“My Wife Knows Everything” Beats “My Wife Doesn’t Know” In Hilariously-Called Horserace

This is fabulous. Monmouth Park racetrack announcer Larry Collmus is a real pro — no matter what the horses are named. In this hilarious race, those horses include a horse called “My Wife Knows Everything” and one called “My Wife Doesn’t Know.” The full clip below shows the entire race, with the two horses battling it out around the track until they pull ahead in a dead-head battle for supremacy in an argument as old as The Honeymooners. If you were born in the 80s and don’t get that, look it up. It’s hilarious to hear Collmus’ voice rise in pitch as he excitedly calls the race — never missing a beat.

Olivia Munn “Tries Out” As Daily Show Correspondent

Whoa! The Daily Show has another female correspondent! And — whoa! It’s Olivia Munn! And — whoa! She was awesome. Munn has the chops: her years on AOTS have shown that she’s far, far more than a ridiculously hot-bodied babe (though she certainly is that). She’s got great timing, fearlessness about subject matter and always brings a sense of fun. Last night, she more than held her own with her more experienced peers. Never mind bringing her own slavering horde of fanboys to the Daily Show demographic (in case they’re not there already). Expect this “try out” to become permanent very soon — if she decides she wants it.

Meta-Meta-Hitler: Now He’s Upset About All Those Hitler Videos

Oh, Internet, I love you. First you turn a dramatic scene from a turn of history depicting Adolf Hitler learning, essentially, that he's just lost his war into a series of hilarious parodies depicting his displeasure with the X-Box, the iPad, Leno's return to late night, and his plans for Burning Man, amongst others — then you turn that on its head by depicting Hitler's displeasure with all the parody videos about him on the Internet. Meta to the meta, with a generous side of awesome.

Yesterday, we found out what the latest mysterious and life-changing product from Apple — the heralded multi-purpose new “Tablet” e-reader — would be called. It’s called the iPad.

Is it just us, or does that remind you of stocking up on Kotex?

Trick question: It’s not just us. It’s the ENTIRE INTERNET.
