Ever see a newscaster wear fangs?

Last night, MSNBC host Rachel Maddow took a few moments to feature the comedy of a character named Billy Bob Neck, a right-wing, tea party extremist invented by liberal jokester Paul Day.

He'd recently brought a dire message to the Internet: the shocking revelation of Maddow's status as a covert, lesbian vampire, exposed thanks to a cleverly-disguised bite mark on her neck.

Day's shtick was funny enough that it left Maddow and her staff "unable to work, talk and in some cases breathe like normal humans are supposed to breathe," she explained.

Following the segment, the host donned a cape and fangs, yucking it up with tongue planted firmly in cheek.

"Now that I have been exposed, I can't say for certain that I will see you on Monday," Maddow said. "But, I hope you have a good weekend anyway."
