Now that I have your attention, be prepared to facepalm hard, followed by indignant commenting. :)

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.

"...but things live on it, that means it's a planet"

That hurt my head. I need a drink.

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.

Once this clip gets the attention of NBC, it will be a skit on SNL.

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. :lol:
