When I saw the previews for Regis Philbin’s latest show, America’s Got Talent, I couldn’t help but think, here we go again. Another rip-off of American Idol. But it isn’t. It’s actually a rip-off of the Gong Show. (I guess Chuck Barris must’ve been unavailable to host. Probably overseas on one of his CIA hit-man jobs.)

Aside from some annoying camera work, it was actually pretty entertaining. The 11-year-old, self-trained yodeling girl was amazing, and I loved the world’s most dangerous comic. The quick-change artists were mind-boggling, and jugglers cracked me up with their blindfold bit. (I’m easily amused.)
