Be the jerk, or the goon, or try out a new Tim Gunn impression in the hopes that when this show is over, people will remember you for something.

No? Well, then you're probably not Tyra Banks (Look in the mirror and check for eye-smiles just to make sure.) On Friday night, while most of America was off not seeing The Love Guru, Tyra Banks, Rachael Ray, that woman from The View, and various nameless, mannequin-faced soap stars were being whisked through the K-Mart style lounge like the daytime stars that they are for the 2008 Daytime Emmy Awards.
