- And the award for the ugliest animal goes to… the blobfish? There are some ugly animals out there, but this gelatinous bugger really takes the cake. And now it’s the official mascot of the Ugly Animal Preservation Society.
- Wish I had time to sit around watching parodies by Jimmy Fallon. But you might. And you should. Fallon’s “Joking Bad” (a play on the AMC series “Breaking Bad”) is really a gas, yo. Actor Bryan Cranston makes a cameo. Watch the video here.

- NBC’s “Today” is the number-two morning show. What’s it doing to crawl back on top? Bringing in Carson Daly to host a regular segment called the Orange Room — called a “first-of-its-kind digital studio.”
