Carson Daly. Nothing else explains it.
Nancy Grace didn’t sell her soul but agreed to be surrogate for his twins. (Diablo used donor eggs as he didn’t want his spawn to have her looks or limited brainpower.)
Ryan Seacrest- seems to have negotiated the most lucrative deal.
I’m not a fan, but Andie MacDowell would have a swarm of guys hitting on her at any bar in America outside of LA.
I assume that this is because his talent in the glory days (1963-1980 or so) was unearthly.
Yes it was.
McFarlane signed the deal for American Dad well before Family Guy proved to be a hit on Adult Swim.
The Devil and Danielle Mouse, awesomely reworked by Bauhaus back in '82. “I’ve been waiting, now it’s my turn.”
Second the choice of Phil Collins. One of the best drummers out there, and now he can’t even play drums anymore.
My selection (and I imagine there will be some disagreement) is Adam Sandler. I have no other explanation for how someone could go so far in comedy while being so unfunny.
David Spade. The only thing I’ve ever been glad to hear David Spade was in was that losing fight against his personal assistant.
I’m with you on the first two but there’s a hell of a lot more to what Seacrest does than it appears. Being a ‘host’ is actually pretty difficult, and the guy’s a workaholic. He’s good fodder for a joke but the jokes are usually about how he’s everywhere. I don’t think anyone can legitimately claim he’s not good at what he does.
It’s because he’s deaf.
I’ve long held the belief that James Cameron has inked some kind of deal with the Unholy One. It’s not that I think he isn’t a talented director. I simply cannot fathom how Avatar and Titanic, both directed by Cameron, are the two highest grossing movies of all time.
How about Rob Schneider?
Half-entertainer/half-writer but Tony Kornheiser.
The guy isn’t funny on TV or radio, he doesn’t know much about sports, and his writing reads like what Dave Barry threw away.
But he’s everywhere in sports media and had a freaking sitcom about himself.
Stephen Tyler judging American Idol.
Halle Berry for her Oscar winning role in Monster’s Ball.
Family Guy became a hit on Adult Swim in 2003. When did Fox strike up a deal for American Dad?
No, you got it all wrong. He signed a deal with Fox. One is an evil, soul-destroying monster who is responsible for everything unholy in the world, and the other is just some fallen angel.
The devil let him out of the contract. Turns out not even Satan could get him steady work. (He has several upcoming credits actually, but mostly voice work.)
I’ve written three letters to the Washington Post (pre-internet days). Two they printed. The other one was the longest, and in many respects the best-written. It was about everything wrong with Tony Kornheiser (he was their primary sports columnist at the time). I didn’t expect them to print it, but I felt I had to say something. He really was awful.
Fun factoid, for which I cannot reveal my source but I swear on my soul is true: Tony’s nickname at the paper, at least in certain circles, was “Kornholer.”
Obviously, the Rolling Stones. They even brag about it.
Fun fact: Keith Richards, like Brian Jones, also died when he was 27. It’s just taking him a longer time to realize it.
According to Wikipedia, it’s because of dislocated vertebrae in his neck. I was just pointing out one of the costs of Phil’s deal with the devil: losing the ability to do what he did best.
