Jim Lehrer of PBS could not be any funnier

To help promote its upcoming miniseries Make 'Em Laugh: The Funny Business of America, PBS and Baltimore-based MGH have created this surreal spot featuring the deadpan delivery of Jim Lehrer. Not to tell them how to do their jobs, but the PBS marketing folks really missed a viral goldmine here. Just think how many hits they'd get if they had Lehrer act out great moments in obscene broadcast hilarity, such as "Bill O'Reilly flips out" and "Chris Berman is finger-waving mad."
