That new guy you don't recognize is Mick Kaczorowski, executive producer at Animal Planet, who happened to be in the office when the podcast was starting. And he happened to be in the office because he's working on a project with WOW, but no one needs to know that yet. He leaks that when Meerkat Manor starts up again June 6, Stockard Channing will be its new narrator. James gets started on American Idol. Randy wonders if David Archuleta and Michael Alig are an "Of Interest." Blue pants suits. Gayle's droopy surgery face on Oprah. Is Oprah so much happier now that she's back to being fat? Randy and A New Earth, his essential self, and Oprah. Tom Cruise and his scripted minions. Barbara Walters: her daughter, her book, Rosie, Star Jones. Sex and the City, the movie, its stars. Sarah Jessica's Lady Bunny hair on a billboard. Sparkle fonts! The Miley Cyrus ploy. The Kardashians. Gossip Girl. (Gossip Girl gossip continues uninterrupted as Randy and Mick leave the podcast.) Where in the World Is Matt Lauer? Will Perez Hilton be remembered long after Paris Hilton is forgotten? Obsolete communication gestures. Does David Archuleta know he's gay? Mariah's wedding suddenness seems suspect. And...scene.
