Blake Shelton’s “Just-Like-The-Voice” Chair: The Holiday Gift For The TV Fan That Has Everything!

Blake Shelton's "Not-So-Family Christmas" special aired Monday night--in a brilliant but obvious bit of NBC synergy, right after Monday's "Voice"--and I have to say, if and when Blake takes a hiatus from "The Voice," he ought to consider a career in comedy instead of country. He exhibited surprisingly superb comedic timing, no doubt honed from months of wittily bantering with Adam Levine, Christina Aguilera, and Cee Lo Green. And one of my favorite funny skits from his special was his infomercial, for the must-have gift for any "Voice" fan on anyone's holiday shopping list: the "Blake Shelton's Just-Like-The-Voice Chair."

I just wish this wasn't a skit. I kind of want one of these! Dang you, fake 555 phone numbers!

Can someone please buy me some red gaffer's tape, a rolling Ikea desk chair, and one of those retail-counter-bell thingies for Chrismukkah this year? K thanks.
