When did the political process turn into the world's biggest reality show? Now the candidates have become so much a part of our daily entertainment, they might as well be on The Hills. We'll look back at them and much, much more, as we review the many highlights of the week.
We tried to figure out what makes David Spade such a stud with women, but couldn't do it.
We tried to warn 90210 star Shenae Grimes about what happened to former 90210 star Shannen Doherty. And hoped Donnie Wahlberg wouldn't turn into Tara Reid.
We imagined a Kanye West puppet show.
We watched as Robot Chicken spoofed Heroes. Then we watched Heroes, and wondered why Dr. Suresh reminded us of Jeff Goldblum.
We saw what would happen if William Shatner fought himself, and if Mr. Spock faced Dr. Spock. But when the old 90210 fought the new 90210, it was no contest.
We read about how Clay Aiken had come out as Clay Aiken.
We learned a ridiculous amount about '80s teen star Kirk Cameron. Go ahead, ask us anything.
We heard Will Ferrell's response to his fans, and a band's sweet, sweet Lost music, and Idol winner David Cook's retro new single.
We
watched the Emmys, then
recapped the Emmys, then boasted about
predicting many of the winners. We appreciated
Josh Groban's weirdly cool theme-song medley, and we
really appreciated
Mad Men's
Christina Hendricks in her Emmy dress. And we enjoyed Jimmy Kimmel's Emmy-related
musical number with Salma Hayek, mostly because it involved Salma Hayek.
We enjoyed Bill Clinton on Letterman, then enjoyed Chris Rock making fun of Bill Clinton on Letterman, then enjoyed Dave making fun of John McCain for not going on Letterman. We were dumbfounded by Katie Couric's interview with Sarah Palin, and by a certain phrase describing President Bush. We heard what Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert talk about when they start getting real. We heard the debates over the debate.
,,, And then we read Barack Obama's pep talk from President Bartlet. And then Chris Rock said this, and we were done for the week.
