And there was a caption that said, 'My name is Jimmy, but they call me the hideous penguin boy.' And I got this weird chill." As Penguin, DeVito gamely spewed black bile (food coloring and mouthwash) and ate raw fish (seasoned with lemon).

Asked whether she might serve as Vice President in a Clinton Administration, she snapped, "I'm not interested in attending a lot of funerals." Not to worry...
