: You mean of this year, or of all time? This year I'd say the Ellen Degeneres show was probably the worst, followed by Jeter.
Ellen DeGeneres was way better than Jeter. And this is coming from someone who can't stand Ellen (and who's a Yankee fan, too). She at least seemed like she had some experience on camera-- and I think one joke in her monologue actually made me laugh, which'd be a first for her. Jeter just looked like a deer in headlights. In a few skits, I actually noticed him looking off to where the cue cards probably were, instead of where he was supposed to be looking.
Tangent: How come every time I loath a female comedian, she ends up coming out of the closet so that I can't insult her work without people thinking I'm a homophobe? First Ellen DeGeneres, and now Rosie O'Donnell. I mean, I've hated these people since before they were big. I have indie-hate credibility. And yet, nobody cares that I've hated Rosie O. since "Stand By Your Man"; they all think I'm jumping on the homophone bandwagon. Dammit.
