Can you spot all the nerdy villains?

Reagan RayGun OS 9-11 - The Daily Show Republican Supercomputer

As part of The Daily Show's slowly ramping up Election 2012 coverage - Indecision 2012 ... (600 days away? haha) -- Jon Stewart sat down with a potential Republican presidential candidate option: an IBM Watson inspired supercomputer called the RayGun OS 9-11.

What's that? It's not RayGun, it's REAGAN?  Ohhh... I, and many others, heard RAYGUN when the episode aired, and that worked just as well. haha

Either way, here it is:
"grew up the son of  a poor adding machine whose grandfather fought in Y2K"

Early In Their IMDBs: Sarah Jessica Parker was in Flight of the Navigator

Flight of the Navigator - awesome 80s Disney sci-fi movie - had Sarah Jessica Parker in it! The cute nurse!

Sarah Jessica Parker as Carolyn McAdams in Flight of the Navigator
That's right, early in her career, as she started to skyrocket to stardom with a bunch of mid-80s movie roles, one we might forget is the role of Carolyn McAdams in FOTN.  She was the intern (nurse? whatever), at the crazy NASA facility that befriends the main kid character, David.  Anyways, point is, SJP was in this cult classic in those early days, and it even had Pee-Wee Herman in it (Paul Ruebens voiced the alien/ship under a screen name "Paul Mall"!)

More Pics:

Double Egg: The Fugitive Seinfeld Comeback

Remember the bad doctor character from The Fugitive? Dr. Charles Nichols?  Now, recall the Seinfeld episode ("The Comeback") where Jerry plays tennis against a eastern european pro shop owner who sucks at tennis - guy called Miloš?  Are they the same guy?
Random lookalike question of the week, very random. You be the judge.  I'm not really seeing it, but I love both The Fugitive and Seinfeld, so here we go.


Actually: Left:The Fugitive's Charles Nichols Jeroen Krabbé and Right:Miloš Seinfeld Mark Harelik
