Celebrity Fug Club

When I told Heather I was going to be fugging Ant, she responded, “Those words are English, but I don’t know what they mean.  Except the ‘fugging’ part.” The best way I could explain the phenomenon of Ant was to tell her that he started out on Last Comic Standing (as a really annoying contestant), somehow parlayed this into a gig on Celebrity Fit Club (as a much LESS annoying host), and now both does that and also apparently hosted Last Comic Standing 3, which, if I am not mistaken, only aired on the Internet and at like 4 am on basic cable in Uzbekistan. (To his immense credit, it seems, according to our friends at IMDb, that he also appeared in the TV version of Sweet Valley High, and in something deliciously titled It’s My Body and I’ll Cry If I Want To.) Anyway, short version: He’s now like the poor man’s Mario Cantone.

He, however, didn’t get the memo:

The memo HE got said he was the poor man’s JESUS.
