Episode 23.20 - #300!
May 24

Chico: Hey gang, this is Chico Alexander. He's Gordon Pepper. And to open up this epic 300th episode, the opening had to be epic so...
Gordon: (covers eyes and ducks)
Josh: Did you blow the budget?
Chico: I might've. *plays*

Rockapella: Haaaaaaay 1, 2, 3...
Phil Keoghan: You're team #3.
Ryan Seacrest: Text the word "vote" to 5703...
Bob Eubanks: It's a 3...
Contestant: I'll take Potpourri for $300, Alex...
Regis Philbin: Going for $300...
Jeff Probst: That's 3. That's enough.
Wayne Brady: I'll give you $300...
Alfonso Ribiero: 300... in control...

Dick Clark: $300.
Len Goodman: 3.
Pat Sajak: $300.
Ed McMahon: Three stars...J

Movie Title: 030
MTWI computer: The game begins in 3...
King Leonidas: THIS!
Computer: 2...
Leonidas: IS!
Computer: 1...
Leonidas: SPARTA! (kick)

Chico: How's THAT for epic?
Gordon: That was budget-worthy :)
Chico: From somewhere in America, the 300th episode of We Love To Interrupt... is... ON!
Josh: YEEEEEEEE-HAH!
Gordon: Gordon Pepper here, along with our special guest today, Agent Josh.
Josh: Great to be back, fellas.
Gordon: You know what else is epic?
Chico: What else is epic?
Gordon: First of all, we'll have a special THREE motif in our show, as it's episode #300. Second of all, someone on our staff...FINALLY...predicted a Jeopardy! Champion correctly.
Chico: *points to G*
Josh: Yay!
Gordon: I wonder who that stud of a man is. How handsome. how studly, how brilliant. How...
Chico: How HUMBLE!
Gordon: Why thank you. My humility known no bounds.
Chico: How about we start it off with a...



Josh: Wouldn't that be divided by 4?
Chico: Yes it would. Now this is a historic Final, as we have a rematch of game 5 between Jason Zollinger (Tuesday's winner), Vijay Balse (Wednesday's winner) and Stefan Goodreau (Monday's winner). That's THREE people in the finals, folks.
Chico: Now it's not usually that I get to say this, but this came down to the final moment. I mean, it could've been anyone to win. Let's go to part 1's FJ!. The category: AFRICAN CAPITALS.

This west central African capital grew out of a settlement that France established for freed slaves in 1849.

Chico: Okay, Josh?
Josh: What is The Congo?
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: What is Jessica 'Sugar' Kiper's Sugar Shack?
Chico: Gordon is actually closer.
Gordon: Wha?
Chico: 1) The Congo is not a city.
Josh: I had NO clue.
Chico: 2) The answer is in Gabon.
Gordon: See, even when I'm wrong, I'm right.
Chico: "I'm Gordon! Even my mistakes are perfect!"
Gordon: Hey you said it, not me :)
Chico: Back to the game. That's a Triple Stumper. We get this for the score.. Vijay leads with $9200 to Stefan's $5800. Jason has... well... nothing.
Gordon: Waa waaaaa
Josh: (losing Horns)
Chico: But it's not over. If Jason plays lights out tomorrow, he's back in it. Play lights out against them? Hard. Stefan was on point all game long. So the score going into the Final Final...

Jason : $10,200 / Vijay: $8800 / Stefan: $17,000.

Josh: Jason still in it with a shout.
Chico: Very much so.
Gordon: Jason isn't really in it if Stefan bets properly.
Chico: Stefan has to watch out for both of them. He has to bet to secure the tournament AND avoid being usurped. Vijay... same thing.
Gordon: Do you bet to win? Or do you bet to force Vijay to get the answer right?
Josh: Bet to win the game. This is for $250k
Gordon: Vijay has no choice. He has to go for it.
Chico: That he does. He has to play to win and to force Stefan to do the same.
Gordon: The right bet for Stefan is $4,001. That gets him $26,801
Chico: He does make the correct bet... but there's a problem.
Gordon: The problem is - he must also get the answer right.
Chico: The clue was in FROM NOVEL TO FILM.

First published in 1880 & made into a film in 1907, 1925 & 1959, it was the first work of fiction blessed by a pope.

