I recently spoke with Spike Feresten to get his take on why fans are so emotionally connected to the show. Fan interactivity and no-frills comedy attract loyal fans.
A few quick searches on Technorati confirms it: We're not all talking about Palin. The Obama machine continues to dominate the web, with mentions of his name in 1.7 million blog posts.
It's suddenly 1999 again, when we all thought that accurately calling a candidate "unqualified" would make him a laughing stock. But the joke was on us: the cheap shots generated controversy, which helped land him in the White House.
Sadly, with the advent of antidepressants and the rise of Disney on the Billboard charts, Kid Rock and Tommy Lee's slap fight last year may have provided the show's last unscripted punch.
McCain makes fun of Obama for being a celebrity -- McCain just pulled off the political equivalent of Britney Spears' wedding to Jason Alexander.
The same team that put together Britney Spears' last tour created the stage where Barack Obama accepted the Democratic Presidential Nomination last night. Is that a problem? Not really.
Last week a mix of water and sanitation experts gathered for World Water Week in Stockholm, Sweden to mull over the world's biggest public health crisis. The problem is that not enough people paid attention.
When I set out to make my film "America the Beautiful," one of the first things I did was ask 200 women if they felt attractive or possessed a healthy attitude about their bodies--only two said yes.
If Britney or Paris were to claim they were virgins, the media and public would go into apoplexy, but McCain can be equally dishonest about important policy issues, and virtually nobody says a word.

Britney Spears. Michael Phelps. I'm surprised they didn't think of this themselves. Besides the mob of cameras permanently attached, they have so much in common. Besides the fact that for awhile they had the same hairdo.
Talking about Paris and Britney is not talking about healthcare and Iraq. There were 85 million potential voters who didn't vote in the last election. Obama needs to let them know what he can do for them.
Joan Allen is a quiet, steady, pre-possessing performer who combines her all-too-evident God-given skill with an understated style and allure, and also happens to make lots of extremely good pictures.
A whole lot of Americans are getting weary of seeing and hearing about Obama -- nearly half of independents said they saw too much of him.
The new McCain campaign tactic unfolded in the aftermath of The New Yorker cover and taps into the notion that black people can ascend to popular status only as entertainers.
Honor is the cornerstone of the McCain campaign, but there is little honor in his campaign. We get sleazy attack ads. We get phony flip-flop policy positions. We get his nasty temper and ugly jokes.
