'New Girl's Season Two Was Great, No Thanks to the Parents

by | May 15th, 2013

New Girl concluded their excellent second season by making one of the world's most awful songs briefly profound.

"Where do we come from? Where do we go?" mumbled Nick Miller in the closing moments of last night's season finale. He was paraphrasing "Cotton Eye Joe," which he justifiably denied enjoying earlier in the episode, betrayed by his involuntary fistpumping. The first question was something that was on the minds of all of the main characters all season long, influencing their decisions as they traversed through the murky, angsty wilderness that is living as a late 20s/early 30s year old with slapstick, pregnant pauses, and a lot of yelling, sometimes [...]

"Jay Leno Ripped Me Off"

by | November 23rd, 2010

Last night on The Tonight Show, Jay Leno showed a montage of clips of Taylor Swift acting surprised to Taylor Swift. Does that montage sound familiar?

And if you think it was just a coincidence, well, one of Leno's producers called Rich and asked if he could use the video if they gave credit. Well, there was no credit to be found on the show.

"Aw, I feel bad if [Taylor Swift] was upset. I am a feminist, and she is a young and talented girl. That being said, I do agree I am going to hell. But for other reasons. Mostly boring tax stuff."

- Amy Poehler to The Hollywood Reporter in response to Taylor Swift saying she and Tina Fey are going to hell for making a joke about her at the Golden Globes.

Jay Leno Gives Credit Where Credit Is Due

Yesterday, I wrote about how Jay Leno used a Taylor Swift montage created by Rich Juzwiak and Kate Spencer without giving credit, even after a producer called and asked to use the material and promised that credit would be given. Last night, they corrected their mistake by giving credit at the end of the show. It appeared to be an honest mistake, and kudos to the Tonight Show crew for correcting it so quickly.

Now just give the show back to Conan and we can finally move past all this ugliness.
