Late Night Highlights: Ben Affleck Jokes About Gay Sex With Matt Damon

It is always a warm reunion when Ben Affleck visits his former faux-lover Jimmy Kimmel on the ABC late show. Last night, the two lamented their lost relationship and expensive Disneyland tickets, before The Town director made an unfortunate joke about the positions that he and Boston buddy Matt Damon take in bed. Elsewhere, John Stamos remembered (almost) sleeping with Cloris Leachman, Stephen Colbert apologized for his wrongful interpretation of “Black Friday” and Judah Friedlander taught Jon Stewart how to beat up Bigfoot.

The Only Leslie Nielsen Tribute You’ll Ever Need

We might have the market cornered on fine Irvin Kershner eulogies , but I hand it over to Patric Hruby to do the honors for this weekend’s other illustrious deceased: “Enrico Pallazzo, an acclaimed Italian opera singer who achieved greater international fame by thwarting an assassination attempt on the queen of England while working as a baseball umpire, died Sunday. He was 84.” Slow clap. [ ESPN via Twitter ]

Lea Michele and Chris Colfer Tackle Evita: You Must Love Them?

“Don’t Cry For Me Argentina” is a Patti LuPone classic, a Madonna career-changer, a standard of the American stage, and now… yet another symbol of Rachel Berry’s haughty elitism.

Suck It, Kanye: David Lynch Breaks Off Fall’s Best Pop Single

Bludgeoned from all sides by hype (Nicki Minaj), hubris (Kanye West), cosmetically enhanced treacle (Katy Perry) and/or some unholy hybrid of all three ( Glee ), I can’t really overstate the palliative rush to be had from David Lynch’s swell new electro-pop single “Good Day Today.” Yes — that David Lynch. And yes — it lives up to its name.

Why It’s Time For Fred Armisen to Hand Over SNL’s Obama to Jay Pharoah

Last week, the news broke that President Obama split his lip playing a pickup game of basketball. My thoughts immediately began to drift toward the parody Saturday Night Live would no doubt have done this past weekend — and which I presume remains imminent after the show’s week off. Then I remembered, Oh yeah: It’s still Fred Armisen doing Obama and not Jay Pharoah. Never mind.
