The last show of Craig Ferguson Late Late Show has Craig wondering who has been wearing the stupid horse costume the entire time (the horse is there every night).

The horse takes off the head and it is Bob Newhart.

“Bob Newhart!! What are you doing in the horse costume!?”

“Beats me - it’s your dream!”

Then it shows Mr. Wink (or whatever the bosses’ name was on the Drew Carey show) waking up and screaming in bed. The person next to him rolls over and it is Drew Carey!

“Oh it was horrible - I was on this crummy talk show. And you were skinny and ran a fabulous game show!”

I was watching a show called “Person of Interest” and really like one episode. The brainy guy was undercover as a math teacher, and the high school kids thought it was stupid, and they were learning PI.

The speech (below) is even better on video with the kids’ reactions:

Harold Finch: Pi. Can any of you tell me what it means?

[There’s no response from the class]

Harold Finch: I’ll settle for an intelligent question here.

Lily Williams: My friend has a question, Mr. Swift. “What is any of this good for, and when would we ever use it?”

Harold Finch: Let me show you. Pi, the ratio of the circumference of a circle to its diameter, and this is just the beginning; it keeps on going, forever, without ever repeating. Which means that contained within this string of decimals, is every single other number. Your birthdate, combination to your locker, your social security number, it’s all in there, somewhere. And if you convert these decimals into letters, you would have every word that ever existed in every possible combination; the first syllable you spoke as a baby, the name of your latest crush, your entire life story from beginning to end, everything we ever say or do; all of the world’s infinite possibilities rest within this one simple circle. Now what you do with that information; what it’s good for, well that would be up to you.
