1. It's great, I've shown all my friends

So going to hell, but that is so funny.

2. I caught that show for the first time last night

Quite strange in a funny sort of way. Rupaul and Mcauly Culkin (sp?) as guests; quite varied to say the least.

5. OMG! What odd guests!

Did anyone ever see RuPaul's show when it was on VH1? I thought she was great!

3. I loved the guy they dressed in drag

and sent on the streets to try to pick up a client.

That show is so good.

4. Look at his recommended reading list

Discipline and Punish : The Birth of the Prison - Michel Foucault
Historical philosophy on the concept of punishment and its many mutations over the ages.

Essays and Aphorisms - Arthur Schopenhauer
An excellent introduction to the penetrating mind and subtle humor of the great German philosopher.

Four Arguments for the Elimination of Television - Jerry Mander
The aware reader will wonder why television is not considered a catastrophic health hazard.

On the Genealogy of Morals/Ecce Homo - Friedrich Wilhelm Nietzsche
Three essays tracing the roots of morality to the less than noble origins of the revolt of the lower classes.


(among others)

6. Graham Norton is the greatest!

I loved his show on BBC America and have watched it for several years.

The Graham Norton Effect is similar, but cleaned up for American audiences. I cannot believe the stuff he got away with on his show in Britian.

On one show he had a woman from Germany who could shoot a pingpong ball out of her vagina and hit a target. He actually had her do it on the show - with the cameras behind her of course so all you could see was the ball hitting the target. But still, never in this country would any talk show host be so brazen.
