What has gotten into Grey's Anatomy's Kate Walsh?

Clearly, there's something very scripted about this whole clip from David Spade's "The Showbiz Show," and I wonder if it's ABC trying to change Walsh's image to fit in with the feel of her new Grey's spinoff tentatively titled "Private Practice."

If the show is anything like that two hour debacle that aired on a "special" Grey's Anatomy this season, I doubt this show will last more than 8 episodes.

However, this is coming from the guy who thought iPods were stupid when they came out.
