1. The only people who could’ve possibly been psyched by a reunion of the Time are Kevin Smith and the Time.

2. I’m staying at the Mirage in Vegas and Cirque du Soleil’s Love is in the hotel’s theater and I’m getting comped first-row-center seats. Guess where I’m going that night? To see Carrot Top.

3. I’ve seen Frank Sinatra, and, Alicia Keys, you’re no Frank Sinatra. Nancy…maybe.

6. Brad Paisley is the Weird Al of contemporary country. Only funnier.
