LIVE FROM NY- IT'S COOKIE MONSTER!!!!

Okay. Wrap your head around this, kids. Remember way back, a long time ago when there was a Facebook campaign to get our beloved Betty White to host the iconic SNL? And it worked? She went on to host the show to it's highest rating in a long time,  schooled any host that has came along after her, and even got an Emmy for it back in September. With this campaign working, people's voices were heard on an iconic show, accolades were given, and Betty White is now WHITE HOT. She is Hollywood's it girl. Enter Cookie Monster.

I saw this in a message I got today, and I can't tell if this is parody of the Betty White FB campaign, or if Cookie and our friends at Sesame are legit, but he wants to host SNL. He even made a video showing us what a  show would look like with him as our Master of Ceremonies......



Very funny video. Cookie Gaga? Brilliant! Perfect Parody. But is it? Does he really want to start a Facebook campaign bombarding studio 8H? I don't know. In my opinion, this is a bad idea. I know you are shocked to hear that. I don't think every Tom, Dick, and Cookie needs to try to host the show after Betty's fan-led campaign. I also think the there is a whole heap of problems that would come to the writers. Cookie is a very two-dimensional character. A whole hour of him doing sketch comedy may be a train wreck. But, I think a cameo would be fantastic.

The best Muppet to host SNL, is the emcee that has the most experience, and I am sure would bring a pig, bear, and whatever with him: Kermit! But, how much fun is all of this? Who ever came up with the idea of Cookie auditioning for SNL should know that they are kinda brilliant!

REALLY OLD ADS PART 1

I have come across some vintage ads that would not be so PC today and are downright so funny they are naughty! I just have to share and you should tell me what you think!

Who gives a spanking over Coffee? Oh,
and I don't own this, even though they
stole my name...

Nothing says Christmas, like Santa, lightin' one
up! Isn't that beard a smoke hazard?

   

Nothing stops the waving of a
cane like "thorazine!"

                                                                  









Now, these were all legit ads back in the day. Can you believe it? Part two is coming and those ads are even more fun and even more scandalous than a smoking Santa! Can you handle it?!?!?!                    

I HAVE NO CONTROL OVER THIS...

Just to let everyone know, Mr. Whatnot is now on TWITTER. I had nothing to do with this. He did this by himself. He writes his own stuff, and I, Chase Beecher, am not to be held accountable for things he tweets. What an animal. Follow him for a good laugh, or to see what is new in the life of polyester! I guarantee you it won't be boring!

THE WORST

Mr. Whanot and Young Sim are good pals and they go way back! WAAAY back. Sim knew Mr. Whatnot when he was just a throw pillow!
Well, the other day, Whatnot wanted to get in on some of the "interview action" and asked a few questions of his own. It didn't go well. At all. Let's just say that agents and managers were fired at the end of taping. Take a look (if you dare!) for yourself......

THE CHASE BEECHER SPECIAL PART ONE

Yes, you read that right. I have my own special. I have grown some journalistic integrity. I recently got my Barbra Walters on and sat down with artist Young Sim, (also a close friend and collaborator of mine) and discussed his new mix tape among other topics. Take a look at part one of my interview, and part two will be coming soon, along with more video from my sit down with him! We had fun! Who knew I could be serious for ten minutes?

IS IT NUTS OUT THERE?!

These are some hilarious crazy things that have been brought to my attention in the last 24 hours.

The first of these is from Driscoll Middle school in Texas. Jason Garza pulled possibly the greatest quarterback sneak in middle school history! (Even bigger than when I ran the ball in seventh grade and lost my pants. I will tell that story later. I promise. It's a good one. It's.... breezy.) Take a look. This is amazing!!



The second amazing thing comes from the good ol' "Wheel of Fortune." Have you heard about this yet? Some people are questioning if this is real or not, and if it was a set up, but check out Pat and his stuttering and stammering. His pure shock makes it look like a pretty genuine moment.  This woman guessed the phrase with only one letter. Take a look...



My favorite memory of "The Wheel" was watching with my grandpa. He was one of the faithful. When I was young, I was watching with him, and there was a very, well, large man as a contestant. He bent down the spin the wheel and almost tipped over. Grandpa turned to me and spoke with wisdom, "That guy is a little husky, isn't he?" We then turned back to the TV and watched this man wipe his brow and try to catch his breath. Poor guy. Poor husky guy.

