Republicans may find this funny. Democrats? Not so much.

Is there anything better than watching someone embarrass him or herself on Wheel of Fortune?

For reasons that remain as mysterious as why Carrot Top still sells out in Vegas, this five-year-old clip from Judge Judy has gone viral.

Alex Trebek is a cultural institution, a beacon of knowledge and grace under pressure. Everyone loves him. Which is why it’s always amusing to watch the unflappable host of Jeopardy say silly words and phrases in that reliable deadpan of his. A recent episode of the immortal game show saw him forced to say the name “Turd Ferguson,” which should amuse anyone with a passing knowledge of modern comedy.

The reviews for Stephen Colbert’s debut as the new Late Show host were mostly positive. Our own Matt Singer said the show got off to a “solid start” as Colbert took over for David Letterman, but the show almost didn’t get off to a start at all. On his second show, Colbert revealed that because of editing and technical glitches, his first episode almost didn’t make it on air.

Because who better to teach you about rap than two nerdy white guys?

Inspiration for the next Correspondents' Dinner?

Alert, alert: Will Smith still has it. The star of the upcoming con man romantic comedy drama (co-ma rom-com-dram?) Focus hit The Late Show last night to chat it up with host David Letterman and, oh, yeah, to just randomly rap “Gettin Jiggy Wit It” alongside Letterman’s own band. Sure, most late night guests just walk out on stage, give a big hello, and sit down, but not Smith, who seemed determined to remind everyone of his rap roots.

While any and all live performances of Ed Sheeran's 'Thinking Out Loud' are literally perfection, Ellen DeGeneres just made one rendition that much better.

Like many of us, 'Tonight Show' host Jimmy Fallon appears to believe that Hollywood superstar Bradley Cooper can do anything -- and, based on his impressive resume of stage and screen roles and accolades, the guy can't be too off the mark. But there is one that Cooper isn't so great at: music. It's sort of surprising, really, and even the overly solicitous Fallon was a little dumbstruck when Cooper admitted that his musical talents are minimal on last night's show.

For all the brilliant contestants we see on game shows, it's always funnier to watch ones who are somewhat incompetent.

If we ever get on 'Jeopardy!' but don't know the final answer, we hope we have the guts (and charm) to go out like Ari here.
