The Parody is Better Than the Show

The classic example is the Milton Berle song parody "Sam You Made the Pants Too Long" exceeding the popularity of "Lord You Made the Night Too Long." A modern one is the Nikki Heat series by Richard Castle. I stopped watching CASTLE after trying to get into it last season. However, the books are a great read, still unknown who is penning them. Publishing is a rare media where you can easily keep a secret.

Internet Scoop, or Just a Guess

Was that John Barrowman (ARROW, DOCTOR WHO) dubbing Jimmy Fallon in Jimmy's duet with Jay Leno last night? Jimmy can sing but this bit had Broadway quality. Find Barrowman's singing in the movie THE PRODUCERS doing "Springtime for Hitler" and you'll hear the similarity. Plus, he had a show in the UK with a similar theme to the Jay-Jimmy duet. Just saying. This may be the first post on the Interwebs to notice this, or just a bad guess.