Chico: Josh?
Josh: *HYAH!* What is Ben-Hur?
Chico: Gordon?
Gordon: What is 'The Lord of the Recession?'
Chico: One of you is right. The other one... had a better guess than Stefan did. What is this, "Second Chance"? Ben... Hur. Stefan had "I got none right." Ben. Wrong.
Josh: What did Jason write?
Chico: Ben-Hur. He bet ALMOST everything. It was enough to lock down second place. But your winner... with $23,000... VIJAY BALSE.
Gordon: Nice win to Vijay.
Chico: And then Gordon hummed a high-pitched "Stars & Stripes Forever"
Gordon: Well no, but I also got this right...



Chico: The final five... Jerri, Colby, Russell, Parvati, and Sandra. The final four... Jerri, Russell, Parvati, and Sandra (Colby had ZERO chance).
Gordon: 2 months ago, I specifically asked if we cold fast-forward the season to a Russell/Parvati/Sandra Final THREE. Sure enough, there they were.
Chico: And recently, we said that if Russell and Parvati were in the final three, then the third person would win.
Gordon: And sure enough Sandra wins it because #1. Her 'anyone but me' voting strategy got her to the final 3 and #2. She was the lesser of the 3 evils.
Josh: Well you said that, I....was wrong again.
Gordon: We did, and she did, and you are :)
Chico: That was the easiest final to call in Survivor history.
Josh: You know, this is history.
Chico: And speaking of Survivor history, History made again as Sandra becomes the first person to take the crown. TWICE.
Gordon: So is the the best person to ever play Survivor?
Josh: Nah
Chico: No, just the best person to ever WIN.
Josh: I still say Richard Hatch was the best. He set the strategy.
Chico: I mean, it's one thing to play the game, another thing to win.
Gordon: I would have to say...yes. Especially since she's a middle aged woman who doesn't win challenges. Her social game is top notch. She knew what to say to get the win.
Chico: Basically "If you wanted a vote? I voted your way." Easy. And it got her to the win. Twice. The simplest game gets the win. You have to wonder why no one saw that coming?
Josh: I imagine that she won't be invited back for more reunion seasons.
Chico: You never know.
Gordon: Actually I bet you she will. Can Sandra do it a THIRD time?
Chico: You never know. I think by now they'll wise up, but then again... Morons gone wild.
Gordon: Something else we all called last week - a Lee/Crystal final.



Chico: We started with THREE people last week, and we are now down to two. And sure enough, it's basically your perfect storm in the Wheel of Death round. Lee spins the wheel and ends up killing Casey. Why? Simple. Lee and Casey are in the same bracket, that of the male rock hero. Lee leaps and bounds over Casey. Add Crystal's goon squadron, and the die is cast.
Gordon: Very true. and both Lee and Crystal showed why they should be in the final in the best show of the season.
Chico: Although this season... it's not that hard to get the best show of the season.
Gordon: The question is: Why did we have to wait 3 months for it?
Chico: =p This should've been a fight. I remember back in the good old days, the round of 3 was a fight. Now it's just Casey doing just enough to avoid making it a total blowout.. Unfortunately, Lee had other ideas. And thanks to this week, we go from "It's Crystal's to lose" to "Pick'em."
Gordon: I don't even think she lost it as much as Lee wants to take it from her. The problem for Crystal is she never elevated her game. She never challenged herself while Lee did.
Chico: Lee kept challenging himself. Crystal only decided to show up recently. Now comes the big challenge: turning what is sure to be a Kara dioGuardi pet project into a power performance. We all remember what happened last year. Both finalists were like "I can't sing this (^_^)!"
Gordon: Once again, I shudder at the coronation song. Especially if Kara is writing it.
Chico: Are we going to hear about waves turning into a hurricane and such?
Gordon: Maybe we'll get fluffy bunny feet and the lollipop guild this time around. And then after that, we'll flip over to ABC to see the THREE couples left on Dancing With the Stars.



