Richard Dawson

Courtesy of AprilWinchell.com, we have Match Game superstar and Family Feud host-extraordinaire Richard Dawson - displaying his vocal chops with the psychedelic and very groovy "Apples and Oranges".

Stick around to hear the shock ending!

Dr. Strangelove

Here's a kid re-enacting a famous scene from Dr. Strangelove.

He completely nails the George C. Scott role, and adds a number of awkward pauses that were totally missing from the Kubrick version.

Dickipedia

Let's welcome Dickipedia to the growing network of vitally important online reference sources.

Dana Carvey

Would you like to read a really sarcastic overview of Dana Carvey's acting career? Sure you would!

And let's keep the Carvey-inspired schadenfreude rolling with a look back at the impossibly negative reviews for The Master of Disguise (above).

The Riddler

Since "Batman" is all the freakin' rage these days (Isn't it funny how Bat-Mania sweeps the nation every twenty years or so?) - we present the greatest novelty record ever recorded by a riddler... The Riddler performed by the late, great Frank Gorshin.

City Lights

In one memorable episode of Blackadder Goes Forth, Rowan Atkinson's character describes Charlie Chaplin as being "about as funny as getting an arrow through the neck...and then discovering there's a gas bill tied to it".

There was a time when I might have agreed with this assessment of Chaplin - but then one day I actually sat down and watched City Lights, Modern Times, and a few of his other classic films - and became a fan for life.

TCM is showing a bunch of them all-day tomorrow (Saturday) - including my favorite: City Lights. Some people say the ending is the greatest in movie history; it's certainly up there.

City Lights airs tomorrow at 4:15 PM EDT. If you haven't seen it yet, please do - and let me know what you think of it (and the ending).

Ludacris

Here's a preview of the new Ludacris song, "Politics as Usual".

Barack Obama should immediately make this his official campaign song.
