Billy On The Street "Goes New York" With Jason Sudeikis



Billy on the Street is CRACKING ME UP. I just discovered it's on TruTV, and apparently has been for several seasons. Who knew?! Well, now I do. And you do, too, unless you've already forgotten the previous sentence.

In any case, the most recent episode finds him donning a New York "bro" accent with Jason Sudeikis, and rumbling through the streets. The cast from Veep gets a shout out, dollars are tossed around, and there's even a tailgate before a showing of Wicked. It's jam-packed, and it's terrific. Enjoy!

Jeopardy Contestant Insults Liberals With Wrong Final Jeopardy Answer




Becky Sullivan did her best to answer a question on Friday's episode of Jeopardy! Particularly, she was asked during "Final Jeopardy!" what a certain flower was that's also a disparaging term for liberals.

Apparently not know the correct answer ("bleeding heart"), Sullivan took the opportunity to go viral, writing down "pansy" as her response, finding "a way to insult the liberals in this country," according to Trebek. Sure, she lost $6,000, but it was probably worth it.

Paul Rudd and Jimmy Fallon Play Drinko, A Parody of Plinko




Jimmy Fallon was absent from The Tonight Show for two weeks due to a horrifying "ring aversion" injury. Do not Google it. It's not worth it. Basically his finger came off and was sideways after he got his wedding ring caught on a countertop while he was slipping on a rug. Ouch.

Fortunately, he's recovered now, and is able to play Drinko with Paul Rudd, which appears to be a parody of Plinko from The Price is Right, which requires the host and Rudd to drink things. Also ouch. This whole thing gets a thumbs up from me for Rudd's obscure 2XL reference. I loved that toy growing up.

Woman In Wheelchair Wins Least Appropriate Gift On The Price Is Right




What do you think a woman in a wheelchair needs more than anything? If you guessed a sauna and a treadmill, well, you have the same mindset as the crew on The Price Is Right. Comedian Danielle Perez, who's been in a wheelchair since 2004, won the pair of prizes playing the game One Right Price.

Gotta hand it to her, she seemed genuinely happy. And she tweeted afterwards and showed off a little bit of that humor.

Wheel Of Fortune Dude Solves Puzzle With One Letter


One of the long-time features of Wheel of Fortune is the final puzzle round, also known as the "we're running out of time so let's speed this up" segment. Pat spins the wheel for a certain amount of money, and then players do their darndest to solve the puzzle after guessing a letter. In this case, it took just one letter for Rufus to snag a cool $1,700. Not bad, good sir. Not bad at all.

Jimmy Fallon Plays "Password" With Jim Parsons, Emma Thompson and Michael Cera



Password is one of my favorite game shows, just because it's a nice combination of actual intelligence/cleverness and complete idiocy. That's in full effect here, when Jimmy Fallon played the game on The Tonight Show. Jim Parsons makes up the other half of "Team Jimmy," and together they take on Emma Thompson and Michael Cera. All sorts of rules are just trampled on in this game, but oh well, it's still an entertaining segment.
