Hello. Sorry I didn't post more today. I spent most of the time in a recording studio pretending to be a director. Hint: If you act like you know what you're doing, people will think you do.
A lot of folks have written me to say the offer of a free mattress from Sit 'n Sleep is even hollower than I made it out to be. Said many, the offer only applies if you can find a lower advertised price on the exact same mattress elsewhere…and most Sit 'n Sleep mattresses are special models sold only in their stores. I would not be surprised if this is so.
I'm not happy to hear that Jon Stewart is taking a three-month leave o' absence from The Daily Show, though I am curious to see if the level of writing will remain as strong without him on the premises. As for the on-camera part of the job: John Oliver, who'll be sitting in for Stewart for that period, is a very funny guy but it feels to me like they're installing a Costello in a job that calls for an Abbott.
Lastly for now: Tomorrow, Stu Shostak is welcoming TV Critics/Historians Steve Beverly and Wesley Hyatt to his 'net radio show Stu's Show for a discussion of what's going on with the networks. I'll be joining the fray after 5:30 PM (Pacific Time) when they turn to the topic of the Leno/Fallon rumors. Click here to get in on the fun.
