I could barely watch this. I'm far too empathetic not to be squirming out of my chair and groaning at the computer screen. I remember when Howard Stern's Channel 9 show was being broadcast on cable TV here in the Boston area. Stern was not yet on the radio here, and we had barely been exposed to Stuttering John's guerilla interviewing exploits. When I saw him for the first time (and the second, and third) I just couldn't watch. I was too embarrassed on everyone's behalf.

So you can imagine how I feel watching this video of Ashlee Simpson's lip-synching problems on Saturday Night Live. Wait until you hear her blame the band at the end.
