On The Mikey Show, Mikey, Woods, Lauren O'Brien, Sienna, and Jay mixed celebrity and political news with pointed call-in comedy: they speculated about Barack Obama's wrong date, mocked Oprah Winfrey's farewell, and wondered whether Arnold Schwarzenegger's son knew his parentage. They argued about responsibility and loyalty in Brian Stowe's lawsuit against the Dodgers, a parent's friendship with a daughter's ex, and whether a blunt Glee PSA could discourage slurs. News discussions covered possible charges against John Edwards, Casey Anthony's new drowning defense, and Mark Zuckerberg's interest in bringing younger children onto Facebook. The biggest comic set pieces were Woods's absurd pet-store Incorporator call, Monica exposing Mikey and Woods at McDonald's while they were supposedly dieting, and Jay's too-soon Randy Savage funeral jokes.

What happened, in order

  1. Obama's 2008 Signature

    The hosts debated whether Barack Obama's incorrect 2008 date in Westminster Abbey's guest book was a simple mistake, a Freudian slip, or a reference to Hillary Clinton's campaign troubles on that date.

  2. Brian Stowe Lawsuit

    The panel argued over whether the Dodgers bore responsibility for the attack on Brian Stowe because of allegedly reduced security or whether the lawsuit merely targeted the deepest pockets.

  3. Kids on Facebook

    Mark Zuckerberg's interest in letting children under 13 use Facebook prompted skepticism about privacy laws, parental objections, and the millions of underage children already using the site.

  4. Arnold's Son May Not Know

    After hearing Rogelio Ballena say the boy might not know Arnold Schwarzenegger is his biological father, the hosts wondered how such a widely reported secret could still be hidden from him.

  5. Oprah's Farewell Spectacle

    The crew mocked Oprah Winfrey's elaborate farewell shows, Rosie O'Donnell's musical number, Stedman Graham's tribute, and the revelation that Oprah herself was the final guest.

  6. Macho Man Funeral Jokes

    Jay presented a deliberately too-soon list of wrestling-themed jokes about Randy Savage's funeral while the rest of the room alternated between laughing and objecting.

  7. John Edwards Charges

    A breaking report said prosecutors were preparing campaign-finance charges against John Edwards over donor money allegedly used to hide his affair with Rielle Hunter.

  8. The Pet-Store Incorporator

    Woods called a pet store as an odd customer and successfully forced listener-supplied words such as tango, cannonball, eucalyptus, busty, and pioneer into the conversation.

  9. Friends With a Daughter's Ex

    The hosts split over whether a parent who stays friends with a daughter's ex is betraying family loyalty, with Woods defending the independent friendship and Lauren O'Brien prioritizing the daughter's feelings.

  10. Caught at McDonald's

    Caller Monica exposed Mikey and Woods at a McDonald's drive-through, leading them to invent excuses before admitting the fast-food run had undercut their workout talk.

  11. Does a Blunt PSA Work?

    A confrontational Glee PSA triggered a serious argument about slurs, whether shock changes ignorant behavior, and how television can start corrective conversations between children and parents.

  12. Casey Anthony Defense Twist

    Sienna explained that Casey Anthony's defense claimed her daughter drowned accidentally and that Casey concealed it because alleged childhood abuse had taught her to hide pain, allegations her father denied.