Chico: The final THREE celebs on the floor are Evan Lysacek, Nicole Scherzinger, and in a late-game push, Erin Andrews. Let's get this out of the way. Evan has no shot at the title. Not against these two.
Josh: Uh, I think Evan has EVERY shot against Nicole. Erin? Probably not.
Chico: Gordon, you're the tiebreaker.
Gordon: Evan has a chance. The question is, as always, who gets the public vote.
Chico: And the answer I love to give: who watches the show? Mostly women.
Gordon: So Evan does have a shot.
Chico: Now Evan has the skills, Nicole has the star power, and Erin has people who just want Elisabeth Hasselbeck to sit down and shut up. How do you think the vote is going to fall? Because, and we've said this for 10 seasons now - regardless of what the judges think, it's going to come down to who has the bigger fanbase.
Gordon: Women watch, but the young'uns vote, and I think they will go for a Pussycat Doll. I still pick Nicole to win (like I said before the season started).
Josh: I think it's actually quite even. Nicole is going to get the Judge's vote. But Evan is going to get the fan vote, I think.
Chico: I still think that is moot and Nicole will get the win. It's been a fantastic ride, and it'll be an even more fantastic finish.
Gordon: Agreed. Now what about THREE people getting Fired?



Chico: One after the other, I've heard.
Josh: Bim-bam-BOOM!
Chico: It's like, You're fired... You're fired... YOU'RE fired. And it turns out that the favorite we had going into the final... SHE gets fired. So it's going to be Holly Robinson Peete vs. Bret Michaels (get well soon, Bret!)
Josh: (Yes, Bret, We're pulling for a speedy recovery!)
Chico: Now the question... We know the Donald is not going to pre-record this. Are recent events going to factor into his final decision?
Josh: I think not. Remember the slogan in the show's opening credits...."Nothing Personal....It's Just Business"
Gordon: No. But should they? Yes. If Bret's condition is stress related, how in the world is he going to get through the taping without spontaneously combusting?
Chico: I have no idea. Let's go over the tale of the tape... Holly has outraised Bret, $350K to $140K.
Chico: As project manager, Bret has outpaced Holly... He has an undefeated record. She is 1-2.
Josh: It all depends on how well they take care of business in their final challenge.
Gordon: It does. I think though that Bret, barring an utter collapse (not literally), will win.
Chico: Well, the question: who has the better team? It's Bret, Summer Sanders & Darryl Strawberry... and it's Holly, Curtis Stone & Maria Kanelis.
Gordon: Holly has the much better team.
Josh: I think Bret has the better leadership skills, so he'll be able to guide Summer and Daryl.
Chico: Considering that Holly's team had a rough go at it before the final task even began... and that Bret's team is more well-rounded... Bret has it in the bag.
Chico: So is it going to be the winner who wins it for the team or the team who wins it for the captain.
Gordon: I think it's Bret's to lose, despite the fact that I think his team is weaker.
Josh: I'll put Bret at Even Money to win
Chico: This is going to be another interesting final. And I'll make it a sweep for the panel. Meanwhile, congratulations to Augustus on winning the Celebrity Apprentice.
Josh: What?
Gordon: He won't win that, but he'll have plenty to eat.
Chico: Well, not plenty, but he'll have a lasting meal.
Josh: Oh, that's right.
Chico: This week, the networks released their upfronts.
Gordon: Here's how upfronts work: we see what makes the schedule. We also see what DOESN'T make the schedule and hence is the main course for our buddy here.



