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?
