HE ALSO MAKES ME MISS ROGER CLINTON: One thing I learned from watching the Miss Universe Pageant tonight -- and, really, the only thing I learned?

Ryan Seacrest is really good at what he does.

How did I learn this? Because Billy Bush -- the man who already ruined the Oscars pre-game show with his annoying questions -- is just that bad a host.

There's a skill to what Seacrest does, playing the role of the dumb, affable host in a way that doesn't insult your intelligence. He's just kinda there, and never draws excessive attention to himself.

Bush, on the other hand? Guh. Ingratiating, faux-flirty, and just plain obnoxious, When he said that the show was being held in the center of the world, meaning Ecuador, you wished it were actually being held at the real center of the world -- the earth's core -- so you could watch him writhe in pain as he melted into nothingness.
