David Cook's American Idol victory split Mikey, Eddie, Sky, Ashley, and callers over singing ability, marketability, and whether his emotion was authentic. The show mixed a serious civil-rights argument about county clerks refusing same-sex weddings with signature comedy bits including Ashley's Tone-Deaf Karaoke, Eddie's cruel advice to a balding bachelor, Sean's bizarre wedding memories, and Sean TV's discovery of C-Dub. Ashley defended her belief that she fell in love with Mark at first sight, while Eddie and Mikey said she was describing chemistry and attraction rather than love. The hosts also covered a fugitive's crash at Jack in the Box, Lou Pearlman's $300 million fraud sentence, and the accidental death of Stephen Curtis Chapman's young daughter.

What happened, in order

  1. David Cook's contested Idol win

    David Cook beat David Archuleta by 12 million votes, prompting the hosts to argue over who sang better, who would sell more records, and whether Cook's tearful reaction was genuine.

  2. The chase into Jack in the Box

    A mistakenly released murder suspect led police on a freeway chase, abandoned his still-running car as it crashed outside a Jack in the Box, and was caught trying to flee on foot.

  3. Can clerks refuse gay weddings?

    Mikey, Eddie, Sky, and callers debated whether county employees with religious objections could refuse same-sex wedding ceremonies, with Eddie arguing that public servants must enforce the law or find another job.

  4. Sean's surreal wedding

    The crew reconstructed Sean's Moroccan-restaurant wedding as a surreal scene involving a preacher discussing Auschwitz, floor pillows, a blue domed cake, belly dancers, ceremonial garb, and a monkey in a fez.

  5. Tone-Deaf Karaoke

    Ashley mangled songs by Bow Wow Wow, Live, Billy Joel, and 'Til Tuesday while callers struggled to identify them for Iron Maiden tickets.

  6. Tough Love for a balding bachelor

    Eddie answered a worried 35-year-old losing his hair by mocking his romantic prospects and recommending an enormous purple handlebar mustache as a distraction.

  7. Love at first sight showdown

    Ashley insisted she loved Mark from their first awkward handshake-and-hug, while Eddie and Mikey argued that instant chemistry and attraction only become love after people know each other.

  8. Sean TV discovers C-Dub

    Sean enthusiastically recommended C.W. 'Butch' Welch's deeply monotone outdoor cooking show, leaving the others baffled by hornets, oily steaks, and the obscure RFD-TV network.

  9. Lou Pearlman and $300 million fantasies

    After Lou Pearlman's 25-year sentence for stealing $300 million, Boston Rob imagined buying into the Red Sox and funding inventions such as Cookie Stone and a TiVo for radio.

  10. Stephen Curtis Chapman's family tragedy

    Mikey described how Christian singer Stephen Curtis Chapman's five-year-old daughter died after her teenage brother accidentally struck her while backing a vehicle out of the family driveway.
