1. TV time
Both candidates scrambled Friday in the final run-up to Election Day. John McCain visited Ohio, while Barack Obama’s campaign plotted a way to buy him a role on “General Hospital” to talk health care.
2. Selling points
Obama made a bold move this week by airing an infomercial. Opinions were mixed on the result, but all voters hoping to hear the phrase “set it and forget it” were sorely disappointed.
3. Those were the days
Meanwhile, rumor has it McCain will pop up on “Saturday Night Live.” He is, of course, old enough to remember the show’s precursor, “Saturday Night Pre-Recorded Radio.”
4. Make or break
But the stakes are incredibly high right now. In a few days, Sarah Palin either will be on her way to the White House or picking out which float she’ll ride in the Wasilla Thanksgiving Day parade.
5. Sweet
In an sudden format shake-up, NBC debuts “Today Show: Candyland.”
6. Magical mystery tour
A new Beatles video game is in the works. It’s supposed to be “an experimental journey” through the Fab Four’s music, and hopefully not through the drugs they were doing at the time.
7. Just sayin’
A recent study says men are more attracted to women in red. Really, though, men might just be attracted to Wendy’s.
8. Who’s ready to party?
If you’re still thinking up a scary Halloween costume, remember to consider Seth Rogen’s topless torso.
9. The write stuff
A Pulitzer Prize-winning playwright reportedly is in talks to write the next “Spider-Man” movie. Meanwhile, “Rock of Love Charm School” just found somebody in an alley.
