Phil Collins made television awesome for 60 minutes......well, kinda....

Question: What do John Candy, Ice-T, Dr. Dre, Henry Mancini, Barbara Mandrell, Paul Shaffer, John Travolta, The Ultimate Warrior, Vanessa Williams, Gilbert Gottfried, Don Johnson, Bruce Willis, “Weird Al” Yankovic, and Jefferey Tambor, have in common?

Answer: They all agreed to be a part of this circus cheese called “Seriously...Phil Collins” that aired in 1989 to promote his…But Seriously album tour because they love and adore Phil Collins so much and didn’t want him to look like the only ass clown in the program. 

Observe....





(Please note Part 4 is currently trapped inside Adele's butthole. Apologies for the inconvenience.)

Do you know any one that would do this for you? 

I didn't think so. 

Like I said, this is total butt cheese television; however, what makes it totally awesome is that there is not a trace of egotism to be found. Collins just bumbles along through this much in the same way I imagine my dad or my 5th grade teacher would do. In all my years of being a fan, I have never seen him give off an air of self-centeredness or entitlement, and this cornballsack TV show shines an even brighter light on his unconditional humility.   

However, let me be clear in saying that Phil Collins should never do a TV special ever again, although if he did it would be a bazillion times more awesome than anything on right now.

Phil Collins: a humble soul who doesn't take himself seriously and is a better actor than John Travolta. 

It's all a little bit mostly true sometimes but not really.
