Maybe it’s that they played a song they originally released almost seven years ago. Or maybe it’s that Whoopi Goldberg-Adam Green are the most awkward interviewer-interviewee ever. Or maybe it’s that they replaced the line “shook a little turd out of the bottom of your pants” with “blew a little load out of the bottom of your pants.” Or maybe it’s just that the Moldy Peaches were on The View.
Dave is only getting better with age. The Late Show will never be a refuge for the dumb and untalented as long as he’s around.

When I was a wee child, summer mornings were dedicated to SportsCenter. Back then it was a 30-minute news and highlights program free of worthless opinions and anchors who are only concerned with out-punning each other. I’d watch the same episode as many as four times in one morning before even leaving the house. Now SportsCenter is a bloated 60- or 90-minute mess. Today’s children aren’t so lucky. The ESPN of my youth has turned to shit.
If you’re still a regular watcher of ESPN, you’ve probably noticed that the network has gone the way of MTV and departed from its progressive/revolutionary roots. Segments such as Who’s Now, incessant commentary from pompous blowhards, and inept broadcasters have made almost every program unwatchable. Hopefully they’ll listen to their new ombudsman Le Anne Schreiber and turn it around before it’s too late.

j-ho: then you hear it a couple more times and you realize it’s gonna be a crappy summer

This is why you don’t homeschool your children.

Human Giant need a million web hits in the next 24-hours to save their show. I’m pretty sure that’s bullshit, but why take a chance? Cool people deserve tv shows too.
Now that the plug has been pulled, I’d like to point out that the whole thing would have worked if they had made it a period piece. A live sketch show in either the early ’60 a la “Your Shows of Shows†or late ’80s SNL. The classiness and nostalgia could have leaven Sorkin’s over-wrought seriousness and there wouldn’t have to have been all the embarrassingly uncool current references (Three 6 Mafia? What a stupid douche cameo).
