Some times you find yourself in a weird place. I'm not saying I'm depressed, but today I found myself browsing through clips from beloved 80s sitcom Perfect Strangers. You know, the one with Balki and Cousin Larry as the odd couple? Yes, you do. And then I found this touchingly earnest 1992 Entertainment Tonight look at THE END OF PERFECT STRANGERS, FOREVER in which Bronson Pinchot says the following, in regards to co-star Mark Linn-Baker: "We've been through stuff we couldn't even explain to anybody else... There was so much that went on between us that was never spoken." And then he almost cries. And then I went to John Tesh's blog, and I almost cried.

I'm pretty sure I need a hug right about now.

Some people cite a disproportionate number of male applicants for the jobs, while another points out that this isn't likely to change as long as the majority of the hosts, whose sensibilities writers are trying to match, are men, a theory bolstered by the fact that t five of the ten writers for Chelea Lately are women. But then again, you really mean to tell me any old moron, male or female, isn't capable of churning out the kind of jokes Jay Leno uses on your grandparents every night?

Carrie Prejean, the hateful former Miss America contestant who thinks gay people shouldn't be allowed to get married and that they'll probably burn in hell for all of eternity, was on Larry King last night to promote her new book, which she has named Still Standing in hopes of calming the nerves of anyone who thought she may have been knocked down for good after falling victim to such horrible crimes as not winning a fucking beauty pageant. Anyway, she gets pissed at Larry for asking a perfectly reasonable question, then does that thing that really stupid people do where she just keeps repeating the same phrase over and over again, in this case, "Larry, you're being inappropriate." [Videogum]

Oh, and the fact that Betty discovered Don's secret drawer of evidence and he had to come clean about the whole stealing a dead man's identity thing. Also, Joan hit Dr. Asshat in the head with a vase, so he joined the army. Would it be too crass of me to say I hope he goes to Vietnam and dies? In light of last night's long awaited episode focusing on the JFK Assassination, yes, it probably is.

So, like, I'm definitely not the only one who looks forward to seeing what Matt Lauer and the rest of the Today Show cast is going to dress as for Halloween, right? Yeah, I didn't think so. This year? Star Wars characters! You really have to watch the whole clip. It's long, but it just gets better and better, or at least more and more awkward, as it goes on, culminating with Meredith Vieira telling an Ewok not to grab her ass. Other highlights include Hoda doing a Yoda voice, Kathie Lee doing a C-3PO voice, and Al Roker not being dressed as Lando Calrissian.

The best part of last night's episode of The Office (which was refreshingly free of the honeymooning Jim and Pam, by the way) involved Kevin trying to explain to Oscsar, who's gay, why they would have very different experiences were they to be put in jail. Someone should tell young hollywood types that this is how you write jokes about homosexuality—where the stupid person winds up looking stupid, and not like someone to be envied by a bunch of hateful frat boys.

But first, the plot: Conrad Hilton has taken to calling Don in the middle of the night, waking the entire Draper clan and sending Don to the office at 5am. I can't wait to be an eccentric millionaire. As Don heads to work he spots Miss Farrel jogging (I didn't mention it in that week's recap, but it did come up in that episode how she's an early morning jogger) and is all about giving her a ride, in more ways than one. Miss Farrel acts all coy, so he just drives up to the house where she's renting an apartment. This will be important later.
