International Space Station Commander Chris Hadfield is surely one of the coolest people in the universe.

Here's how he said good-bye at the end of his 5-month mission commanding the ISS. It's brilliant. And the Kubrickian vanishing-point linear perspective around 4:30 is just stunning. Well, it's all stunning. Enjoy:



STORY: Chris Hadfield prepares for return to Earth with rendition of Space Oddity aboard the ISS

His photography from space has been mesmerizing. And this take on the Bowie classic (to which Bowie responded via Twitter) is magnificent. Hadfield filmed most of it himself. Anyone who takes a guitar into space is alright with me, especially if he knows how to play it. And Hadfield's personalization of the lyrics are wonderfully poignant.

Yeah, that seemed just a little too good to be random. Well, more than seemed. It never truly felt legitimate. I presume most of us suspected that it was bogus. In the end . . . no surprise.

If you consider it as a skit, which it ultimately is, it's still pretty funny. If Leno had framed it that way, it would have been solid. Trying to ruse an Internet-wired world? Bad idea.

Of course it is faked. Leno doesn't have a creative bone in his body. It wasnt funny before, it is even less funny now.

That "Leno doesn't have a creative bone in his body" is not in dispute. He's a terrible hack. Yet one believes, however optimistically, that the revolving door "writing staff" might cough up a gem every now and then if only to keep themselves employed.

It's not clear from that if it was deliberately staged or if that couple was trying to get on that spot again. Or maybe they were tipped by someone from the show. Either way, people working at the show surely recognized her from her previous appearance - they had to, right?

If Jay knew and still gave his line about how it almost seems like a plant - then he sucks way more than I thought.

They couldn't have "just happened to show up at that very spot at that very time" unless they were either tipped or (more likely) contracted, certainly, yes.

What really sold that bit? Not the singing. No. It was her seemingly uncontrollable laughing in the passenger seat of the car while he launches into that Bonjovi tune. That was well struck.

Late night shows are nothing more than vehicles for advertising whatever movie or TV show or actor or product with which a studio is either associated or owns. It's a wasteland. Perhaps the people behind Leno are waking up to the fact that the only way anyone will pay attention to them these days is via YouTube. The fact that they had to fake spontaneity is evidence that they are down to their last cynical crumbs. After all, Leno's so-called legitimate material catches nobody's attention.

"Say . . . did you hear about that guy in Cleveland? Y'know that guy? Not the kidnapper guy but the guy that rescued the kidnapped women guy? Yeah? That guy. The funky guy. You know what I'm talking about. Anyway. Did you see his hair? Really? Look at that guy's hair? Hehehehe. Really, that guy needs a haircut. That's what his reward should be. A lifetime supply of haircuts. Hehehehehe. That's funny, right? Because of his hair. See? See? He has really bad hair. Anyway . . . some of you may have seen that President Obama . . . now, now, now, he's the President, stop that . . . some of you may have seen that President Obama played golf this weekend. And the funny thing? Hehehehehe. You know what the funny thing is? He spent more time in the sand than he did the last time he went to Hawaii . . . Hehehehehe. . . . See? That's funny because President Obama is from Hawaii. And they have sand there. In Hawaii. . . . Okay! We have a great show tonight . . . "

When you work for someone who isn't creative or original, someone who doesn't ask you to be creative or original why would you be? This is a guy who hired Stuttering John to try and capture some of Howard Stern's mojo.

What's sad is that Leno used to be funny. Years ago, before he started doing late night talk shows. In fact, he was one of Letterman's best recurring guests. Of course, that was probably close to 30 years ago.

I was working an event where Jay Leno did some stand-up. He did a joke about the Menendez brothers. In 2003.

Yes, because Stuttering John was the driving force of creativity behind the show. [insert eye roll] It always amazes me hearing comedians say that Leno was the best stand up of his time. I just can't see it, because his monologues are so horrible, his interviews so lame, and his cadenece and delivery are just so annoying.

Heh heh. Her squats piss me off though. Ass to grass. That half squat shit is ridiculous.

And what's funny in CrossFit are the puns that people make for T-Shirts (The WODfather, The WODshed..etc). I really wanted a 70's throwback picture with my face superimposed on John Holmes's and be known as "The Real Johnnie WOD." I think it would be great.
