WHen Regis mentioned Richard Kind played the Press Secretary, I'm surprised he
didn't allude to the Press Secretary's appearance in character on WWTBAM last
November.
Hiphats

My parents thought SINGLED OUT was a sports show. I had to explain to
them it an MTV dating show hosted by Chuck Woolery.

That was Chuck Berry's only US #1, BTW. I used to have an album with an
11 minute version of MD-A-L.

RAN and A THOUSAND ACRES are both KING LEAR (according to Leonard
Maltin).

I can't get worse than this, can it?
>Oops. He leaves with nothing. The correct answer is C.
Oh, it CAN get worse! Is he the SIXTH contestant to leave with $0? And, are we
going to have another one of those shows where nobody wins more than $1,000?
>he has $125,000!
Well, at least SOMEBODY did decently in Last Night's episode.

As I've stated before in this newsgroup, and I will state again, I don't like
the idea of Celebrity Millionaire and will probably not watch it.
Doesn't look like I missed a very good episode Yesterday. Thanks! Feel better
now.

I'm not as surprised about this as perhaps I should be. A popular cookbook
author -- Marion Cunningham, I think -- relates the story of a woman who, given
a recipe that called for softened butter, tried to find some at the grocery
store.

and I Didn't Give Him a Chance to Answer."

Round peg? They got it backwards. Of course a round peg fits into a
square hole, because it's smaller. The square peg has the extra bits
that cause it not to fit.
Further, Sarah Jessica Parker starred in Square Pegs, not Round Pegs.
I can't believe no one brought this up.

Depends on the size of the square hole. But you're right, of course.
