Hey I needed to bring up the digs on Ruben sweating again.
1.Louis Armstrong always did and he wiped his head with a hankie ;)
2. Jim Carey (thin) was on Conan last night and was pouring sweat! He kept wiping himself and said he is just a terrible sweater. So...
When can you wear a 'sweater' and when does someone become a sweater...perspiration for thought ;)
It's for real. CTV, starting June 11th. The final auditions are in Toronto on Monday.
Four judges instead of three, none of whom I've ever heard of. One host, who I've never heard of. And two "correspondents," who I've never heard of, and what they're going to "report" on I have no idea.
I may have to beg someone to tape it for me, because I know nobody down here is going to pay for the rights to air it, and I have a feeling that, in the immortal words of Butt-Head, it is going to suck as no show has sucked before. To me, it's like airing "Texas Idol" or "Massachusetts Idol." There just aren't enough people in Canada to have a decent-sized pool of contestants to choose from, so the quality of the singing is going to HAVE to be lower unless they get very very lucky. There's no Simon, who is INTEGRAL to the format. I doubt CTV can afford to put on the big-bucks extravaganza that Fox was able to produce. Etc etc.
We shall see, I guess.
