Reese Witherspoon knows. So does Steve Carell. It's an open secret that being funny on film will not bring you Oscar gold. If it did, Steve would have been billed as Academy Award Nominee Steve Carell for the last 10 years. His performance in The 40 Year-Old Virgin was a revelation. The guy you saw on The Daily Show every so often suddenly turned in this nuanced performance that was both hilarious and sweet. The entire movie hinged on the believability of his character Andy, and Carell very subtly had us in the palm of his hand the entire time. If Andy was dyslexic or had a harelip instead of being a virgin, Carell would have been making the rounds on the awards circuit in 2005, the way he is this year for Foxcatcher.

They were soon joined by Burt Reynolds/Turd Ferguson (Norm McDonald), Christoph Waltz (Taran Killam), Matthew McConaughey (Jim Carrey) with a special video question by Bill Cosby (Kenan Thompson).

He's hosted a narrowcast -- a podcast on a narrow topic-- called, simply enough "Carson."
