R.L. Stine posted:Kenny was at a kids concert years ago in like Smiths Falls Ontario of all places, presumably with his kids and he gently put his palm on my daughter's head to move her as he went through the crowd. Cancel his rear end. All the gossip I used to hear about Kenny around Toronto was he was a notoriously scummy piece of poo poo who dated people waaaay to young for him. No idea about Spenny though.

JediTalentAgent posted:Talk Shows: The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson STILL has a pretty strong cult following to this day from folks who used to tune in back in the late 00s. Craig Ferguson was the only late night show that I actually wanted to watch. The guy just seemed immensely likeable and personable with his guests. A few months ago I watched a bunch of videos on YouTube of him just absolutely losing it laughing on the show and it just put me in a good mood for what felt like days. His opening monologues about the passing of his parents and his addiction were honestly heartbreaking too.

Yeah Ferguson was cool as a host because the show always felt like it was just a funny rear end in a top hat uncle hanging out with celebrities and having fun. Jimmy Fallon's show had a similar thing going on but he's not as funny.

Ferguson felt closer to hanging out, asking dumb bullshit then realizing "oh yeah what are you plugging awesome thanks" and it really improved the interactions with the celebrities. Doubly so for people he had a history with like Hugh Laurie. I still remember him offering guests a chance at a big cash prize and they always jumped at it. I think it was 50 bucks, but goddamn they all lit up at the chance.

I’ve had way too many arguments with people that a leisurely stroll through the rain will not in fact make them smarter than people who sprinted to their destination. I remember watching that and getting upset about it, enough to make a simulation of it. It's been many years so my memory of it is foggy but I determined that in a very light rain it may be better to walk normally but any kind of volume beyond a light spritz makes moving faster over a fixed span better. Also, at extremely high volumes of rain and moving very quickly at impossibly high speeds will get you slightly more wet because you basically scoop up all of the rain ahead of you but a human run will generally get you less wet than a walk.

One time I was in my car in a really bad rainstorm and I saw some guy walking get absolutely nailed by a huge splash of water from a passing bus. I laughed my rear end off but I felt bad at the same time. God that was funny.

Doubly so for people he had a history with like Hugh Laurie. Letterman had a good show because he liked to do fun things for the viewers and audience. Craig Ferguson had a good show because it really seemed like he enjoyed doing fun things for his guests and they responded so well to it. Of course this was also fun for the audience. I never saw so many guests flirt so hard with a late night host as they did with Craig, or so many guests who really seemed pleased to be there. In short, I really loved Lerman back in the 90's but i would still rather watch Craig Fergison and also i must state once again that the most distilled version of 2000's television ever produced was the show Secret Girlfriend which was on SpikeTV or Comedy Central or some poo poo

haljordan posted:This is still the greatest Japanese game show of all time What about the one where they locked an unsuspecting man inside a tiny windowless apartment naked until he won 1 million yen worth of prizes from mail-in sweepstakes, during which time he was only able to subsist off of things that he won from mail-in sweepstakes, like dog food and uncooked rice, and he wasn't allowed to talk to anyone in the outside world, and then after one year when he finally won 1 million yen they gave him his prize: blindfolding him and flying him to South Korea then locking him in another apartment naked and making him do the same thing all over again until he could afford a flight home - which he did so quickly that the showrunners got mad and moved the goalposts and made him get a first-class ticket, and then when he finally did and flew home to Japan they blindfolded him and took him to another apartment where he was so accustomed to this abuse that he immediately took his clothes off and got ready to start entering sweepstakes, except then the walls fell down and revealed that he was in a TV studio in front of a live audience and he was just finding out for the first time that the entire country had been mocking him going through all of this on tv every week

I am still nerd mad about how unbelievably terrible the BSG ending was like fifteen loving years later. It was so bad it retroactively ruined the rest of the series for me except maybe the first season Let's just fly all of our spaceships into the sun for no reason and revert to stone age technology and become cavemen for no reason and split up into small groups and never see each other again FOR NO REASON Also all the Deus Ex Machina stuff? Sorry yeah it really was God. No deeper layer to explaining all the bits of the prophecy or hidden plot twist or or meaning to the Cylons yet to be revealed. It was just God. Except Fatsuit Lee Adama. Nothing could ruin Fatsuit Lee Adama.

BSG was fash-y enough to fit in quite well with the '00s "War on Terror" horseshit.

I mean the whole struggle about military vs civil power with Adama being straight up repressive ultra authoritarian fash was a repeated ongoing major plot theme fair enough but "the whole thing is fashy full stop" is a bit much

The whole series was about morally grey decisions, and that specific episode was about them not doing it after Helo stops it (if I remember right) and after they'd already been victims of genocide themselves

Pandaal posted:They actually did bring it back on Netflix but it only lasted 6 episodes. The weekly format didn't work on the 2018 iteration of Netflix. It was called the Joel McHale Show with Joel McHale. How did I miss that?? I suppose if it didn't work on netflix there's not much chance of anyone giving it another go. It kind of was perfect for cable television and I can't quite articulate why it might not work for streaming

I miss everything about this show, from the host, to the terrible MSPaint clip art graphics, to the matchups they'd come up with. https://youtu.be/Ma0EOFpARjI This guy gets drunkenly kissed and at about 5 min 45 seconds (after letting his date shave his beard) and transforms into Jean Ralphio from Parks & Rec.
