He hosts America's Funniest Home videos, too, and he's pretty good there also. I seem to remember him from Boston TV when I was a kid as well. (Along with Liz Warner and Bob Lobel and Jorge Quiroga.)
Book: Yes, I'd forgotten you're moonlighting as a criminal mastermind now. Got your next heist planned? Simon: No. But I'm thinking about growing a big black mustache. I'm a traditionalist.

Because books.
He was actually really funny on Chelsea Lately a week or so ago. I guess he wrote a book or something? Much funnier -- in a more wicked way -- than I expected.

What's crazy is that they still have the same weathermen from the 80s!

I had a little crush on Bob Lobel when I was, like, 10. The kind of crush 10 year olds have when they want the cute guy to date their mom (mine was single and actually dating and age-appropriate and all. Except I think Bob Lobel was married.)

It's equally strange hearing Bill Kurtis's voice on every other A&E show as well as those wireless commercials--he was the co-anchor on Chicago's CBS affiliate 10:00 news in the 1970s/80s. And Lester Holt (now all over MSNBC) was on the local NBC affiliate in the 1980s.

Totally. And we actually saw him one time, shopping downtown or something, and it was so exciting!!

God, I hated the way Adam sang that song. Hated the interpretation. But he sure can sing.

Seriously. I thought he turned that beautiful, very raw, spare song into elevator music. ICK. He can sing, no doubt, I just don't want to listen most of the time.
I feel like Paula is stuck in the 80s. Terence Trent D'Arby? Really?

"And to be clear, I am the hell. And the high water."
Have you heard Mary J. Blige and U2 do "One?" It's a little much, IMO, though I kind of like it.
I love "One" - one of my favorite songs on Achtung Baby and Adam murdered it. He can sing, but he murdered it.

Yes! Husband and I were actually saying how much we like that version.
