TV Junkie: Phyllis Diller Back on the 'Tonight Show'; 'Idol' Deathmarch Continues

A Word or 56:
Thankfully I was doing my radio show last night and was spared the State of the Union, and therefore, a really bad hangover. It was (somewhat) reassuring to see some livid polarized response but half the time I feel like these guys are going through the motions. Two ways to disgust yourself tonight are: Crawlspace on IFC and Primetime: Medical Mysteries, enjoy.
