Ty97, that thought about Tina Fey is perfect. I would love that! - Krusty Feb 10, 17:06 12
- I really can't see her as Spiderman -- nm - Dano Feb 10, 18:19 2
  - Sexist. -- nm - David Feb 10, 19:25
  - Heh. :-) -- nm - Krusty Feb 10, 18:21
- Just like she was "rumored" for Letterman's show she will be rumored for this. - Ultron Feb 10, 17:20
- In a way it feels like she'd be slumming to do it (she wouldn't be, but perceptions maybe?) - ty97 Feb 10, 17:10 7
  - I kind of got that feeling that it's a bit below her but she would own it and make it her own kind of awesome. - Krusty Feb 10, 17:24 6
    - I don't see her doing the show without transforming it completely, as Stewart pretty much did -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 17:43
    - The only 'hope' I have (and I quote mark it because it's sad) - ty97 Feb 10, 17:36 4

        No. nm - Dignan Feb 10, 18:13 1
        
        Yes. -- nm - Ultron Feb 10, 18:22
Why the restaurant you're at probably prefers that you not order dessert -- (link) - prayformojo Feb 10, 17:03 4
- OTOH, with dessert comes an order for a drink, cognac or scotch, even a couple espressos you have a profitable add on - zeitgeist Feb 10, 19:22

- I'll defend Brian Williams! Did any of his "add ons" actually change any of the stories truly? Nah, he was just making them more exciting for ratings! - Qale Feb 10, 17:02 5
  - From what I've heard so far, his embellishments didn't really impact the 'news'. But... - ty97 Feb 10, 17:04 4
    - The anchor position in particular needs loads of credibility, or it has nothing for its audience -- nm - con_carne Feb 10, 17:16 3
      - so then explain why Fox News is the highest rated network -- nm - zeitgeist roaming the s5 galaxy Feb 10, 17:32 2
        
        The anchor position for *smart* people. -- nm - David Feb 10, 17:34 1
        
        For smart people it is (was) Jon Stewart. -- nm - Ultron Feb 10, 17:55
Celebrity Skin was Hole's second biggest hit, Violet their fifth or so biggest and got significantly less radio play - con_carne Feb 10, 16:59 4
- Violet was amateurish compared to a lot of their stuff. -- nm - Ultron Feb 10, 17:08 1
  - That's a ton of the appeal of that album. - Reagen Feb 10, 17:50
- et tu, con carne? - droidlet Feb 10, 17:08 1
  - I like Violet better too, it's more my style - con_carne Feb 10, 17:21

      - wave them around as if there were no repercussions. -- nm - Tim Feb 10, 17:07 1
        
        Hee! nm - ralph wiggum Feb 10, 19:36
- NBC internal memo: "Lester Holt will continue to substitute Anchor the NBC Nightly News." -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 16:54 6
  - NBC News President Deborah Turness said besides Iraq, Brian Williams misrepresented events while covering other stories as well. -- nm - ty97 Feb 10, 16:54 5
    - Notably, when he said that he was looking forward to the Peter Pan live musical. -- nm - Will Hunting Feb 10, 16:59 1

  - And people claim that God is dead. nm - ralph wiggum Feb 10, 16:59 1
