[TV orNotTV] Phil Donahue interview on HuffPost Live

HuffPo took a break of its wall-to-wall coverage of Kardashians to interview the former talk show host. His comments about MSNBC and Chris Matthews were interesting to hear. Admittedly, Donahue is full of himself and his comments are heavily biased in his favor, but if you cut through that, he mak

Re: [TV orNotTV] Bill Carter says "Tonight" will move back to NY, with Fallon

I've been giving some thought to the recent confirmation that NBC is building a new studio in NY for Fallon; conventional wisdom is that when (not if) he gets "Tonight", he'll stay in New York. That would dramatically shift the balance of late-night power back to the east coast with Fallon, Da

Re: [TV orNotTV] Bill Carter says "Tonight" will move back to NY, with Fallon

Plus, I think Jimmy Fallon has a lot more arrows in his quiver when it comes to filling time than most. He can engage the audience in the studio for a game like Wheel of Carpet Samples. He can play a game like Password with guests. He can play a song in character. He can do a sketch like his Lost o

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: The Challenger

Feynman certainly was an incredible character, with lots of lock-picking and bongo-drum playing antics. I suppose the closest we get to that is a brief scene set in one of his lectures right at the start of the film. I suspect though, that the producers left that aside that fun aspect of his life
