After live-tweeting the Tony Awards telecast Sunday night, Terri and Catherine got together for a Round 2 review, with discussion of co-hosts Kristin Chenoweth and Alan Cumming (and the impossibility of topping NPH's opening number from a few years ago), the general dissing of plays, the "awesome" online red carpet, the relegation of too many awards to commercial-break time (including a lifetime achievement for Tommy Tune, who you really want to put in front of a mic on your broadcast, CBS, c'mon), and the need to maybe move the ceremony to a cable channel where it could be less devoted to putting people you recognize from TV and movies on your screen. From there, we tap-danced over to Fox's So You Think You Can Dance for a chat about the surprising lucidity of Paula Abdul, the reason girls are dancing in their underwear, the winnowing that must get done between the line and the stage, what Jason Derulo brings to the table, and when we can be through with all this auditioning already.
