A 1950s View Of American Idol

Brett_Erlich
Our crack stage crew bought an old black-and-white TV at a garage sale to decorate infoMania's new set. Imagine our surprise when the decades-old set sputtered to life to reveal Mr. TV, a visitor from the medium's Golden Age. (Full disclosure: Mr. TV bears a strong resemblance to infoMania's own Sergio Cilli.) This week Brett and Mr. TV talk "American Idol," which Mr. TV first believes is an ode to teen icon Troy Donahue. (Ask your grandparents.) Mr. TV does cotton to new judges Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler, though the Aerosmith lead singer doesn't look like any of the fellas he knows down at the lodge.

infoMania is a half-hour comedy show that airs weekly on Current TV. Picture the ultimate office water-cooler, only with funnier co-workers who willingly stay up late imbibing all forms of media so you don't have to. Caveat: Bring your own water. Hosted by Brett Erlich and co-starring Sergio Cilli, Erin Gibson, Ben Hoffman and Bryan Safi, infoMania airs on Thursdays at 11/10c on Current TV.
