I agree, The Strypes album was in my Top 5 for new groups in 2014.

He had pennybirdrabbit on when he guest-hosted the first non-craigyferg week of the Late Late Show. Nice song, and Drew seemed genuinely excited at how well everything went. As came out in the interview after, she was a waitress at a diner he went to, and she told him she was a singer, and he eventually got hooked on her stuff and pushed to have her on the show.

Performance and interview:

Joe Walsh was a semi-regular on his sitcom.

I knew because he's a soccer nut (and only in the last 10 years became one) and part-owner of the Seattle Sounders in MLS who play in front of 38,000-60-000 every game.

He also mingles with the fans and attends all games.

And the Reverend Horton Heat beat Drew's band in their high school battle of the bands (on the show). If you haven't seen the show where Drew's training tape got altered, it is a classic.

It's also because of Drew that I can never hear "You Ain't Seen Nothin' Yet" the same way ever again.

I wish they'd put more than the first season of that show on DVD.

Then there was this, which should increase his IMWAN cred:

The first five or so seasons were great TV, but boy did it fall off the rails towards the end.

I still think this was one of the best show-opening sequences ever, using "5 O'Clock World" by the Vogues:

Fell off the rails? That doesn't begin to cover what happened to that show - more like picked up the rails, took them to the top of a tall building, jumped off, then pushed the rails away.

Although I did like when Craig Ferguson parodied the end of Newhart at the end of The Late Late Show by waking up in bed as Mr. Wick next to Drew.

Yeah.

It was a combination dumpster / tire fire.

Yes.

I always liked the cartoon "Moon Over Parma" opening, but it's hard to complain when Katy Selverstone is involved!
