MANILOW—Who was the one singer beloved by both Frank Sinatra and Bob Dylan? Barry Motherfucking Manilow. The top balladeer of the ’70s, he’s responsible for the chart-topping “Mandy,” “Copacabana,” “Looks Like We Made It”… shall I continue? FINE! “I Write the Songs,” “Can’t Smile Without You,” and countless others, because Barry Motherfucking Manilow is a one-of-a-kind pop-music juggernaut. WM. STEVEN HUMPHREY

COMEDY—Jim Jefferies could be considered a funny bastard. The Aussie stand-up has bits about US gun control and freedom that are spot-on and hysterical. If you can stomach his similarity to Seth MacFarlane and a testosteroneladen pandering to chest-thumping brodudes… you’ll probably like him. COURTNEY FERGUSON