CONAN IS BACK, BUSH WROTE A BOOK, AND... WELL JUST LISTEN TO DAVE

Last night on Letterman, that Dave guy that comes out and tells the jokes was on a role. He talked about that Conan guy starting his new show on cable, former President Bush writing a releasing a book, (accompanied by a clip segment of Bushie's finest moments from leading the freed world. It was so funny, I cried. Cried!) He even mentioned what Leno and Hilary Clinton may have in common. He even mentioned Dancing with the Stars. Why is it called "Dancing with the Stars?" We only really know about one person on that show per season. I call it "Dancing with the STAR." Back to Late Night...
Dave was in rare form last night, and you need to see it....

THE MUPPETS!

So, my friends at Entertainment Weekly this week have a first look at the new Muppet movie that went into production a few weeks ago. This is a big deal. Everyone in Hollywood is talking about this film starring Jason Segal and Amy Adams and a host of celebs fulfilling the "Celebrity Cameo" roles, this promises to be the Muppet movie I have been waiting for. It is currently titled "The Muppets" and I am sure that is only a working title. That is a terrible name for a Muppet Movie. Well, not terrible, it does explain who they are...
Anywho, The Frog and The Pig and Bear are back! There is even a new Muppet named Walter, that you can see at the front of the photo holding an iphone. (These guys are hi-tech!) Details are very hush hush on the script, but Disney is banking on a hit. They even called in the boys over at Pixar to help with the script. Expect to hear more things as filming continues. Look at how good everyone looks! The Frog hasn't aged a day...

SUSAN'S PERFECT DAY

I love me some Susan Boyle. Not only is she the sexiest of the female singer's today, she has the voice of an angel. Her new single, a cover of Lou Reed's "Perfect Day," has had it's video released. I am really confused. She sings about having a perfect day, being in the park and at the zoo and whatever, but she sings about it stuck out on a dock in the dark! If she was in Alaska, she could probably see Russia! Check out this video and see for yourself.....

Susan Boyle's Perfect Day from the album "The Gift" available in November....

GOING BALL-ISTIC!

My nephew, Boobie, played soccer this last fall. He is five and is quite the little superstar. By superstar, I mean he is super strong, and star I mean everyone watches him. Everyone watches him tackle all the other children. Boys, girls, his team, the other team, it doesn't matter! I think he is more suited for football. Like NFL football. Forget this pee-wee league stuff. Boobie, despite his nickname, is one tough little man!

I took him to one of his games and found out that he is fond of the art of the tackle first hand by watching him. No one in the crowd knew I was his uncle and I got to listen to the horror from the other parents. He never was off the ball though! Until, he was made goalie. Then he was placed in the goalie box and he proceeded to stick his head and hands in the goal net and look the other way. Like I said, football is his thing. He was eventually thrown out of the game. (What five year old is thrown out of a soccer game!? Funny!) He sat next to me and watched his team win. He was happy. The other parents in the crowd were like angry townsfolk from a Frankenstein movie, and I think they wanted him taken out. They saw this little boy as a monster! He didn't hurt anyone! I talked with him about tackling, and once they put away their pitch forks and torches everyone was okay. No one got hurt. There was a little girl that spent more time on the grass than the ball, but I think she just tripped a lot. Gravity hated her! Like I said, no one got hurt. Little kids and sports and their parents are funny.  Parents need to chill out a little when their kids play. It wasn't the world cup, folks. Sorry to say, your kid bent nothing like Beckham.

So, before the game (massacre) started I took a pre-game interview with Boobie to get a little soccer advice and to hear what he had to say about playing for his team. It is a hoot. Like I said, no one got hurt. Maybe, my feelings, but I got over it. With therapy. Take a look. Oh, and it's subtitled. It's funny.

PUMKINCEPTION.... UM, WHAT?!

 Looks just as confusing as the summer blockbuster, but this one is more holiday-appropriate.

 Thanks to Collegehumor.com for this. 

A HORSE IS A HORSE, OF COURSE...

....but not when they are rockin' the raddest Halloween costume ever! 

Beat that, Mr. Ed!!!  Horsie love cookies!! OM NOM NOM NOM NAAAAY!!!!
