Walter White Looks Back on Facebook: YOLO!

Remember when Walter White had to get chemotherapy? That was a crappy day! And when he chose to sell meth under the pseudo name of Heisenberg? Hey, You Only Live Once! Following Facebook’s 10-year anniversary last week, in which the company celebrated with a special “Look Back” video, South African comedy duo Derick Watts & The Sunday Blues has taken the same concept and applied it to Walter White. Yes, you can/should watch Breaking Bad online at TV Fanatic in order to fully relive this character’s best and worst moments. But you can also take a minute below to do the same via a hilarious Facebook parody: Walter White Facebook Look Back

Bob Costas Eye Infection Prompts Sochi Replacement: Take It Away, Matt Lauer!

Matt Lauer to the rescue? There are words NBC executives never thought they’d say to themselves. But with host Bob Costas ailing from an eye infection that has become the talk of the Twitterverse, the network has confirmed that Lauer will take his spot for tonight’s coverage of the Sochi Olympics.  “Reluctantly, I was trying to throw a complete game here, but I think we’re going to have to go to the bullpen, and I don’t know if you’re aware of this or not, but you’re Mariano Rivera, at least tonight,” Costas told Lauer by phone this morning on Today . “Let’s hope it’s only tonight. I’m walking around, I might as well be playing ‘Marco Polo.’ I have no idea where I am.” Costas had been trying to ignore his eye issues since Day One of the Games, but it was apparent last night that the infection had spread. We’ll see how long his hiatus lasts and we’ll gauge how well Lauer does this evening. But as long as he doesn’t dress like Pam Anderson again, everything should run smoothly.

The Jay Leno Show: 2009-2010

The Jay Leno Show died today. It was five months old. Tonight, a half-dead zombie version of the show briefly rose from its deathbed to celebrate its own demise. This was about as fun as you would expect. The Jay Leno Show ‘s cause of death has been the subject of much controversy in past weeks. But all signs tonight pointed to the failure of that most vital of organs: The host. “This show was supposed to last 2 years, but my sentence was reduced to five months for good behavior,” gasped Leno. “Five months! Do you realize guys on viagra had erections that lasted longer than that?” The audience’s laughter could not hide the underlying horror; if you’re going to have a zombie stagger around telling jokes on stage, at least make them good jokes! A short video was played in honor of the deceased. It was celebrity-studded and about as funny as someone drawing a dick on a roadside cross which marks the site of a bus crash. There could have been no more fitting tribute to The Jay Leno Show . Ashton Kutcher delivered a eulogy: “I felt like it was fitting that I came on the last show to reveal that the whole Tonight Show /earlier show thing was a punk.” As did Bob Costas : “The Last ’10@10’ huh? Kind of like being involved in the last broadcast of a Clipper’s season, isn’t it?” And just to make sure we didn’t miss it too much , the show included one final installment in the worst comedy bit in all of television: “Beer Pong Shot at of the Week.” And with that, The Jay Leno Show passed away. The final Jay Leno Show was not a tearful goodbye; it was a smirking retreat. Which is fitting, since nobody’s crying over its demise. We’ve all heard how NBC mad scientists are even now working feverishly in their hilltop fortress to breath monstrous new life into the show’s purifying corpse. Quickly, fellow TV-watchers! Our only hope is to draw and quarter this abomination and scatter its parts to very ends of the earth! Dear God. Do you hear that? We’re too late… The Tonight Show with Jay Leno . It’s… it’s… It’s alive!

Michael Vick Speaks: ‘I Cried So Many Nights’

Tonight 60 Minutes aired its much-anticipated Michael Vick interview, conducted by James Brown of CBS Sports, the first time Vick has spoken publicly about his crimes since being sent to prison for running a brutal dog-fighting ring. The segment began with Vick telling the world how he realizes what he did was wrong and how so very sorry he is for having done it: The first day I walked into prison, and he slammed that door, I knew the magnitude of the decision that I made, and the poor judgment, and what I allowed to happen to the animals. And, you know, it’s no way of explaining the hurt and the guilt that I felt