Josh: DAH! *jumps behind the two of them*
Gordon: Sorry, Josh.
Chico: "Here's the fall schedule, please give us money". Basically what the upfront is. Let's go to the schedules. First up, CBS. Big moves from CBS. First big move: Survivor gets moved to Wednesday in the fall.
Josh: IDIOTIC!
Chico: Now it wins during basketball season when the show is otherwise preempted. Can it do the same in the fall?
Josh: Nope. What is the night of appointment TV? Thursdays! Since NBC had their Must-See lineups in the 80's, Thursday nights have ALWAYS been appointment TV!
Chico: Survivor's going up against "Lie to Me", ABC comedies, "Top Model", and "Undercovers", which is new. So it has a shot to win the time slot, a legitimate shot at that.
Gordon: I think the Fall edition on Wednesday will be ok. What happens during the Spring, when it goes up against both Idol AND Minute to Win it?
Chico: Hmm.. if it's what I think for AI, then it will also have a legitimate shot. At least to remain competitive.
Gordon: The Fall? Yes. The Spring? who knows? I do know that all the reality and game shows by CBS have been renewed. Yay!
Chico: Wee...
Josh: Thumbs up on that move.
Gordon: So no vittles from CBS for Augustus.
Chico: And to review the schedule at large...Follow me here...Big Bang to Thursdays, Survivor to Wednesdays, CSI NY to Friday, CSI Miami to Monday...Hawaii Five-0.
Josh: Yes, that's no Typo...Hawaii-Five-0 is back.
Chico: Got it? Good. To NBC. All three of its gamers are coming back.
Gordon: Whoo hoo!
Chico: Well, four, if you count Marriage Ref.
Gordon: Boo.
Chico: That'll be back Midseason, though where is anyone's guess. As for the others, both Minute to Win It and The Apprentice: Donald Puts America Back To Work will show up in March on their Sunday lineup against... well... all of what's on Sundays.
Josh: XM:HE, Amazing race, etc.
Chico: CBS has a big Sunday lineup. Fox has a modest Sunday lineup. ABC, also modest.
Josh: Modest, but proven winner.
Chico: So NBC has a lot of hill to climb that day. Hard, but not impossible to remain competitive. Though if they don't do anything about Minute to Win It, consider it another two-and-out game show for the Peacock. The Biggest Loser returns in the fall to Tuesday. It'll be business as usual (and business is good, mind you).
Josh: True.
Chico: So to ABC, where we finally toss Augustus a meal. I hope he likes Shark.
Josh: *lobs SharkTank his way from behind the two of them* Shark Tank didn't impress me....Dragon's Den on the Beebs, yes. But not Shark Tank.
Chico: The fin's a good source of ... well, something.
Josh: Have you never heard of Shark Fin Soup?
Chico: Yep. Hence, a good source of hyaluronic acid. Keeps the joints mobile. Shark Tank is not on the schedule. I think it'll be off of ABC's website by the end of the summer if not sooner. Meanwhile, Dancing with the Stars and my faaaaavorite show in the whole wide world "The Bachelor" will return.
Josh: We can't feed him that Bachelor franchise yet, eh?
Chico: Regrettably no.
Gordon: So sorry Chico. You can only dangle it in front of him.
Chico: Yeah. And in another twist... Augustus regurgitates another show... Remember Secret Millionaire on Fox?
Gordon: I do
Chico: That's coming to ABC Fridays. Betcha didn't see that coming.
Josh: You guys need to make a logo of a zombie hand sticking out of the grave for shows coming back to life.
Chico: We're working on that.
Gordon: Next up: The CW
Chico: Only one show coming in.... only one show coming back.
Josh: Top Model.
Gordon: America's Next Top Model also shows up Wednesdays, on a renewal. That Wednesday 8pm slot is going to be very very crowded
Chico: Question... how many more America's Next Top Models can we possibly spit out? It's not going to be a matter of, can it win against Survivor... but a matter of "Can it win against itself".
Josh: As long as it brings ratings to the network. That, aside from Smallville, is CW's banner show.
Chico: Glad you mentioned Smallville. The upcoming season will be its last. So get your superfill while you can.
Gordon: Augustus Luthor is hovering around it.
Josh: Yipes.
Gordon: Finally, we have FOX.
Chico: Gone is the So You Think You Can Dance experiment. It's back in the Summer where it belongs.
Gordon: And gone is Our Little Genius, which really never showed up to begin with.
Josh: *throws Our Little Genius to Augustus*
Augustus: Yummy
Chico: That's nice and hefty.
Josh: A lot of drama associated with that one.
Chico: In their place... we have a fall season of Hell's Kitchen. Wednesday at 9.
Josh: Hooray! More Gordon Ramsay swearing!
Chico: You know you (^_^)ing love it.
Josh: There went our TV-PG rating
Chico: It's up against the ABC comedies, SVU, Criminal Minds, and a show on the CW about cheerleaders called "Hellcats."
Gordon: Appropriate, no?
Chico: Hmm... it's going to be even keel with me against SVU and Criminal Minds.
Josh: Should be called "Catfight"
Chico: Criminal Minds is going to have a killer lead in.
Josh: In Survivor?
Chico: In Survivor.
Josh: Yes, a VERY killer lead in.
Chico: Granted, the season's going to disappoint compared to this last season. But it's still going to attract. And that's the important bit. But then again, Hell's Kitchen scored wherever you put it. And, of course, American Idol comes back without Simon. I'm going to wager a guess and say that with its contracted run times of 1 hour on Tuesdays and half an hour on Wednesday... it's probably going to blow up once to see who the new judge is. Then after that... probably fade.
Gordon: That could be the beginning of the end of Idol.
Chico: If I'm Fox, I'm going to go and say that this is the end for Idol and end the show on a high, rather than let it fade like, oh, 5th Grader? I mean, let's face it... Idol without Simon is basically "The One" or "Rock Star".
Gordon: Unless they grab a superstar, the show is going to go away quickly.
Josh: Unless they can find another acerbic person, I know a lot of Idol fans will jump to "X-Factor" when it comes to the States.
Chico: *raises hand* I might be tempted to audition. What, with the whole no age limit thing, and the whole group thing. Tell you what, I'll go get the hams, and they can audition.
Gordon: Actually, for the 300th show, they are doing something different.
Chico: They're doing something different?
Gordon: Gordon Jr. already told me that they are auditioning Dolphins to sing WLTI's main theme for charity.
Chico: They're going to get a bunch of dolphins to sing "We Interrupt This Programme"?
Gordon: They said they are branding the show 'Singing for a Porpoise'.
Josh: Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
Chico: Folks, if we didn't have bad jokes, we'd have no jokes at all.
Gordon: I should just Roll That beautiful Brain Footage now, shouldn't I?
Chico: We're saying it together this week.
Chico/Gordon: ROLL THAT BEAUTIFUL BRAIN FOOTAGE!

