Hot Midterm Action
Sure, it’s football season, but who can concentrate on football when it’s midterm election season too? If you said Democrats, score one for you. With the Republicans all excited about their Tea Party candidates, and liberals in a lover’s squabble with their fearless leaders, it all but seems the outcome is certain. Of course, that’s what they said about the Giants and the Patriots in Super Bowl XLII. Could Nancy Pelosi be the next Eli Manning?

Mean Cuisine
Before the Emmy-winning The Colbert Report, before the Emmy-winning The Office, before even the Emmy-winning (and Canadian Comedy Awards award-winning) The Daily Show, comedy icons Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell appeared together in this sketch. Whether it’s a commentary on people working jobs that aren’t a good fit or on the disgustingness of food (which is pretty gross when you think about it), we’ll leave that for the academics to decide.

Tricks Are For Kids
The Kids in the Hall, not to be confused with New Kids on the Block, also happened to be one one of the great all-boy groups of the early 90s. And, not unlike New Kids on the Block, they’ve staged a reunion. But instead of a 48 city arena tour, The Kids in the Hall have put together a new series for IFC, Death Comes To Town, currently airing. Incidentally, which one is your favorite? Mine was always Joey McIntyre, um, I mean Dave Foley. Here’s a clip from the new show…

Drinkers and Thinkers
Jimmy Fallon did well as a first-time Emmy host last night, but previous Golden Globes host Ricky Gervais (we’re told he’s also known for a couple of other things) stole his segment with this diatribe touching on important issues like beer, Mel Gibson, and the consequences of Mel Gibson drinking beer.

The Blago Show
Former Illinois Governor Rod Blagojevich has been proven to be an innocent man, may his accusers burn in hell! That is, if you consider every juror but one thinking he was guilty of everything to be a ringing exoneration. And we hear that one juror was just mad he got stuck with the Blago trial instead of Lindsay Lohan’s. At any rate, Blago went on The Daily Show to explain that while he may have lost his child-like innocence, he hasn’t lost his innocence on corruption charges…yet.
