“Today”: It's only January 4th, and Matt Lauer has already cast two votes for the dumbest thing he's seen all year. Wow, way to be an optimist, Matty! But then again, they've already had no-warning trust fall guy, and the cast of that new MTV show "Buckwild" on, so it's probably a safe bet we can't get any dumber as a nation. At least until Monday...

“Let’s Make A Deal”: I’ve always wanted to get Zonked! I mean is there a better way to lose on a game show? You actually win something… it’s usually a barnyard animal or a broken down car, but it’s something! Everyone’s a winner!

“Ellen”: Call me crazy but I'm pretty sure what we saw on the show today was fake! I'm not talking about all the magic tricks, those were obviously real. I mean, it's magic! But Ellen's tan she was working with, that had to be fake… n’ bake!

“Anderson Live”: Either Anderson really loves pandas or he has trouble believing people, because he dove in nose first to the panda "poo-poo paper" just to make sure it was

“Today”: The stars (and I use that term loosely) of the controversial MTV show “Buckwild” were pretty tame and mostly unintelligible during their fourth-hour interview. And while “Today” hasn’t officially explained where Kathie Lee Gifford is this week, we can assume this is the reason she’s gone.

“CBS This Morning”: How did Andy from "Parks & Rec" make it into the super-intense thriller "Zero Dark Thirty"? I mean, I heart Chris Pratt and all... but did they think you can't spell "Navy SEALz" without "L-A-Z-Y"?

“Ellen”: According to the pictures she showed to Ellen, "Biggest Loser" host Alison Sweeney spent her holidays dominating a triathlon! Uh, yeah, me too! My holiday triathlon went great: I successfully pulled off the ten-course meal, the all-day shopping trip, and I totally nailed the two-day nap (it took a lot of training, but it was worth it!)

“Anderson Live”: Some fan created a picture of Anderson made entirely out of coffee! It's pretty well done I suppose, except you can't

“GMA”: As part of GMA Pop News, Lara Spencer reported that Jay-Z is writing the musical score for Leonardo DiCaprio's "Great Gatsby" movie. Some may be grumbling about historical authenticity, since most hip-hop was really, really underground back in the roaring '20s. But I think it sounds like a great idea, with a capital G-to-the-Grizzo!

“Anderson Live”: For some reason, guest co-host Carmen Electra brought Anderson a giant plate of spaghetti that was covered in meat sauce and topped with a mountain of cheese! And while he definitely enjoyed digging in, I think he had more fun discussing what the dish was called: “A Three Way!

“Today”: The wacky exercise segment today made me long for the days of the Abdominizer, the Thigh Master and the Gazelle. All of which can be found gathering dust in my garage!

“Live! with Michael and Kelly”: Wow, look at Kelly and Mike, back at work right after the New Year! It probably seemed kind of odd to Michael Strahan that they asked him to host a New
