We didn't get one scrap of personal information about Bruce from Cedric's bantering segments, but Bruce did mention during the SNL question that he works as a publicist. From his bio on his company's web site, he's got enough connections to the entertainment industry to qualify as a full WE/WE.

I don't know if it was just his nerves, but Bruce couldn't stop shifting from side to side. The Hot Seat might have helped hold him still.

So did the Merida makeover get reversed or not? This article from May seems uncertain.

Another one I get because of the Bored. Pretty sure we had a lengthy discussion about this here, including photos.

I'll go look it up after I post this.

No lengthy discussion. Musta been local. Or Facebook. Which is evil, I hasten to add.

And he was doing so well, too. I guess he didn't stop and think - what would have been controversial about a bigger bow?
