VersaCorp, meanwhile, pays a visit to Carson Daly, first seen strumming a guitar. I love when we get to see the artistic, sensitive side of Carson Daly. That's the side of him the Tara Reid never understood, you know. Anyway, Amy, Tammy, and Ereka come in to talk turkey. Ereka interviews that they were hoping to do some kind of deal involving his various music industry connections. Because Carson Daly is totally the music industry on a plate, you know. Provided you don't mind a plate that contains mostly cheese. Amy asks Carson what concerts are coming up that he might have something to do with, and he mentions the Z100 Jingle Ball. He calls it "very, very big." Amy asks if he would host a limo ride and eight tickets for a group. It looks like VersaCorp has come across yet another fairly smooth transaction to follow the good job they did at the flea market last week.

And then, without warning, Tammy changes track. "Do you know Tiger Woods?" she asks. A hesitant Carson gives her a noncommittal "Yeah." Yeah, there's nothing a famous person likes as much as being asked whether he knows someone more famous than he is. Tammy asks about auctioning off a round of golf with Carson and Tiger. "What have you been drinkin' tonight?" Carson asks her. Wait, wait, I know, I know! The answer is...straight grain alcohol, since nine o'clock this morning! "I can't get Tiger Woods these days to do my own talk show," Daly says through gritted teeth, "not to mention play golf." Amy interviews that Tammy treated poor Carson and his giant and famous aura like she didn't care so much about him as much as she did about his connection to other people. Even though Carson Daly is a tool and kind of deserves it, I totally agree with Amy, strategy-wise. Tammy made a big error there by failing to treat Carson Daly like enough of a celebrity. Some of these people have enormous and fragile egos, and the last thing you want to do is act like you only love them for their connections to people who are really important. She also made a major blunder by putting Daly in the position where he had to admit that he simply lacks the pull to make something happen. It's one thing to ask for too much -- to ask Simmons for something he's not willing to give, for instance -- but to ask for something that the guy has to just tell you he couldn't get even if he wanted to...that's very bad celebrity politics. I mean, politically, it's, like, Dukakis-having-his-picture-taken-in-a-tank bad.
