so please forgive this less than ideal screenshot taken with our Droid).

Now you see him:

Now you don’t:

You got got!

Reege Returns! No One Gets Hurt!

TV might as well have been broken from December 1 to January 4th, because without Regis it was just about dead to me.  But after his month-long absence following hip surgery the king of mid-morning made his triumphant return to Live!, to the tune of the Rocky theme no less.  They might have his replaced his hip, but let’s hope they didn’t fix his eyes or brain or make him self-aware.  Because a sensible, alert, calm, inside-voice Regis is no Regis at all.  Unless he’s dangerously unhinged, it’s not Reege.

Vodpod videos no longer available.

You can replace hips.  You can replace hearts.  But you can’t replace crazy.

The Regis Philbin Wave of Mutilation Continues

Last week the Regis Philbin runaway train barreled through Meryl Streep, nearly sending her into cardiac arrest when Reege mistakenly informed Streep that her daughter had broken her leg (Just a little error reading the cue card.  NBD.  She’s only the daughter of Oscar Royalty.  Relaaaaax).

Now Reege has once again turned the knife onto himself, as he’ll undergo hip replacement surgery on December 1, followed by a four to six-week recovery and absence from Live!

And now I feel kinda bad.  Like it was our constant warnings that Reege is a loose cannon and is a danger to himself and others that caused the need surgery.  Can’t help but feel somewhat responsible.

Plus, it’s boring without Reege.  Now I’ll have no reason to tune into the show.  Unless, of course, Anderson Cooper guest hosts, because that guy goes Eddie  Murphy Raw when he’s freed from the shackles of prime time cable news into the anything goes of world of syndicated morning television.  No other CNN personality with evidently limited knowledge of popular culture can eviscerate the Lohan family like Anderson Cooper.
