9. Steve, however, did take a shot at SNL first. It didn't go well. Not only did his girlfriend Walls make the show, Steve was one of the last people cut...and saw his roster spot taken by a guy named Will Ferrell.

8. But "The Dana Carvey Show" would turn out to be a good consolation prize, since it put Steve in a writer's room that contained Stephen Colbert, Louis CK, Robert Smigel, Bob Odenkirk, and "Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind" screenwriter Charlie Kaufman  (yes, ALL AT THE SAME TIME). Steve's friendship with Colbert would lead directly to his breakout "Daily Show" gig, when Colbert recommended Carell to the producers.

7. One of Steve's earliest onscreen appearances was playing a supremely dedicated hockey goalie who had to come up with inventive ways to practice alone. (see video below)   It turns out, Steve actually did play ice hockey - and played goal -  in high school in Concord, Massachusetts and continues to play in a men's league in Burbank, California. He claims "what I lack in physical ability I make up for in poor coordination."

6. While studying pre-law at Dennison college, Steve became a member of the country's oldest collegiate improv troupe, called Burpee's Seedy Theatrical Company. It has existed since 1979, but Carell is its most famous alumnus.

5. Although "The Office" proved to be a monster success for Carell, he was far from the top of producer Ricky Gervais' dream cast list. Paul Giamatti, Hank Azaria, Bob Odenkirk, and Martin Short were all considered ahead of him - but the show was predicted to be a disaster, and may have scared some other actors off (in fact, many of Carell's friends discouraged him from auditioning).

4. Steve and Nancy have been married for 18 years, and actually own a general store in Marshfield, Massachusetts. Residents claim that Carell will occasionally stop in and help stock shelves.

3. In the film "Seeking a Friend for the End of the World," Carell and Walls had to film their characters' break-up scene on the exact day of their 17th wedding anniversary.

2. Yes, Steve voices one half of The Ambiguously Gay Duo alongside Stephen Colbert. The animated shorts were created by fellow "Dana Carvey Show" alum Smigel.

Pioneer LaserActive, 1993

We kind of take for granted the ability of DVDs and Blu-Ray discs to hold massive amounts of information, but it wasn't always that way. Back in the day, the optical medium of choice was the laserdisc, a foot-wide platter that was expensive as hell. Pioneer was one of the companies most invested in the format, which is the only explanation for them deciding to put out a laserdisc-based game system in 1993. The $970 Pioneer LaserActive played a handful of games, mostly video-based adventures. You could also shell out even more money to allow the unit to play Sega Genesis and NEC TurboGrafx-16 games, but that brought the machine to a price of more than $1,000.

Nokia N-Gage, 2003

When cell phone gaming started looking like a viable market, Finnish phone manufacturer Nokia decided to create a system that was just for games. The end result was the N-Gage, one of the most ridiculous pieces of hardware ever made. Designed to compete with Nintendo's Game Boy Advance, the N-Gage failed as both a gaming system and a phone. The buttons were horribly placed and to talk into it you needed to hold it sideways. In its launch week, it was outsold by the Game Boy Advance 100 to 1. Nokia took a huge bath on the system, producing two million units and selling a tiny fraction of them.

Mattel Hyperscan, 2006

Toy companies have long looked at video games as just another market to take over, not realizing that the creation of a console is a specialized and difficult task. Mattel tried to get in on the act in 2006 with the Hyperscan, a nutty system that used CD-ROMs for games but let you scan trading cards to change the play experience. The system was made of incredibly cheap materials (it only retailed for $70) and the games were equally shoddy. It was intended for kids who weren't yet old enough for real video game systems. Only five games were released before Mattel took the thing off the market in 2006.

Gizmondo, 2005

Nintendo is the undisputed master of the portable video game domain, selling millions and millions of Game Boys and other devices. They make it look easy, which is the only way we can explain Tiger Telematics, a Swedish carpet company, thinking they could do the same. Their console was the Gizmondo, a doomed portable that was on sale for less than a year. Prone to overheating and retailing for $400, the machine sold less than 30,000 units despite a hardcore marketing blitz. Tiger Telematics lost almost $300 million producing the device and went out of business in 2006.

