"  \u200B\u200B Published in the January 2012 issue Here&amp;#039;s\u00A0one: A traveling salesman stops at the nearest farmhouse and asks if he can spend the night. The farmer says okay, and tells him he can go upstairs and sleep in the same room as his daughter. The salesman goes upstairs, and as he enters the daughter&amp;#039;s room notices another salesman in bed with her. &amp;quot;Sorry,&amp;quot; he says. &amp;quot;I must be in the wrong joke.&amp;quot; About the jokester: To us, Hayden Panettiere will always be Claire Bennet, the indestructible cheerleader on Heroes. So it&amp;#039;s a little jarring to see her on ABC&amp;#039;s Nashville as a fame-hungry country star (or, as she puts it, &amp;quot;the cold bitch of the century&amp;quot;) gunning for the spotlight occupied by a veteran performer played by Connie Britton (who will always be Tami Taylor from Friday Night Lights). It was a little unnerving for the 23-year-old herself: &amp;quot;I kept apologizing after my first scene with Connie, saying, &amp;#039;I don&amp;#039;t mean it!&amp;#039; &amp;quot; She&amp;#039;s settled into the role, though, recording her own (not bad at all) vocals for the show&amp;#039;s (not bad at all) songs and relishing the opportunity to expand her range. &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s fun,&amp;quot; she says. &amp;quot;You get permission to be openly nasty and get away with it.&amp;quot; We&amp;#039;ll get used to it at some point. \u2014Matt Goulet *Esquire cannot guarantee that this joke will be funny to everyone.
