Last night's 20/20: Before They Were Famous unearthed the dark, greasy, borderline-jheri-curled past of this year's Oscar nominees. Being nominated for a role in a mediocre, vastly-overrated film isn't Clooney's only reason for hanging his head in shame!

This guy seems to think his bong is unbreakable. Surprise! It's not.

Adult Animation is becoming mainstream, but the line such a thing must walk to capture a real audience keeps thinning. Will Ugly Americans reach a real audience, or will it vanish as so many attempts at "innovation" seem to do?

Last night Sarah Palin did a little stand-up routine on the Tonight Show. And y'know what? She wasn't bad. The jokes were basically stupid, but her delivery really wasn't awful. It made us think: Give this woman a talk show.

President Obama just gave another speech explaining what his health care reform plan would do, and how it is not scary. This time, though, he was surrounded by doctors in lab coats! He also finally got real:

The most recent Funny or Die original accomplishes something other than being funny or dying: It unites four(!) generations of legendary SNL cast members in the same room together. Quite a feat. Oh, and it's really funny.

Last night on The Millionaire Matchmaker we saw a first-hand account of how to ruin a glamorous date with one of Patty's millionaires: showing up to the date schnockered. Here, Angel shows us how to ruin a night in Vegas.

For the first part of the date, Jimmy D decided to throw down $50,000 in a poker game with Angel. She doesn't know how to play at all, and what's worse—she reeks of alcohol! In this clip, Jimmy D mentions his concerns for Angel's drunkenness, but plays along and teaches her the game.

David Paterson is now in trouble for some other unethical thing he did.

Well they really tried, didn't they? After last week's unmitigated disaster, all the singing kids had to do their best to buoy this season back up. Did they succeed? Did they fail? Yes on both counts!

What is this country coming to when a child can't direct air traffic at JFK without causing a big todo?

Why is it so hard to get through to teenagers? If it's not coming home after curfew, it's that they're always getting pregnant. Valerie is no different, only this time the babydaddy actually has something to offer: mad beatboxing skillzzz.

Didn't get to the movies much in 2009? Having been forced to sit through all two hours of "He's Just Not That Into You" in a theater with sorority girls, I'm wishing these guys had put this out sooner.

The National Magazine Awards are open to the internet riff raff this year. There's a very special short bus-style affair for the digital media this month, at The Sheraton New York, which is really very nice. Let's see the finalists!