Apple Bandai Pippin, 1995

Looking at the Apple of today, which can do no wrong in the hardware market, it's easy to forget that they had some tough times in the 1990s. One of their lowest points was an attempt to crack the video game console market with the Pippin. In collaboration with Japanese game company Bandai, they created a white box based on the Mac OS to compete with the recently released Sony PlayStation. Unfortunately for Apple, not only was the Pippin woefully underpowered, it was also insanely expensive, hitting retail at $600. And with only 18 games available (including can't-miss titles like "Mr. Potato Head Saves Veggie Valley" and "Playskool Puzzles") gamers stayed away in droves. Only 42,000 consoles were sold out of more than 100,000 manufactured.

Philips CD-i, 1991

You need to hand it to Philips - they knew early on that disc storage was the future of video gaming. Unfortunately, they didn't have the chops to capture the market. In 1991, the first CD-i consoles hit the market at a staggering $700 retail price. The system was remarkably robust, able to play all kinds of software, but the quality of the titles was uniformly horrible. The system is best remembered today for featuring titles starring Nintendo characters like Link from "The Legend of Zelda" that were made by other developers and were hilariously bad. Sales were turgid, especially after the PlayStation and Nintendo 64 were introduced in 1995, and Philips cut bait on the CD-i in 1998.

Sega 32X, 1994

Sega was pretty much always in second place during the video game wars of the '80s and '90s, but that wasn't such a bad place to be. Unfortunately, a series of bad decisions led to their gradual decline. The first was probably the introduction of the Sega 32X, an add-on to the Sega Genesis that allowed the system to play CD-ROM games. In theory, it was pretty cool, boosting the system's processing power and allowing it to play 32-bit games. In practice, though, it flopped hard because Sega was also releasing a full-bore stand-alone CD-ROM system, the Saturn, just six months later. When a company competes with itself, it's bound to lose, and the 32X fell off the market quickly.

Phantom, 2004

The only thing worse than a video game console that fails on the open market is one that fails before it even gets to the market. Enter the Phantom. Developers at Infinium Labs first started hyping up their revolutionary console in 2003, claiming that it would offer games on demand through a subscription service, eliminating manufacturing costs and bringing a vast library of PC games to home gamers. The release date of the system got bumped multiple times until the console was canceled in 2006. Infinium lost almost $100 million of investor money on the project.

Martha Hunt was born in 1989 and lived in a small tobacco town, Wilson, North Carolina.

Martha got into modeling after winning a model search contest in North Carolina while still in high school.

She stays in shape by doing lots of yoga, swimming and cycling.

See Martha Hunt's profile page on Mandatory.

If Martha wasn't a model, she would love to be a movie director. "I think film is the best medium to inspire people."

She has said her most embarrassing moment modeling was "shooting in a bikini in a predominantly Muslim country - awkward!"

The best advice she's been given was "stop caring about what everybody thinks."

Martha Hunt is fascinated by the CIA and the possibility of life on other planets.

The best quality she likes in a friend is a witty sense of humor.

OBSCENE LANGUAGE

Curses-sometimes even the tamer PG-13 curses heard on taped dramas and comedies-often provoke a barrage of letters from puritanical shut-ins who are enraged to hear (gasp) dirty words on the TV box, but more often than not even the most apparently deliberate use of foul language (even Fox WNYW anchor Ernie Anastos' infamous recommendation to "keep f-kin' that chicken") can be explained away as slips of the tongue or quirks of the recording equipment. When there's no logical explanation for dropping an f-bomb, however, things can get pricey: a post-game interview with an exhausted and angry Shaquille O'Neal where he asked that referees "don't try to take over the f-kin' game" (to which the reporter said "Shaq, we're on live..." prompting the Diesel to reply "I don't give a s-t") cost the athlete/rapper/genie/Shaq-Fu nearly $300,000 and a one-game suspension. More destructive and more widely known was the f-bomb that nearly killed "Saturday Night Live" at the end of its already disastrously unfunny sixth season. After a tiresome sketch referencing the "Who Shot JR" plotline of "Dallas," unpleasantly smug leading man Charles Rocket loudly stated that he would like to know who the F-K just shot him. SNL was gone for a month, during which time almost the entire acting and writing staff was fired.