Doug: Live... Local... Latebreaking, from the four corners of the globe to your frontal lobe, this is a special edition of WLTI Brainvision News - Celebrating the 300th episode of We Love to Interrupt... and now here's Gordon Pepper, Chico Alexander, and the award-winning Brainvision News Team)

Chico: Once again, Doug Morris, the voice of Brainvision News.
Josh: Very cool, Doug, as usual.
Chico: First up, we gave you the business, let's go Greenlighting.

As you've heard, Survivor's greenlit for seasons 21 & 22... Their next stop... Nicaragua. They're going to tape both seasons back to back for that.

Josh: Is one of them a reunion season?
Chico: No.
Gordon: Is drug smuggling one of the challenges this season?
Chico: Sorry, but Adam Jasinski was not asked to play the game.
Gordon: Aw.
Chico: Sorry.
Gordon: What about Datebook reading?
Chico: No, but it should be. Let's get Augustus back in here.
Josh: How about no.



Josh: DAH! *runs and hides again*
Gordon: Wait Josh! I hear he likes teenagers!
Josh: One time I fed him, he bit my sleeve.
Chico: There's one more meal to have, and it's on the Datebook.
Josh: What is it?

Chico's Faaaaaavorite off-show, The Bachelorette, shows up on Monday. On Thursday, we start another season of So You Think You Can Dance. This time, with All-Stars. And on Friday... Deal or No Deal rides off into the sunset.

Gordon: Zombie head in a case?
Chico: Nice.
Josh: A pity. They never gave away the million without making multiple millions available on the board.
Chico: And about 110 people got screwed by rolling galleries. I think this week we had another one of those. I can tell you #6 Allyson was on a couple of weeks. That's just sad. 130 shows, and you can even bother to change out the gallery every week.
Gordon: Again, just sloppy casting, which has been a major issue of this season, which I think led to it's demise.
Chico: But that's neither here nor there now, isn't it?
Gordon: I'll take It's Academic for $200, Alex.
Josh: It's now in Augustus' hands. *Throws the number 13 briefcase to him*
Augustus: (Eats the case)
Gordon: Damn, he's hungry.
Chico: Damn. Well, let's wash it down then and get Fully Loaded...
Gordon: *Fart*
Chico: Ew.
Gordon: Well it's the 300th episode and Block isn't here. Gotta liven it up somehow.
Chico: Sheesh.

After finding success on the DS and the Wii, The Price Is Right is coming to PSN.

Chico: That's the Playstation Network for all y'all.
Josh: Very good!
Gordon: Well deserved.
Chico: It should play like the other console editions, but it'll be a downloadable as opposed to hard media. So if you're bored with Mega Man 10 (and I can't understand why you would be), you can pick this up. And now, folks who should really have been playing Mega Man 10 instead of, well, doing what they were doing to get into Gordon's Lack of Intelligence report, we call it Are you Smarter Than...
Gordon: And we got some fun ones this week.
Chico: Don't we always?
Josh: Yardstick at the ready, gent....

Are YOU Smarter than...Bruno Tonioli, who says the F-word live on the air during a live episode of Dancing With the Stars.

