This past week started with the death of Osama Bin Laden and ended with Rob Lowe chatting up Piers Morgan.
The deceased al Qaeda leader dominated the media cycle, but there were other stories as well.
We discovered a pushing-50 prolific actor who refuses to lose any of his good looks or charm and a venerable website that's doing better than ever.
On the losing side, we have a TV network that is in danger of losing some of its most loved talent, and a certain sometimes politician who still cannot pick a decent journalist.
Will Ferrell
Reprising his role as George W. Bush, Will Ferrell was hilarious in fictitiously announcing the killing of a terrorist gopher from a nearby Sizzler's Steakhouse.
Many tried tried to make light of the chilling Osama Bin Laden death story, but Ferrell's video was truly exceptional.
John Stewart on Osama
John Stewart's take on the Osama bin Laden death photos situation was poignant and accurate. The Daily Show exceeded its normal excellent standard with the smart, sophisticated, intelligent take.
