The Best Show on WFMU host Tom Scharpling has been up to some pretty major off-mic action. If you've been hiding under a rock for the past week or so, you may have missed Ted Leo's new video for the song "Bottled in Cork" (below), which has just reached Immortal status on the Funny or Die website (with over 100,000 hits!). Spoofing the Green Day broadway musical, American Idiot, the video stars Paul F. Tomkins and John Hodgman, was written and directed by Tom Scharpling, and was produced by WFMU's Hatch. Pitchfork even gave the video some major props, and posted this interview with Scharpling.

















Spotted Terri T, natch, and is that Therese in green to John Hodgeman's left?
