Borat Touches Conan's Chrum

If this character ever goes away, I'll be very sad. 

Seriously, I want a Borat sitcom, he should be a new doctor on Grey's Anatomy for Meredith to whine about, there needs to be an animated Borat show on Saturday morning for kids, we need webisodes online, he should have his own talk show, he should host SportsCenter, and be a judge on Project Runway.

This needs to happen.

Ellen's Hosting the Oscars

Yep, that about sums it up. So... thoughts?

I still think Steve Martin is the best, and Jon Stewart came in a close second.  Everyone else is far behind.  I'd like to see Conan O'Brien get a shot at it, but... what do you think?  Ellen can definitely be funny. 

Tom O'Neill, however, thinks she'll flop.

Defamer had a funny quote from Ellen herself:

"When Laura Ziskin called, I was thrilled," said DeGeneres. "There's two things I've always wanted to do in my life. One is to host the Oscars. The second is to get a call from Laura Ziskin. You can imagine that day's diary entry."

James Lipton Shotguns a Beer

I love Conan O'Brien

I love The Sure Thing - starring John Cusack and Daphne Zuniga, a seminal film from my teenage years.  This was when Rob Reiner could do no wrong (Stand by Me, This is Spinal Tap, The Princess Bride, When Harry Met Sally..., Misery, A Few Good Men, etc.)

But now... now I love James Lipton.
