Loved Monkey

So the show Ed was on playing another guy named Some Guy was on VH1 this weekend, starting with the pilot. I'm pretty sure Love Monkey is gone the way of the latest Andy Richter show, and I'm not really missing it.

What I have been missing is stuff on Tivo, and as I was eating dinner (fruit and Doritos as it's Easter and close to midnight) so I watched Letterman from something like March 19th. David Spade got the fast forward, Sarah Vowell got watched, then I left the room for some cookies as musician Teddy Gieger made his TV debut. Only it wasn't.

Teddy played a guy on Love Monkey, a bold new talent discovered on the pilot that allowed Ed to have a fighting chance once he got fired from his job and moved back to Stuckeyville, only this Stuckeyville includes a fat Jason Priestly. And Love Teddy Monkey is a musician who looks and sounds exactly like Teddy and, oh yeah, his debut song is the same song that he played on Letterman.

Weird weird meta advertising.

Next post, no kidding, will be full of shit. About shit. Mostly shit. It's a theme post.

Yeah, Teddy Geiger is everywhere now. He's Columbia Records' new wunderkind (Columbia Records is owned by Sony and Sony Pictures Television owns "Love Monkey.") Synergy, Holla!
