Brad, you were very funny when you were on "Raymond". I've never seen you do a stand-up routine, but I'm sure you're funny there, too.

But please give your comedy shtick a rest while you're playing WWTBAM.

He's on WWTBAM because of his shtick. At least we know he's smarter than a 5th grader.

Brad's game show history is extended to 29.5 years, as he appeared as a celeb on Celebrity Hot POtato in SPring of 1984, shortly after he won the $100K for Best comedian on the first season of Star Search.

I think I figured out why there are only 4 celebs this week-the tapings must have taken longer than with regular folks because the celebs kept trying to be funny. Some of Brad's jokes weren't that funny.

I watched a long-ago outdoor program where a ranger plopped down and played dead when a grizzly was approaching her near a river in Alaska, and the bear plopped down next to her and went to sleep! It would have been adorable if it wasn't so dangerous. She slipped away while the bear was napping.

So far, so good.
