California! You made it to 2010 without falling off the coast. Huzzah!

Welcome to the future, SLC! And Tucson! Laramie, stand up!

Bring the 2010 Illinoize, Central Time Zone! Not the Casbah, but close!

Daniel Tosh is hilariously unapologetic. In this video, he riffs about his hate for the midwest and his plan to fight homelessness. He's one of the only comedians today that goes after the things that people are afraid to say.

Just because the ball is going to drop for 2010 doesn't mean we can drop the ball on documenting every single second of the sociological experiment of Jersey Shore. We will never forget these new acquaintances. Let's learn more!

What are you watching tonight? Let us know in the comments.

That's it, we're calling a wrap on 2009. Please talk among yourselves on #crosstalk. Also: MisterHippity is hosting a Jersey Shore liveblog at 9pm; tomorrow Azaria and Foster will be around to nurse you through your hangover.

At the end of a year marked by countless celebrity deaths, insane pop trends, a shifting political and economic climate, and endless cultural wtfs, all one can say is... thank you? No, thank yew.

That's two days in a row that we've stumped everybody. To be fair, today's Freeze Frame was pretty hard. Click through for the answer.

The holidays usually mean that December is a slow traffic month around here. But after this month's series of big exclusives, we're ending 2009 with a new monthly traffic record of more than 33 million pageviews which tops McSteamy-driven August.

Jeez, guys- I found this just in the nick of time. Without these instructions from the Food Network's Ted Allen, I would have probably turned a fun gathering into some kind of Wet T-Shirt contest. Phew!

Ladies and gentlemen, your Hipster of the Decade: Carles, from Hipster Runoff.

Today at Gawker.TV, Andy Rooney is lonesome tonight, a grumpy anchor puts a damper on the newsroom's celebrations, Kathie Lee tries to sing again, more laughs at Steven Segall's reality show, and MANswers: the worst television show we've ever seen.

Nothing ruins an excellently executed feat of acrobatics like a poorly placed piece of furniture. Gymnasts: beware of the sinister sidetables!

It was only a matter of time before we got Jersey Whores, but now that it's here, our brain is about to explode. What is the result of a parody of a self-parody? Implosion? Destruction? Beauty? We're boggled!

In your last 2009 media column (crying all around): Scientologists now practice their nuttery journalism-style, E&P closes, Tim Tebow ready to lead Christian Soldiers against Fox, and Regis returns!

Brian Kilmeade—one-third of the legendary Fox and Friends triumverate—had quite the year. A year full of blunders, ignorance, terrible jokes, worse improvisation, and awkward double entendres. Here are his best moments.

MANswers is the most over-sexualized, man-centric, degrading-to-women, ear-curdling, vomit-inducing, ridiculous, and just-plain-terrible show we have ever seen. We could barely get through a couple minutes of the show, which makes us wonder who actually watches this crap?
