The Gong Show used to be my guilty pleasure when I was a kid. Chuck Barris was whacked out of his mind, the acts were horrible and Gene Gene the Dancing Machine actually made me dance. With the rise of all these useless talent shows on TV, it was only a matter of time before someone figured out they should reinvent the Gong Show, and that someone is Comedy Central. Chuck Barris won't be the host as that duty is going to stand-up comedian Dave Attell.
Inventor Dean Kamen, perhaps best known for creating the Segway, was on the Colbert Report last night where he presented his amazing, and possibly Earth-changing invention, the Vapor Compression Distiller. It's a stunning piece of work that could save the lives of millions of people around the world.
I must say that I continue to be disappointed that inventors, scientists and thinkers are having such a terrible time acquiring media attention. If it weren't for Colbert, these guys would probably have zero television time. I'm talking to you, Fox News, CNN, MSNBC and yeah, all the rest of ya.
Just when I thought workplace productivity had hit an all-time low, I find out that South Park Studios is now offering up every episode of South Park to watch online for free. There's no registration, and no inundation of ads like you'll find on previous, less than official solutions like allsp.com and southparkzone.com. You'll find not only your favorite episodes from years past like 'An Elephant Makes Love to a Pig,' 'Cripple Fight,' and 'Hellen Keller! The Musical,' but also the most recent 'Britney's New Look' which aired just last night.
So what favorite South Park moment will you be watching over and over while pretending to get work done? It's tough to spotlight a single moment from a show that's provided us with AWESOM-O, the Trapper Keeper, Osama bin Laden's farty pants, Professor Chaos, and of course hilarious celebrities like Tom Cruise, Michael Jackson, and Paris Hilton.
Personally, my favorite moment will still always be Cartman singing Heat of the Moment before Congress in the episode 'Kenny Dies' from season 5, which I've embedded after the jump.
