Spelling Bee finals are tonight (8pm, ABC). The event is mad fun. Here are a few recommendations we'd like to pass along to you: (1) do this in conjunction with the Bee; (2) watch this clip; (3) watch this montage of clips; (4) don't faint when you watch it; (5) can you even spell this word? ; (6) this is a question you ask often during adolescence; (7) a Spelling Bee winner gets all up in the grill of a TV anchor; (8) this is a very good overall clip as well; (9) Jimmy Kimmel does the spelling bee; and (10) this is a good feature on Jacques Bailly, who is the official pronouncer (you would probably call him "the announcer" or "the word reader"). Enjoy -- and if you want to enjoy it more, check this application out.