NUDITY (ACCIDENTAL)

Oh, those pesky boobs! Ever since Justin Timberlake "accidentally" ripped open Janet Jackson's shirt at Super Bowl XXXVIII, the term "wardrobe malfunction" has been used to describe the consequences of risqué fashion, lack of bras, and failure to use breast-securing tape. While such malfunctions are fairly common (they were more often known as "nip slips" in the press), what happened to contestant Yolanda Bowersley on semi-live game show "The Price Is Right" in 1977 could more accurately be described as a catastrophic tube-top failure. As she sprinted down the stairs to meet Bob Barker, her top worked its way down to mid-chest-level without her realizing. Frantic studio assistants soon notified her of the malfunction, which she quickly rectified.

NUDITY (DELIBERATE)

I think if we're all honest with ourselves we can admit that nobody actually enjoys watching an awards show. Lame jokes? Boring sketches? Some horrible faux-broadway musical number only the host could conceivably enjoy? Much better to have the routine broken up by the occasional naked or nearly-naked person sprinting around evading security guards, like during the 1974 46th Academy Awards when photographer Robert Opel streaked behind actor David Niven at the podium brandishing a peace sign and leading Niven (a former British Commando and not a man who was easily rattled) to quip, "Isn't it fascinating to think that probably the only laugh that man will ever get in his life is by stripping off and showing his shortcomings?" In later years, evidence came to light to show that the stunt may have been at least partially facilitated by the show's producers, and Niven given advance warning that something odd might happen, but that didn't stop the incident from being voted one of the Oscars' most memorable spectacles in 2001.

ACCIDENTAL DEATHS

Death on live camera is never planned (although we'll soon see that the nature of live news coverage often makes it hard to avoid) but sometimes accidents happen-and not just the sort of accident you see on the news when a suspect's car somersaults flaming into a ditch and you're left with the icky feeling that you've just seen somebody die at that very moment. Sudden, unexpected death is no stranger to live performances, from musicians being electrocuted by their instruments to the fatal fall of Owen Hart during a pay-per-view wrestling event that was almost caught on live cameras. In a way, it's sheer luck that the only clear-cut case of death on camera during a live entertainment was that of renowned British comedian Tommy Cooper during a performance of "Live From Your Majesty's," where shortly after the farcical comic donned his magician's robes, he collapsed to the floor. Unfortunately, Cooper's big gimmick was of a magician whose tricks and props always went wrong, so the audience (and even his assistant) initially assumed this was part of a joke. When it became clear to the producer that this was definitely not a joke, he called an emergency commercial break to haul the comedian backstage and attempt to revive him. Bizarrely, the show went on after the break, and while the legend that you could see Cooper's shoes sticking out from under the curtain during the next act is plainly false, it is true that efforts to resuscitate him were hindered by working in the darkness behind the curtain as for some reason the house lights could not be turned up. EMTs removed his body during the second commercial break, and the comedian was pronounced DOA at Westminster Hospital.

SUICIDES

After the infamous suicide of Pennsylvania treasurer R. Budd Dwyer (an event that spawned books, documentaries, and the 1995 Filter song "Hey Man, Nice Shot") you would think that camera crews and producers would be set to instantly cut the feed the moment a stressed-out desperate person pulls out a gun. Sadly, the hopes that this situation will turn into an exciting and Nielsen-friendly gun battle typically overrules the likelihood that a human being will blow his or her brains out in front of everyone watching. On April 30, 1998, HIV and cancer sufferer Daniel V. Jones lead the LAPD on a high-speed chase covered by live helicopter TV feeds that lasted until 3:30 pm, pre-empting many stations' after-school children's cartoons. That meant that kids and parents alike were able to watch Jones set fire to his truck and dog, spread out a banner protesting HMOs' treatments of patients like him, and kill himself with a shotgun. While the outcry was great, it didn't prevent the same thing from happening in 2012 on FOX News "Studio B with Shepard Smith," where fugitive carjacker Jordon F. Romero shot himself in the head before either the cable network or the local affiliate could cut the feed.

