Destination Truth Marathon - Thursday June 16th!

For you Destination Truth fans, turn off the computer right now and run to the television!  Syfy is running a Destination Truth marathon right now.  I had no idea they were going to run a marathon this morning, but I am ever so happy to see it.  So go to your TV now and watch!

Kings of Leon Dance Off

Do you love the Kings of Leon?  What about the Whigs?  Even better, do you like to rock out to Money Grabber by Fitz and the Tantrums?  Maybe you like a good dance off.  Well, you are really in luck today.  For some reason, the Kings of Leon and the Whigs decided to have a dance off to the song Money Grabber.  I know.  I just doesn't get any better than that.

Auditions for My Own Andy Richter

Anyone who reads my blog knows I am in love with Conan O'Brien.  He is my favorite talk show host and I watch his TBS show all the time.  What you may not know is I am looking for my own Andy Richter-like sidekick.

Yes, you heard me.  I am on a search for my own Andy Richter.  Andy always laughs at Conan's jokes.  He is always by Conan's side no matter what.  I need that type of sidekick.  Hopefully, my own Andy Richter is out there right now.  Job duties include:
Laughing at me at appropriate times.
Reading my writing and telling me it is great.
Standing to my left and nodding a lot.
Helping me look good if my jokes suck.

If this sounds like something that would interest you, please leave a comment below.  I really don't have money to pay you, but I would like to think I am pretty entertaining and maybe that is enough.  If that is not enough, I can take you out to eat once a week.  Perhaps we can go to Burger King or something like that since I am poor.  I think this is the beginning of a beautiful relationship.

America's Got Talent (or does it?)

America's Got Talent is back back back!  It is perhaps more ridiculous than ever, but yes, it is back.  So far, I've seen people fall off the stage, sing horribly, scare Howie, offend Piers, and just plain weird everyone out.  Let's face it, America's Got Talent is the new Gong Show.  They do not have a gong, but they can sure "X out" a bad performer. 

I will admit, I do miss David Hasselhoff a bit.  I mean, can you really keep the show going without the Hoff?  I guess you can, actually, since it is still airing without him, but it is not the same.  I like Howie, but he is no David Hasselhoff.  I will admit, as much as I enjoyed Jerry Springer hosting the show in the past, I do really like Nick Cannon now. 

For now, I need to run.  After all, America's Got Talent is on right now!  Even if I can't have the Gong Show come back on TV, I can still watch terrible performers on America's Got Talent.

Get Off the Couch and Celebrate the '90s!

I believe the time has come.  The 1980s parties have come and gone.  It is time to bring the '90s back.  Let's start having some 1990s parties.  We can break out the hypercolor t-shirts, flatten our bangs like Brenda and Kelly on 90210, and dance to Vanilla Ice and MC Hammer!  What could be more fun than that?

Even if you are into something a little less "pop" - why not break out the flannel shirts and let's listen to Nirvana and Pearl Jam?  Even better, we do not even have to get off the couch to watch Beavis & Butt-head reruns.  So what are you waiting for?  Check out some more ideas: It's Time for a 1990s Comeback!

Infomercial Info Everywhere!

Recently I've been stumbling upon some totally ridiculous infomercials and infomercial gimmicks.  I can't believe some of the silly strategies used by these companies.  Have you ever noticed items are purposely overpriced when you can buy one and get one free?  As it turns out, the price of the first item is usually about the price both items should actually be if you bought them at a store.  Something tells me customers are not really getting anything for free.  Throw in the shipping and handling, and it is a total rip off.  

I felt the need to share this and wrote a hub about it: What Infomercials Really Mean

After writing this hub, I watched TruTV's World's Smartest Inventions 4 just the other night.  I could not believe they devoted an entire show to the same topic.  Luckily, someone was even kind enough to upload the whole episode to Youtube.  Check it out!

 

Travel Channel's Paranormal Challenge

Hey, wait a minute... did hell just freeze over and no one told me?  The Travel Channel is giving Zak from Ghost Adventures his own show?  Or even more shocking, another show?!?! 

Yes, the rumors are true.  Zak Bagans of Ghost Adventures is going to host a new show called Paranormal Challenge.  Yes, I am amazed as well.  My best guess would be the Travel Channel is trying to compete with the Syfy Channel and its numerous Ghost Hunters spinoffs.  So yes, if you are a fan of Zak, brace yourself - you can watch him even more than ever before.  If you are not a Zak fan, eh, guess you are out of luck.  It is time to change the channel.

Paranormal Challenge premieres on the Travel Channel on Jue 17th. So yes, as much as I poke fun, I will be watching it probably right along with everyone else.  Here is a sneak peak:
