Tonight on Fox, “The Great American Celebrity Spelling Bee.”
Okay, well, we’ll leave aside the obvious comments about how Fox is likely to make something as educational and wholesome as a spelling bee into the latest low-brow reality show.
No, instead, let’s talk about the appellation “celebrity.” Here’s the list of contestants:

  • Harry Anderson
  • Corbin Bernsen
  • Erin Brodie
  • Alice Cooper
  • Brett Butler
  • Vincent Pastore
  • Eric Roberts
  • Meshach Taylor
  • George Wendt

Now, I ask you. Celebrities? Or unemployed people?