ASSASSINATIONS (ATTEMPTED AND OTHERWISE)

You may be familiar with the recent attempted assassination of Bulgarian politician Ahmed Dogan-during a party congress, a man ran up to Dogan and pointed a pistol point-blank at his head, only to misfire before a mob of attendants and bodyguards piled on to kick the crap out of the would-be killer. Many have suggested that the assassination was actually staged-supposedly the gas-driven pistol that the attacker carried would have only been able to wound Dogan-but the same can't be said for the very first recorded assassination, the fatal stabbing of Japanese politician Inejiro Asanuma in October 1960. Asanuma, a popular but controversial far-left leader of the Japan Socialist Party, was preparing to enter into a debate at Tokyo's Hibiya Hall when 17-year-old extremist Otoya Yamaguchi charged the stage with a wakizashi, running the samurai sword through Asanuma's abdomen and almost immediately killing him. Millions of Japanese citizens were watching at the time, and despite mass demonstrations for peace and order memorializing the slain politician, the Japan Socialist Party soon effectively disintegrated.

STANDOFFS AND SHOOTOUTS

Producers all know that when the SWAT teams come out the news crews better be set up beforehand, because everyone wants to see a good guns-blazin' shootout or even a tense (albeit less exciting) siege. At times this pays off enormously, such as the infamous North Hollywood Shootout of February 1997 where two men with illegally modified full-auto rifles held off most of the LAPD and SWAT for almost an hour. Other times things go wrong-badly wrong in the case of siege of Waco, where FBI and ATF forces either deliberately set fire to the compound of David Koresh's Branch Davidian cult or botched a tear-gas attack enough to achieve the same result. The end result was 76 cult members dead, including children and unarmed civilians. The graphic footage of the inferno, combined with similar coverage of the tragic Ruby Ridge standoff, is said to have inspired Timothy McVeigh's lethal Oklahoma City bombing.

ACCIDENTS AND EXPLOSIONS

In most cases of traumatic or explosive accidents, the only footage we get are from security cams or hastily-aimed cellphones. Only in a few instances have disasters been caught on professional film. Most shocking would have to be the breakup and explosion of the Space Shuttle Challenger, particularly since the well-publicized inclusion of schoolteacher Christa McAuliffe meant that the live broadcast was shown in schools across the country as well as regular news stations. On the other end of the tragedy spectrum would be the strangely postmodern coverage of JetBlue Flight 292, a minor aircraft landing accident that the airplane's passengers were actually able to watch live on their seat-back TV screens due to JetBlue's DirecTV satellite feed. Shortly after taking off, the crew of the Airbus A320 detected that their nose gear had failed to retract correctly; reports from the ground indicated that it was stuck down but twisted 90 degrees the wrong way. The pilots were able to bring the plane down for a safe albeit sparky landing, although the TV feed to the passengers was cut off earlier to prevent panic and to make the situation less absurdly meta.

KCRW: Morning Becomes Eclectic

For musings on music, creativity and innovative thinking, KCRW's famed podcast is your one-stop inspirational start to the morning. If this podcast cannot convince you to make the day unique, create something lasting or at least change the freaking songs on your Walkman once in awhile, perhaps it's time you left the car running in the garage.

KCRW welcomes the music of established bands in stripped down format (referring to the music, not the clothes...well maybe both) and new bands to the scene. Either way, you walk away early in the day with something new in your head to think about as you pass angry people who listened to hate music on the way to work.

The Joe Rogan Experience

Quite possibly the highest guy on the podcast airwaves, Joe Rogan will blow his own mind and you can follow along with him. His unpredictable guest lineup, anywhere from actors to MMA fighters, keeps the show about as fresh as his weed stash.

For all the interesting, cracked out theories on humanity and evolution, failed attempts at love and the ever-popular war on weed, tune into Joe and have a laugh. If that isn't enough, watch his stand-up as he freaks out for 60 minutes straight about the meaning of life and the Egyptian pyramids.

NPR: TED Radio

For all the TED Talkers and ambitious forward thinkers of tomorrow, NPR puts on a quality and consistent podcast based around themes of invention, change and creativity. No stranger to superior programming, NPR is bringing the creative process and questions plaguing the mind to the surface in an hour-long radio segment hosted by Guy Raz.

For the kids in the front row who want to learn something new and make things better, tune into this diamond in the podcast rough. For the slackers sleeping in the back, let Adam Carolla's astonishingly annoying voice wake you up for life.

