OH MY DEAR GOD

words cannot express this horrid display of "talent". I actually sort of like their show "Newlyweds", they are just annoying enough to be cute. But this variety hour is truly pathetic. I hate to say it, but Jessica Simpson just does not have that good of a voice. And with the very few scenes that Nick was in, (it should have just been the Jessica hour) he ended up looking stupid. For instance, a duet with Kit, the car from Knight Rider?? What is that??

Jessica's Simpson ridiculous dramatic bodily gyrations while singing with Jewel may have been the only funny thing about this variety hour. Please spare yourself the agony of watching, unless you want to laugh AT them, and not with them.
