Everyone’s Talking About Sanjaya Malakar

Craig Ferguson joked during his Late Late Show monologue on Wednesday night, “I can’t avoid it, so I’ll talk about ‘American Idol’. Everyone’s talking about Sanjaya. I will always take gimmicky hair over talent. That’s why I like Donald Trump. … I’ll tell you why I don’t like ‘American Idol’. It’s like being in a karaoke bar sober. … There is nothing new about ‘American Idol’. Fakery has been going on for years. The Monkeys started out as a fake band, and then they became a real band. That’s crazy. The only thing that would have been crazier would be if they became real monkeys!”
