Mike White, who was a writer for the legendary comedy series “Freaks And Geeks” in addition to writing Jack Black comedy classics “Orange County“, “Nacho Libre” and “The School of Rock“, has decided to sign up for the CBS reality show “The Amazing Race,” with his elderly father.
We love unexpected, cross platform moves like this. Keeps things interesting.
Mike is also an occasional actor… he starred in the 2000 comedy “Chuck and Buck,” which he also wrote, which is a must see (especially if you like being creeped out).

Rolling Stone breaks down the secret White House record collection:
Stored in the basement of the executive mansion is the official White House Record Library: several hundred LPs that include landmark albums in rock (Led Zeppelin IV, the Rolling Stones’ Let It Bleed), punk (the Ramones’ Rocket to Russia, the Sex Pistols’ Never Mind the Bollocks, Here’s the Sex Pistols), cult classics (Captain Beefheart’s Trout Mask Replica, the Flying Burrito Brothers’ The Gilded Palace of Sin) and disco. Not to mention records by Santana, Neil Young, Talking Heads, Isaac Hayes, Elton John, the Cars and Barry Manilow.
Well at least he’s got something to listen to while he, y’know, relaxes.
