There were probably many attempted jokes in Taxi, but I could only stare in frustrated amazement as unfunny turned to REALLY unfunny and then on to the level of unfunny I thought had been discontinued around the time of Nobody's Perfekt. It's not often anymore that the addition of Leslie Nielsen might have actually HELPED. On the plus side, Taxi should wipe the insecure smirk off Jimmy Fallon's face once and for all and send him into the paralysis of crippling self-doubt he richly deserves. As for Latifah … perhaps she'll have a "Christmas Carol"-style visitation from her 1988 self and get back on the right track, if in fact it's not already 15 years too late for that.