Josh: EXTREMELY (CENSORED) STUPID-OH! *slaps the desk with the yardstick*
Chico: No, Bruno, that's a BAD BRUNO!
Josh: Unlike the BBC, we don't really have a watershed. Thank heavens for the seven-second delay.
Gordon: But we do have fines from the FCC, which I have a feeling will be stopping on by ABC's desk of finances.
Josh: Actually, on the east coast, the F-word didn't make it out.
Chico: Nope.
Josh: The censor had a hair trigger and was able to silence it.
Chico: Thanks to the seven second delay.
Gordon: Unfortunately, this did.

Are YOU Smarter than...Gordon Ramsay, who now says that fat chefs are bad for the restauranteur business.

Josh: And he knows this from PERSONAL experience? *slaps the desk with the yardstick* SCHTUPIT!
Chico: He did use to weigh 250. But still... What the hell, dude?
Josh: I do remember him making fun of a few overweight Telly chefs on "The F Word"
Chico: He makes fun of overweight telly chefs. He makes fun of telly chefs. He makes fun of chefs. He makes fun.
Josh: Pot, this is Kettle. Kettle, Pot. Nice ta meet ya.
Gordon: Not smart. Anyhoo, we have some Haterade. Who wants it?
Chico: I'll take some.
Josh: *raises hand*
Gordon: Good. Then have some of this.



Josh: *Runs again*
Gordon: Well it's episode #300, so we made sure to bring in 3 zombies.
Chico: Dude, Augustus has been trained not to eat the moderators.
Josh: That's you two. I'm a guest!
Augustus: Braaaaaaiiiiins
Gordon: He's got a point.
Josh: If he wants Braaaaaains, send him to Jason Block. Not to me.
Gordon: Josh is right there, too. No brains to be had there.
Josh: Hey!
Chico: Ha!

Remember, There Goes The Neighborhood, the show that featured Matt Rogers? Well, there goes the series, as it's not on the Summer broadcast.

Josh: Good riddance.
Chico: Yup.
Gordon: We need to send Matt Rogers somewhere to get a new show.
Chico: How about Nigeria?
Josh: Going global, eh?
Chico: Yup.
Josh: My passport is in order.

Nigeria has its own sports-themed edition of Who Wants to Be a Millionaire entitled ... conveniently enough... "Sportsmillionaire"

Josh: That actually sounds good.
Chico: Yep.
Josh: If ESPN had the budget, I could see them doing it.
Chico: Oh yeah. But they're probably not going to. What, with the court case and all.
Gordon: Well other places do need contestants.
Chico: This is true.

How about Minute to Win It? Go to nbc.com/casting for all the deets on how you can be a part of season 2.

Chico: OR... Maybe you and five of your friends like solving puzzles.
Gordon: I do. Sounds like The Six to me.

"Six Minds" (formerly "The Six") is also casting. http://www.realitywanted.com/call/7404-now-casting-merv-griffin-entertainments-newest-prime-time-game-show

Gordon: And now for some media hoes.
Chico: (plays "Pimpin All Over the World")

In this week's Media Ho Report, Derek Hough may not return to Dancing With the Stars, Kathy Cox goes to Washington, Regis Philbin will be hosting the 37th Annual Daytime Emmys...Chris Daughtry's expecting twins, Simon Cowell goes on Oprah to talk about leaving American Idol, while Brett Michaels intends to show up for the finale of Celebrity Apprentice...

Josh:
Simon has his couch moment with Oprah. We get to see that he has Feelings!

The Amazing Race's Louis Stravato is cleared of all wrongdoing, Jesse James is selling his California Home, and James Clement (Survivor) will be on The Young and the Restless.

Chico: Good for him. Probably not "Ho of the Week" caliber, though.
Gordon: Nope. and that's hoeS of the week.
Chico: Ah. Shut my mouth then. Whataya got?
Gordon: I got Kathy Griffin, Ryan Seacrest, Meredith Vieira and Regis Philbin
Chico: Why, why, why and why?
Gordon: None of them will be winning a daytime Emmy for best game show host. All of them, however, portrayed voices in the now released Shrek Forever After.
Chico: Meredith Vieira.... Really...
Gordon: Really. She's Broomsy Witch. Which I've seen by the way. Have you seen it yet, Chico?
Chico: Not yet. But I do know it's the #1 movie this week.
Gordon: Go watch it. I recommend it.
Chico: Alright
Gordon: And those...are your hoes.
Chico: Okay, let's shut it down for this week.
