I haven't seen them! I'm more of a MAD TV kinda person, actually. LUV that show (even though it hasn't been good at all this year).

Are you kidding ? This is the first year I have watched it, and it is uneven, but so damned funny at times. It must have been incredible in the past. How about "Boy Meets Goy" ? I almost fell out of bed each time I saw that. There was this UPN Hollywood Squares thing that had the same effect on me.

I have seen the one where they do Matthews and it is hysterical. I guess they did all the Dems alst week and I missed it. They had one of the girls play Kucinich.

You have a point there. He is kind of hot.

Oh yeah, I haven't seen her anchor in an age, of course, but I love Linda Ellerbee.

I forgot all about her. She is fantastic. I remember her from the late 70's or early 80's anchoring some show that was on at 1 or 2 in the morning. Overnight ? Allnight ? Something like that. I loved her tag line "And so it goes...".

By far...Jimmy Fallon & Tina Fey....but, I like Jon Stewart, too.

Seriously, I still miss Walter Cronkite.

No real favorite out of the following crew:

National:
Dan Abrahams
John Siegenthaler
Keith Olbermann
Lester Holt
Chris Matthews
Peter Jennings
(can you tell when I watch REAL news, it is usually MSNBC? )

Local (Los Angeles):
Hal Fishman
Emmett Miller/Sharon Tay

You should watch the reruns on Comedy Central (they're on every day, all damn day!) of the old episodes. It was so f*cking funny (I mean "fall-over-and-piss-yourself" funny!) back in the day. This was before Debra Wilson and Nicole Sullivan left the show; they were the greatest. I love Mo Collins, too. Debra Wilson did the BEST Whitney skits!!!

"My man is all the drug I need! The only drug this DIVA needs!!! My man, on top of me...hot and sweaty...wild MONKEY LOVE!! Yeah, the king of R&B, my man, my drug, my cocaine, my joint, Mr. Whiteny Houston, the numba one DIVA, Bobby Brown!! F*ck BB King, my man is the king!"

And that's the name of her hilarious bestseller.

I used to see him all of the time in Atlanta. I work across from CNN and my posse' ( ) and I go to CNN Center to eat lunch in the food court. AC in tiny and very nice - he waited behind me in line once I should have told him thank goodness the Vanderbilt money is in trust because my friend Dissention wants it all to go the Fed.'s for redistribution to the poor

(Dissention, I could not resist and am sure you know I am totally joking )

Of course I know you're kidding!

I love his irreverant delivery of the news. One night a female reporter did a segment on aging and at the end she was sitting at the desk with AC and remarked about how they weren't aging that well. Anderson looked at her with a sideways glance and quipped, "Speak for yourself." It was hilarious.

Did you see the show where he had Michael Stipe as co-anchor? I laughed my ass off the whole time; it was fantastic.

Oh, it was sooooo good. They just sat there and made sarcastic remarks about the people in the news.
