Hillary Clinton stopped by The Tonight Show to be interviewed by Jimmy Fallon as Donald Trump -- "Congratulations, you're speaking to Donald Trump" -- and later featured Clinton's own Trump impression alongside a little political talk (you may have heard, there's kind of this whole e-mail thing going on). If Fallon isn't careful he might find himself moderating the next GOP debate, a.k.a., the worst job on television. |  | |  | | | |  |  | | MasterChef |  | | FOX |  | WHAT HAPPENED: It came down to three home chefs with strong personalities, motivations ("Derrick thinks this is his culinary Grammy, Claudia for her daughter, and Stephen for his vegetables in his garden or something," according to EW recapper Sean Evans), and the skills to back them up in Wednesday night's season 6 finale of MasterChef. You could imagine any one of them having, say, a cooking show about merging their rock 'n roll lifestyle with 5-star culinary prowess and perpetual sleevelessness on the Food Network. But in a slightly unexpected twist, it was Claudia, the mom with a passion for her Mexican culinary roots, whom the judges chose as the champion and winner of $250K, a cookbook, and the MasterChef trophy. |  | WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: Many more vocal fans felt that Derrick was "robbed" of the MasterChef title, with producers choosing a marketable story over the more masterful chef -- the crystal-eyed man did make pan seared venison, root vegetables, and a puff pastry latticed cage that totally killed as his final entrée. But, as always, the only MasterChef opinion on Twitter that matters is that of superstar/superfan Anna Kendrick: "Ok I'm really stressed but Derrick humping that whip injector made me laugh." So, Derrick is kind of the winner after all, isn't he? |  | |  | | |  | |  |  |  | | America's Got Talent |  | | NBC |  | WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: Wednesday was an evening full of shocking finale choices. Let EW recapper Lincee Ray fill you in on who's left to choose from: "a couple of singers, a few comedians, a magician, a mentalist, a little guy with a ladder, a bloke with a puppet, a magic dragon, and a man who can swallow whatever is currently in your kitchen junk drawer." And though many thought it would undoubtedly come down to the junk-swallower and the most endearing of the comedians, it was Paul Zerdin the Ventriloquist who came out of nowhere to win America's vote. Well, at least Stevie Starr will always have the time he swallowed a live goldfish and a capped film canister full of water, put the fish inside the canister, replaced the lid, and hacked it back up in front of Heidi Klum... he'll always have that. |  | WHAT HAPPENED: USA Today's Got (Jokes) : "It would be hard to blame ventriloquist Paul Zerdin if he couldn't keep his mouth shut after winning America's Got Talent Wednesday." Indeed, if there was one act unique enough -- and not simultaneously gag-inducing -- to headline the "America's Got Talent Live" show in Vegas and actually draw a crowd, it's got to be Paul and his dummies. But this just wasn't the most exciting season of AGT, and with the exit of Howard Stern, they're going to need to pull out some big guns (maybe guns that people then swallow?) if the show is to go on to an 11th season. |  | |  | | |  | | |  | |  |  | | You're the Worst |  | | FXX |  | WHAT HAPPENED: EW recapper Jessica Goodman has a fair question: "Could Gretchen Cutler, the woman who burned down her apartment with a vibrator, be the 'best' person on this show?!" At least for Wednesday night, she took the (relative) top morality spot. Gretch spent most of the episode looking to buy actual "stuff" to make her a part of Jimmy's home, but only ends up with a nightstand and a Kool Kat poster, and for a brief time, college-freshman-worthy shower shoes. And Jimmy... well, he was too busy writing crappy Nazi characters to help much beyond making out on a carousel at the mall. |  | WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING: It is not a matter of opinion, but fact, that Lindsay was the titular Worst for the second episode in a row on Wednesday night. Vulture summarizes her worst offenses thusly: "She thinks Delaware is a country. She also thinks Europe is a country. She thinks the National Air and Space Museum was named after a guy named 'Aaron Space.' She cajoles Edgar into making her a coconut cream pie, even though 'you'd also have to go to the store for me and buy me ice cream and tampons.'" And dammit, Edgar would do it too, because Lindsay is just that bad. |  | |  | | |  | One More Thing... | |  |  | | South Park Goes P.C. |  | | Comedy Central |  | SHOW KYLE A HERO: The second worst job on television, the principal of South Park Elementary, found itself vacant in the South Park 19th season premiere. It was filled with the Cartman's worst nightmare: P.C. Principal. After a year off the air, this season has a lot of ground to cover, and it started with Caitlyn Jenner, Deflategate, and a satirical look at what's worse: being overly (ahem, principally?) P.C. or not being politically correct at all. Most Matt & Trey fans probably know the direction the majority of that mocking will take... |  | |  | | |  | Also Check Out... | |  | |  | |  |  |  |  | | |  | Copyright © 2015 Entertainment Weekly and Time Inc.
