Leon

What was up with Fox interviewing "Leon" from the Budweiser commercials in the eighth inning of last night's series game?

Now, I know St. Louis doesn't have the celebrity factor that a New York or a Los Angeles/Anaheim...or even a Boston. It's fine that they want to show the celebrities, I guess. So long as it's not taking away from showing the game. Show Ben Affleck and Jennifer Garner during breaks in the action. Talk to Tom Hanks up on the green monster. Talk to Keith Tkachuk (that's not even how you spell his name, probably, but that's as close as I care to get) in St. Louis....

But they're so tuned in on the celebrity thing that they have to make up their own just to have something to do.

And he was in character.

So Fox wasn't even interviewing a celebrity. They were interviewing a fictional character.

I mean, if they're going to do that, why not interview a good fictional character, even one from your own TV shows? Interview Michael Bluth, from Arrested Development. Or Hank Hill, or Homer Simpson.

Not a guy who stars in beer commercials. I don't care if they are playing in the city of the King of Beers.
