Brandt’s Randt – Buying Your Pretty Face
I’m not anti-plastic surgery. I’m not against anything that’s someone’s personal choice, that doesn’t hurt anyone else, really. But I think it’s time we stopped making a big hairy deal about how well someone is aging when they’re not aging naturally. And that’s this week’s randt. …

Its crazy popularity is because it’s infectious and optimistic.  Sometimes I play it at my desk at work after the show, with my headphones on, just for a lift.  Pharrell is the  musical guest on SNL next week and if he doesn’t perform this song people won’t be, you know.

Late Night Laughs

They were real Canadian stars at that time. …
