What�s in a name � Mark A.
I drew: Ramble

Wow! That�s a lot of people you cast. If Halle Berry were a pie she would be a apple pie because apple�s have great shape (as does Halle) apple�s come in various colors and flavors, and she�s a cross genre actress. I�m not a big pie fan myself, but that�s my guess. There might be a better kind of pie out there, but I can�t think of it.

Side note: This is an excellent parody of a talk show set up wise, and the top 6 was my favorite part (although which cereal does Cheri Oteri sound like? I�m confused�but I may have just skipped too many breakfasts in my life time.) I didn�t feel like the idea of them being Scottish-Irish, Russian named twins from Mozambique is all that funny, nor was the Porcelain Gum bit, but again, excellent format parody. The characterization of the host was great.

Rumsfeld�s Press Conference � Mark Jennings Reese II
I drew: Boo

I don�t know if Brockaw�s rant about season finales really makes that much sense to me. Also, because I don�t pay attention to much on politics I�m pretty uninformed about how Rumsfeld should be characterized so I�m just going to assume you�re doing it right. The first lines come off very rude and I�m not sure the character is given enough motivation to act that way �I�m a man you�re a woman let�s not confuse things� that sort of thing. I�m not sure if that�s a correct portrayal or not. I wasn�t really feeling the blues brothers line, I don�t know if the audience would pick up on it being a blues brothers quote if you didn�t tell them. And so I don�t know if it�s realistic for the reporter to pick up on either, it just seems out of place and awkward to me.

Side note: I really liked the second half. Calling the reporter �missy� and the return �I�m a dude� was very nice. And basically everything after the Blues Brother�s quote I really enjoyed. I liked the pauses you worked into the writing in order to confey speech patterns, nice writing touch.

Double Trouble � DGR4
I drew: Woo

This idea has a lot of potential for fun, I think you could have taken it farther, have multiple exchanges of switching twins. Or the guys could be twins too. Maybe the twins want to switch dates for a while. Or each thinks its exciting to have two guys in one night. Or the guys getting frustrated thinking his date has amnesia or something like that. There are a lot of ways to justify why sitting at the wrong table with a look a like girl would cause certain reactions other than the true reason. Anyway, great idea, could have gone so much further with it. My favorite line: �that was for always making fun of my My Little Pony collection!� Nice.

Jay-C show � Mark Jennings Reese II
I drew: Ramble

As far as late night talk show hosts go I have to say I greatly prefer Conan O�Brien to any of the others. My favorite line of his is �Stay cool my babies.� The other night, Jimmy Fallon was on and Jimmy did a bit where he did an impression of Conan doing his opening monologue. It was a very good impression but I realized how much smaller Jimmy is than Conan. That�s a red headed giant! Or Fallon is a midget and I never knew.

Side note: The monologue stuff is a very good replica of actual late night talk show joke styles. I still think the cumloads and cumshots are gross, but I�m glad the lights were turned off. Thank you. Adding Bevan�s Seinfeld piece was a nice touch, and putting him down as a co-writer was very kind of you.
