Bitch, please...
In a very weak effort to make all you study-abroaders very jealous, let me tell you what you all are missing out on by being out of the good old U.S. of A.
It's a little TV show I like to call "Celebrity Duets." Now, you may be familiar with the setup of a show called "Dancing With the Stars," where C-list celebrities were paired up with professional dancers each week, and would perform for the American public's votes, determining a winner whose prize money would be sent to the charity of their choice, though many of the contestants would probably have been better off using the cash to hire new agents.
ANYWAY, such is the basic premise of "Celebrity Duets," though instead of being paired with dancers, they are paired with musicians (also C-list, mostly), and perform duets.
Now, when I say "celebrity," you may think I am referring to unimpressive soap opera stars or something. No no. Much cooler. Hal Sparks, Lucy Lawless, Alfonso Ribiero, Cheech Marin, Chris Jericho, and a couple of others are paired with a different musician each week. (Patrick, I think you'd really dig this.) Some of the musicians are Peter Frampton, Michael Bolton, Smokey Robinson, LeAnn Womack, Gladys Knight, and others whose names I don't know. It's amazing.
Oh...did I forget to mention the host and judges? Worry not, Wayne Brady fan(s), because he is in fact hosting the show, which means that in every commercial break they advertise his new movie that's basically "You Got Served" but with underground basketball instead of breakdancing. And the judges are Marie Osmond doing her best Mary Murphy impersonation, Little Richard being too gay and too old to sit up straight, and some lame old dude.
Y'all better hope this shit is out on DVD when you get back, because it is B-A-N-A-N-A-S.
