I miss George Carlin.

And while we're on the subject of faux heroes, I can't be the only one who heard about Manti T'eo and had the old music archive in the brain fetch "My Girlfriend Who Lives In Canada from Avenue Q:



Now, can we please start looking at teachers and fire fighters and dogs and cats who alert their people to house fires as heroes instead of a bunch of dumb jocks?

Congratulations to all the couples who got married in New York today, especially Rod and Ricky of Avenue Q, whose nuptials must be making Rick Santorum's head explode:


I do have to wonder, though, where Nicky was. Brokenhearted, perhaps? It would be irresponsible not to speculate.

Tasteless but Burning Question For Our Time
Posted by Jill | 8:12 PM
So....what happens to Avenue Q now? See why I ask around 2:35 in:



Jeff Marx, co-creator of the show, explains:
Jeff Marx, who conceived the Broadway musical Avenue Q with Robert Lopez, called up EW to remember Gary Coleman, and discuss some of the changes they would instill in their show, which boasts a character named for the late actor. “It’s a very sad day for all of us,” Marx says. “And we’re really sorry to hear this. We all were inspired by him for many, many years.”

Marx says that the show decided to alter some of the lines in the script, since they seem “inappropriate” now, but the show will go on. Marx says Avenue Q has even planned a tribute to Coleman, which will follow Friday night’s showing at New World Stages and be headed by the actress who plays Coleman, Danielle K. Thomas. “We all grew up watching and enjoying his work, and it’s just very sad to hear.”


Hey, Jeff...Corey Feldman is still around....
