Culture: “I Am the World”: Less Lil’ Wayne, A whole lot more Huey Lewis

  • This nails our problem with “We Are the World 25.” It had a lot of rappers, but not much Huey Lewis. He could have brought the News with him! (Nice job, Jimmy Kimmel!)

Culture: How other late-show hosts sent off Conan O’Brien last night


  • Kimmel: Clever splicing Jimmy Kimmel has really come into his own during the whole late night saga, and this clip is no exception. It splices Jay Leno’s 1989 movie “Collision Course” into a Conan revenge fantasy. Sweet!

  • Fallon: Boyz II Men Probably due to the fact that he’s kind of the new kid on the block, Jimmy Fallon has kept his head low during the whole late night debacle. As a result, this clip is sweet, but fairly safe.

  • Letterman: A sequel?!Letterman has perhaps had the most fun with the saga, but tonight he was a bit off with the approach, which parodied the infamous 1996 HBO movie “The Late Shift,” and imagined who would play Dave.

Culture: Leno/Conan: Taiwan makes another 3d animation of a U.S. scandal

  • The second they turn into superheroes is when it starts getting good. Jeff Zucker is portrayed exactly like the kind of jerk he should be, and Coco is shown with a gaggle of supporters. Awesome.

Music: Ghostface Killah is officially the spookiest Wu-Tang Clan member

  • Ghostface Killah has never fought Midget Kiss. But based on how he told the story of how he ALMOST did, we’re sure it’d be pretty fracking awesome. It’s easily as scary as any story the dude told on “Fishscale.” Happy early Halloween, guys. source

Culture: T-Pain rips off “Autotune the News” (with their help)

  • There was always a ramshackle quality to the way that the kids from “Autotune the News” did their routine. Now, T-Pain’s doing his best impression of it on Kimmel. We originally thought it was a ripoff, but the Gregory Brothers helped them bring it to reality.
    Update: @sclev pointed out that an earlier version of this post was inaccurate. Thanks, bro.
