Carrie Ann Inaba Takes a Tumble — Gilles Rescues Her

The great part about Carrie Ann Inaba’s wipe-out on Dancing With the Stars was the very hot Gilles Marini rushing over to rescue her, followed by Bruno Tonioli’s hilarious “me too” mock-fall in hopes that Gilles would also come to his rescue. And let’s not forget the very memorable one-liner from Tom Bergeron (A.K.A. the improvisational God). Watch below.

David Arquette Gives a Howard Stern Shout-Out on DWTS

If you watched David Arquette’s jive last night on Dancing With The Stars, you might have noticed him say a strange word during his post dance discussion with Brooke Burke. So what is “Baba Booey”? For all the non Howard Stern fans out there, “Baba Booey” is the nickname of Howard Stern’s producer, Gary Deli’Abate, and random Stern fans everywhere often shout out this nickname on national television as a tribute to their radio hero. The best part of Arquette’s shout-out is that Tom Bergeron is also a huge Howard Stern fan, and he quickly followed Arquette’s cue by also saying the nickname. I suppose Arquette took Howard Stern’s recent advice to be “more himself.” Watch the 6:30 mark in the video below to see his tribute.

‘Dancing With the Stars’ Repeats Yesterday’s Show — I’m No Fool

Want to know an easy way for a television network to pocket a ton of ad revenue without doing any work? Run a clip-show! Tonight’s Dancing With the Stars “results show” consisted of an hour long recap of yesterday’s show, and I found myself completely baffled. “At some point they have to have original content,” I thought. No such luck. At the very least ABC could air back-stage material or dress rehearsal footage for the first hour. Instead, the entire hour consisted of the brilliant Tom Bergeron wasting his skills on just introducing yesterday’s dances, which I could have easily watched online instead. I understand that ABC wants to maximize their best product, but isn’t it possible to have original content for that initial hour? Sure, it’s possible. But it’s also expensive, and I’m guessing the theory at ABC is — why do it if we don’t have to? I know your tricks ABC.
