First things first: Am I the only one who didn't know that Dan Cortese pronounces his last name in three syllables? Okay, now we can talk about Crash Course, ABC's latest reality offering that really should be on Spike. Each week, five pairs compete in various driving challenges for $50,000 and the "coveted Golden Steering Wheel." Cortese and Orlando Jones emcee the festivities from a should-be-safe distance (although, in last night's premiere, two cameramen almost got taken out). I would say the hosts are the best thing about this show. Jones is quick enough to mock the contestants; Cortese has mastered the look of dismay when one of his jokes goes over their heads. (It can happen!) The challenges, however, were pretty much a letdown. • Slip Slidin' Away: A car is towed, then released on a giant shuffleboard. The team scores points depending on what numbered area the left front tire of their car stops in.

If someone had told you in 1992 that MTV's resident jock, Dan Cortese, would be reincarnated into similarly musclebound, one-speed characters on some of the most successful television programs over the next 15 years (Seinfeld, 8 Simple Rules, Melrose Place), you probably would have been too busy huffing spray paint and listening to Sonic Youth's Dirty to care. The reality is that Dan Dan: The Whopper Man has gotten more television lives than any MTV host deserves, most recently in My Dad Is Better Than Your Dad and Superstars. Tonight, Cortese gets another chance to commentate in wrap-around sunglasses as the the co-host of ABC's new Crash Course.
