Neat! His wasn't a name I saw floated about on the Interwebs, but I like him.
I was really hoping for a female host, but I also really like him. So, I'm not really disappointed. All of his appearances on The Daily Show have been very funny.
OK, I really liked the latest Community. 2-4 were kinda not all there, somehow, but this one clicked for me.
Blanket forts are magic.
Unrelatedly, looks like Louie is still a show where anything can happen. I had some trepidation, for some reason.
IJWTS, I am grateful I didn't watch Louie last night before going to bed.
Was it "Friends" or "Northern Exposure" had the joke that used "Spiderman" as the example for why just adding "-man" didn't make a Jewish name? Maybe both, cause sometimes I picture Chandler and sometimes Dr. Joel.
Friends had the bit with Phoebe & Chandler: "He's not "Phil Spiderman". He's a Spider - Man." Though I wouldn't be surprised if Northern Exposure did one, I don't remember it off the top of my head - I haven't seen every episode 50 times like I have with Friends.
Maybe they both did. Wouldn't surprise me.
Any other fans of the new Odd Couple? It's a fairly standard NYC sitcom, except words cannot describe the brilliance that is Tom Lennon. He gives the standard version of Felix a modern metrosexual overlay. I suspect with a fair amount of improv.
