Alex: Ooh, sorry, we were going for satellite. The Moon is a natural satellite.
Contestant: "Natural satellite"? Ha! No, Alex, I don't like that at all. I don't even know what that means.

I saw this clip yesterday but wasn't sure who it was. At the time I was facepalming. Knowing it's Mizrahi really makes me disappointed.

This is one of many reasons why I don't think celebrities are all that credible as spokespeople on issues/causes/candidates outside their own field.

M-O-O-N. That spells Mizrahi.
The best thing that Neil Armstrong ever did, was to let us all imagine we were him.

Once this clip gets the attention of NBC, it will be a skit on SNL.
P.S. Don't forget that the moon (whatever it is, ) is made of green cheese

Rachel Maddow proclaimed this clip the best thing in the world last night... I think NBC is aware of it.

It was also the "Moment of Zen" on The Daily Show with Jon Stewart last night.

I dunno…sounds to me like Mizrahi's more than qualified to chair a Senate subcommittee overseeing NASA. I hear the bar's pretty low, though.

The current chairman has a law degree from Harvard, for what that's worth. Mizrahi is a community college type.
