I heard the caveat of the new Beavis and Butthead was that there was no more riffing on music videos.

Really? Because I heard literally the exact opposite of that...yes, even Lady Gaga was tossed around yet again as a possible "riffing" target...

I dunno. All stories I've read so far have said there would be video riffing. Sort of a "backdoor" approach to get Music on MTV again. It's a show signature, I don't know if Judge would trample over that show signature just to bring it back. He said it was always his favorite part of the original series.

Suppose we'll have to wait and see.

Emphasis on "might"...I don't see there being two big of a chance of Al being involved in this project...Mr. Lennon did mention that it would be about "82% improvised", and Al has mentioned that he doesn't consider himself very good at improv comedy...

Well, look at the bright side. Al could wind up constituting as much as 18% of the show!!!

LIVE improv comedy, sure. Al declined an invitation to appear on "Whose Line Is It Anyway" because that show's in front of a live audience. But on a single-camera show with multiple takes, why not?

And its something that haas a basic outline as well. Whose Line is basically "Ok, you are a guy on a bus." I think it would be real cool to get a role on this show. And would he be playing himself as President? That'd be pretty kick ass

Richard Cheese posted some unfortunate news to his Facebook page the other day. Unless he can sell around 2,000 more copies of his OK, Bartender CD, he'll have to stop all together and won't be able to afford to record anything else. So if you haven't picked up a copy of it yet, what are you waiting for?
And Peggy
