From the archives. The contestant is Rivkah Meder from Richmond, Virginia. You know it’s going to be a tough one when host Fred Child says, “That was beautiful. Whatever it is.” One of...
On this week’s Naked Lunch podcast, co-hosts Phil Rosenthal and David Wild write that they are “thrilled to welcome a great friend -- beloved actress, best-selling author, humanitarian Kimberly...

Since tonight is the first game of the World Series, I thought it was only proper to have a baseball video this evening. But even if you don't like baseball, this is still joyous. A bit of...
I came across an excellent story yesterday, but one that overlaps with my article that I'd posted earlier in the morning, so my first thought was to let it pass. However, it overlaps so much -- at...

The hellhole that Trump has sunk the country into will sadly, horrifically go on for a while. But as I firmly believe (and I think with evidence to support it) at this point, every hellish thing he...
I swear that I came across this video only this morning and totally by accident. I was searching for something else completely, and this showed up. A bit of history first. Back in 1976, legends...

Last Friday, the New York Times published an online op-ed video by six young voters, titled, "Thanks a Lot, Boomers." I fully understand their anger at the world they find themselves in and...
I haven't had a "50 People Try to…" video from Epicurious for a while, so let's correct that. These are the videos where Epicurious magazine sets a pretty basic cooking task and brings 50 people...

This is a small matter. It did get a little attention the other day, albeit just a very little, but events over the weekend, most notably the No Kings rallies across the country, swamped it. B ut...
If you didn't see Jon Stewart's Monday hosting of The Daily Show, the topic of the day was the No Kings rallies, and the response to them by Trump and the MAGOP. The short version is that the...

I think one of the most notable things about the No Kings rallies across the country yesterday was how the MAGOPs clearly had no idea how to address it. And the problem with not knowing how to...
Once again, we have quite a treat. While this doesn’t come from the time of the original production in 1945, but nine years later, it’s nonetheless the two original stars – John Raitt and Jan...

On this week’s Naked Lunch podcast, co-hosts Phil Rosenthal and David Wild write that “It's a Joy To The World when they get to Celebrate their love for the music of Three Dog Night with Danny...
On this week’s ‘Not My Job’ segment of the NPR quiz show Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me! , the guest contestant is singer-actress Reneé Rapp. Her interview with host Peter Sagal is amusingly...

We have a new one this week. The contestant is Ann Kirschner from Brooklyn, New York. To my shock, I got the composer style (and even the piece it’s based on) in literally just two notes. But...
The guest on this week’s Al Franken podcast is David Hogg, co-founder of March For Our Lives and his PAC, Leaders We Deserve. The show writes it welcomes “David Hogg to the podcast. He shares...

On Tuesday, Politico published a galling, but sadly not surprising article about a private chat site on the Telegram platform of local leaders of the Young Republicans from New York, Kanas, Arizona...
This is a wonderful rarity. As part of one of the TV series that Harry Secombe starred in, this is from a 1966 episode of Secombe and Friends. And it reunited his Goon Show compatriots – Peter...

The Supreme Court taking up Section 2 of the Voting Rights Act, and seemingly on the verge of overturning it would, as most analysis has noted, cause huge, new problems for Democrats in the...
Here is another excerpt from the aforementioned series described as “Broadway, I Love You,” but instead (I believe ) is a spin-off of that local WCBS show which became a Sunday afternoon...

Stephen Colbert always opens his show with a short, comical commentary video from the news. He had one on Monday night that was so wonderful, but as much as I tried to find it online, I couldn't. ...
This is one of those times when I think I need a breather from the News of the Day, and write about something else instead. That I've chosen to make it about something a personal experience that...

On Monday night, Stephen Colbert had a tribute of sorts to Diane Keaton who had passed away on Saturday. He reran an interview that he had done with her from his The Colbert Report show in...
This is becoming the MAGOP tactic. It's creepy, reprehensible, divisive, not surprising given the source -- and generally pretty stupid because it's often very easy to spot the fraud which shows...

If you didn’t see Last Week Tonight with John Oliver last night, the Main Story was on Bari Weiss -- who is the new supposedly-moderate, but actually solidly conservative opinion writer who...
Originally, I was going to post this because it’s Julie Andrews early in her career, appearing on The Garry Moore Show (which is likely where she met and became friends with Carol Burnett.) ...

Late Saturday night, early Sunday morning, Trump wrote on social media a truly delusional post. I don't always post directly what he wrote, but this is a "must" because there should be no mistake...
On this week’s ‘Not My Job’ segment of the NPR quiz show Wait, Wait…Don’t Tell Me!, the guest contestant is multi-Emmy-winning sportscaster and journalist Bob Costas. His interview with...
The guest on this week’s Al Franken podcast ( recorded right before the government shutdown) is Norm Ornstein, emeritus scholar at the American Enterprise Institute. As the show writes,...

On this week’s episode of 3rd & Fairfax , the official podcast of the Writers Guild of America, the guests are screenwriter-director Shane Black ( Lethal Weapon, The Nice Guys , Iron Man 3,...
From the archives. This week’s contestants are Tara Rozanski and Kobi Davidson from Collingswood, New Jersey. I got the hidden song pretty quickly, and thought most would, as long as they knew...

This is the heartbreaking, but also heartwarming story that takes place in, of all places, Ukraine. It’s the story of a sweet, young dog whose owner passed away, and the new owners wanted nothing...
I know that the big news yesterday was, understandably, the indictment of New York Attorney General Leticia James. The reality is, though, that as sickening as the news was with the indictment ...

We're going to turn this morning over to Jimmy Kimmel. This is his monologue from Tuesday night, and it's all very good -- but I'm posting this for one specific reason that you can jump to at the...
J. Kenji Lopez-Alt is a chef, NYT food columnist, James Beard Award-winner and more. He also releases wonderfully entertaining videos for home cooks for making basic dishes really well. The...

The last couple of days, there have been two off-handed comments that got lost among much bigger news on the surface, yet which I think are not without meaning. The first, its meaning small,...
We haven't gone out and about with Jiminy Glick for much too long, so let's rectify that. Here he is interviewing Rob Reiner, who does a wonderful taking it all very seriously.

This will be long, because the specifics are necessary. And being necessary, then hopefully interesting, as well. Having said that, I think the length will not be a surprise once you get through...
If you didn't see Jon Stewart's Monday hosting of THE DAILY SHOW, his main story was about the government shutdown. While I didn't find it as detailed and substantive as his best pieces, it was...

This is one of those days when I need a respite. And so I thought this would be a proper may to take a breath. I've posted it before, several years ago, but it hits the spot for me. (Not to...
