Naked Fat Borat Guy Gets a Sitcom...

and with Bernie Mac? An SNL Skit? They should be so lucky...
TVGuide.com reports,
"In 'Starting Under', Mac will play a man who moves in with his son and then starts working for him at a marketing firm, according to the Hollywood Reporter. Ken Davitian (Borat's companion) will play Ken, who is described as "gregarious," "stout" and possibly Polish."
I would also describe him as healthy, handsome, and hard to look at when wrestling naked.

SNL STILL BLOWS
My personal grades from this past weekend...
Spitzer opener was a D. Do you know how funny it could have been had they focused on Kristen Wiig as his wife, and what she must have been thinking up there behind that grin? Wasted air time for a second-rate skit about becoming a dirty defense attorney.

Jonah Hill is probably not all that talented, so overall he was fine. I get why the Benihana skit was funny, but again - strong start, sloppy and boring finish.

Digital Short gets an A for creativity and shock value.
Weekend Update gets an A for its first biting 'wall-to-wall' outing of the year. And guess what, it worked because they didn't bring in any fake characters - only Tracy Morgan who delivered the line of the year back at Tina Fey and her support of Clinton...
"If bitch is the new black, then black is the new president, bitch" A++

Mariah Carey should look into longer shorts.

The McGruber stuff is so bad it almost made me change the channel 3 minutes in. SO BAD.

In other news...
HIMYM is back tonight and color me excited. There will also be a new 'Big Bang Theory' which I will watch out of desperation, and a new Christine which was most improved last week.
Tomorrow I will finally get back into 'Beauty and the Geek'...yeah.
