This Saturday Night Live sketch of Eddie Murphy doing James Brown’s Celebrity Hot Tub Party has really stood the test of time. Its still one of the funniest sketches in Saturday Night Live’s history. Notice that its not something that needed to be done over and over and over again.
The buxom Columbian beauty has become a household name because of her role on Modern Family as trophy wife 
Gloria Delgado Pritchett. Still, Sofia Vergara has taken what could have been a pure eye candy role and shown real talent as a comedy actress… enough where she was nominated for an Emmy. The 38 year old is a natural blond who dies her hair dark for most of her roles.
Biography - Vergara was born in Barranquilla, Atlántico, Colombia. Her mother, Margarita Vergara Dávila de Vergara, is a homemaker, and her father, Julio Enrique Vergara Robayo, produced cattle for the meat industry.
Random Fact – Her nickname given to her by her family is “Toti”
Partial Filmography
Screw Betty White, it’s Cookie Monster’s pop culture moment. Cookie Monster should host SNL immediately. See his audition tape below where he does the opening monologue, his version of Magruber and a Lady Gaga parody.
Nick Nolte is totally off his rocker. In this TV news special thing about preserving your life, watch as the 48hrs actor gives you a peek inside his weird life. Please note that this was taped before his awesome mug shot (included for your viewing pleasure). If you are pressed for time go right to 4:20 where he passes out during a breathing test and 5:00 where he is playing Dance Dance Revolution.
Who hasn’t seen the Antoine Dodson video at this point? Dodson is a former resident of the Huntsville, Alabama, Lincoln Park housing project, whose interview on the local news became an Internet meme and resulted in an auto-tuned song with The Gregory Brothers which has appeared on the Billboard Hot 100 list. Dodson’s interview was in response to an alleged house intrusion and alleged attempted rape of his sister. The seriousness of the alleged crime and news report gets crazy the second Antoine lets his inner diva let loose to the TV cameras.
The original interview:
The Bedroom Intruder Song:
Tim James is running for governor of Alabama. I guess there must not be a lot going on down there as his entire platform in this commercial is making sure that the driver’s license exam is only offered in English. Bonus points for his dramatic looking down and then back up at the camera at the end of the commercial. Negative points for insulting the intelligence of everyone in Alabama.
