Yikes: on Saturday night, the Canadian version of “Cash Cab” finished up a night of shooting by hitting and killing a 61-year-old pedestrian.

The show had finished filming for the night and a producer was driving the mock yellow cab back to a storage area when the accident occurred, the show’s production company, Castlewood Productions Inc., told The Vancouver Sun.

“Our thoughts and prayers are with the victim and his friends and his family. My heart also goes out to the driver of the vehicle, a member of our technical staff, who is shaken and devastated by this tragic accident, as is our entire team,” the company’s president, Andrew Burnstein, told The Sun.

No charges have been filed, but if that producer drinks on the job half as much as I do, she’s in serious trouble. And yeah, I’m assuming the producer was a woman. Whether or not that’s true, I stand by the logic that helped me jump to that conclusion. JOURNALISM!

I have now watched this video eight times in a row, and I’ve laughed each time. As you can tell by the scores, Neil is perhaps not the strongest contestant on Kids Week of “Jeopardy!” And when he tries to get himself out of the hole, he awkwardly stumbles through his response the way most of us stumbled through puberty. This 16-second clip is a microcosm of my life from age 12 to 18.

Hang in there, Neil. I’ll send you a DVD of Tombstone for your birthday.

A couple different readers have emailed this “Jeopardy” clip to me now. In this Video Daily Double, the category is “Begins With Body Part,” meaning that every correct response in the category will be something like LEGacy or ARMistice. But Carl doesn’t know that this animal

is a chinchilla, so he guesses “titmouse.” What an idiot! A titmouse is a bird! I mean, if you want to make a lewd guess, at least go big with something like, “What is the African snatch rat?”

As if you couldn’t have guessed by the presence of Jerry Springer, “Baggage” is one of the stranger and more disturbing game shows on TV (I previously wrote about it here). But last night’s episode of the GSN dating game added an element of TLC’s “Strange Addictions”: it featured women whose “baggage” was eating disgusting things: whole sticks of butter, glue, and dirt.

It’s all very gross, but frankly I think this is actually helpful information when deciding if you want to date a woman. Personally, I’d go for the lady who eats glue. For the most obvious reason possible. What I’m trying to say is, she probably swallows ejaculate.

Here’s a (safe-for-work) trailer for yet another one of Hustler’s porn parodies: “Jeopardy,” I’m sorry to inform you. I would say that fake-Trebek’s mustache makes this one the creepiest porn parody yet, but that simply wouldn’t be true. Nothing will ever be creepier than the “Simpsons” porn parody. Trust me, the Oprah porn parody tried.

Besides, this could EASILY be creepier: Hustler totally missed out on including Watson in this. And what a shame, too. It’s so hard to find decent robot porn that isn’t Japanese.
