Writers often carp that most interviewers have seldom read their books. One guest on the Mike Douglas show was ready to accept the fact that his book had only been thumbed, but was surprised to see that the host's cue cards read: "That's interesting. Tell me about it." There are gaffs on even the largest, most thoroughly prepared programs. Interviewing Guy Lombardo about his book Auld Acquaintance, Jim Hartz of the Today show wanted to know how Brother Carmen was doing. "He passed away three years ago," answered...
...ghost. One night the chanting of protesters in Lafayette Square filled the darkened White House and she found it "very eerie." But no apparition walked the halls. Another time a thumping on the ceiling turned out to be one of her sons dropping the end of his pool cue on the carpet...

...they find themselves funny, they should not be disappointed with the show. Mark O'Donnell, taking his cue from the stuffed crocodiles over the Pudding's mantel, manages to change a repugnant beast and a vicious sport into a joke. Tots in Tinseltown mocks elitism, the quest for social position and the opportunist money-grubbing that buys such status. O'Donnell's game is played by the Peabodies and the Woolworths, who cavort on stage, singing "We went and bought ourselves a lot of mystique..."
