American Idle notices a startling similarity between seminal corpse-desecration film Weekend at Bernie's and tonight's invalid-exploitation special on NBC, the Maria Shriver-hosted Siegfried & Roy: The Miracle. Someone tipped us off about the special shortly after the interview was conducted, and it still sounds like nothing more than a crass infomercial for Father of the Pride, which is to say there is absolutely no way we're going to miss it. We're most curious to find out if tiny NBC Uni head Jeff Zucker had Roy hollowed out so he could climb inside to answer Shriver's faux-concerned questions, or if he spared no expense and had a fully-functioning animatronic replica created for the occasion.