Bill Burr Monday Morning

Bill Burr can only do his podcast once a week because it's just too good to have around everyday. While many podcasts are daily, making it more difficult to have consistently high quality, Bill goes all quality for the first day of the week.

Bill's strengths lie in observing human behavior, trashing it and making promising points on how we can do better. If you like his stand-up, you'll dig this, as he has a tendency to hit everything on the head and perhaps make you cry from laughter.

ESPN: Pardon the Interruption (PTI)

What could be better than listening to a stocky, bald black guy endlessly bitch with an old, bearded, bald white guy about sports? The answer is "nothing." For all of sport's controversial or poignant moments and player screw ups, there will always be two guys on opposite ends of the spectrum voicing their opinions, cutting each other off and generally mocking everything that is wrong with sports today. This show captures the beauty of that.

Along with scores and predictions, the ESPN show (which is also aired on TV) is highly entertaining with "Fill in the Blank" segments, role play, and general old husband-and-wife-type bickering.

Kevin Pollak's Chat Show

Back on the scene, "Kevin Pollak's Chat Show" is back from its recent late 2012 break with new guests and new chats. Kevin crosses paths with some real rare gems of the entertainment scene with stories for days. Pollak, no stranger to Hollywood and comedy, is upfront and candid with his guests, the likes of Ivan Reitman, Glenn Howerton and other successful people who have been through the ringer and came up smelling rosey.

Friends with Music

Nobody carries on better honest conversation concerning good music and the throws of friendship than friends themselves. Coming out of a Chicago basement studio, Matt Bauer brings his buddies in to talk about music and joke around in an honest attempt at podcasting purely for entertainment without Hollywood up its ass.

If you're the type who enjoys sitting around slinging jokes and hashing out fond memories of a better, younger you, this podcast will likely become a better friend to you than the people you waste your time around.

WTF with Marc Maron

Comedian Marc Maron is not only one of the few successful comedians who can make a successful podcast, but his guest list is also pretty accomplished, as well. In combination with the Jim Gaffigan and Zach Galifianakis types coming through Maron's home studio in L.A. twice a week, Maron knows how to bring the Woody Allen and Larry David out of a situation with his observational humor and honest as an altar boy humor. If nerdy comedy is what's in, Mark is president of the club.

This American Life

With nearly a million views per episode, Ira Glass and his real life podcast continue to make waves. The show host and his weekly hour take on themes from dark to chipper with waves of perceptive banter. From stories and essays to it's-funny-because-it's-true moments, join Ira for one of the nation's most talked about podcasts, surely enjoyable if you liked the TV series.

Nerdist

In its third year as a podcast, Chris Hardwick and his buddies are continuing to kill it with their celebrity nerd guests, along with some of comedy and entertainment's best artists and writers. Pull out your pocket protector and get ready for a nerd fest of nerd culture and a bunch of laughs, as Chris and the guys invite anybody from Dave Grohl to Drew Carey in for insightful Nerdist chats.

ANALYSIS: IT'S PROBABLY AN EAR TRUMPET

In spite of its name, the early hearing aid devices known as "ear trumpets" weren't always trumpet-shaped. The smaller and more sophisticated models could fit unobtrusively in the palm of ones hand, to be pointed at whatever needed hearing better.

It's also possible she was using (or having problems with) one of the early electronic hearing aids, which had been invented just a few years prior. Or hell, maybe she had an earache, or a weird itch, or was covering up a weird blemish or something. Since the picture is so indistinct (even more so in the original video) it's hard to tell if she has anything in her hand at all.

EVIDENCE: TIME HIPSTER

Much like Justice Potter Stewart's famous definition of the difference between art and pornography, we may not be able to define hipsters but we know them when we see them, and some people think that they can see one here. This 1940 (or '41) photo from the Canadian archives seems to show a man with a modern set of Ray Bans, a modern camera, and a screen-printed t-shirt (first developed twenty years later).

Analysis of the original photo shows that it's the correct age and had not been tampered with, and further research even turned up an alternate angle on the same crowd where the man could still be seen. Does the common hipster's perverse fascination with vintage styles extend all the way to actual time travel?
