Pretty good birthday selection today with some interesting two-fers, including baseball player J.D. Drew and "The Soup's" Joel McHale. Also, if you haven't checked out Joel's new Show "Community" you should. Pretty solid comedy. Way better tha "The Office" and "30 Rock" up until this point in the season.
