Advertising gone mad
I was checking the guide on cable & at first was horrified to see that tonight's Countdown was only 30 minutes long & the 7:30-8:00 segment was going to be KING KONG!!!!! :wtf:

On closer inspection, however, it turns out the Countdown is it's usual hour, but from 7:59 to 8:00, they will be showing the KING KONG MOVIE TRAILER. :crazy:

2. Whew. I'm glad I didn't see that
or I would have said "A WHOLE HALF HOUR?????"

The next thing I would have done is given Keith a piece of my mind! "Have you ENTIRELY SOLD YOURSELF DOWN THE RIVER MY MAN??????"

3. nah, relax berry
he didn't sell out....couldn't you tell he was making fun of the whole thing throughout the show....it's what he does when they make him do stoopid stuff. it's completely different when it's stoopid stuff he WANTS to do (ie, MJPT & Oddball) :P

4. Oh, I agree entirely. Loved that final speech he gave at the end!
He made it abundantly clear that he was being forced to sacrifice a minute of his show and there was nothing he could do about it, so the least he was going to do was have fun and make a Best Monkeys List!

But if they'd made him do a *half-hour* of promo'ing the movie...ggghhh!

5. I liked the double-takes he did with the ape graphic
and the countdown clock... probably wondering "what the hell IS that doing there?"
