Changing Channels

There’s NO WAY Howie Mandel could do it! Drew Carey’s job as host of daytime game-show The Price Is Right, that is. Carey shakes hands, often, gets squeezed … HARD! and seems to love every second of it. The former improv and comedy star is EXCELLENT in this role, which would be no work for…

“Find something you love to do in this world and don’t let anyone ever change your opinion that you can do it.” Former Major League Baseball pitcher Jim Abbott said the above during a recent CBS Sunday Morning profile. Abbott has lived those words and is an inspiration to anyone who has seen his “work”…

Clay Aiken raised over $100,000 more for his charity in The Apprentice finale than his competitor Arsenio Hall. He also got the nod from three of five competitors from ‘The Donald’ when they were asked who should win the reality show finale. Yet Donald Trump went with Hall, and made a mistake in my opinion.…

Gentle and smooth enough to show off homes on NBC’s Today Show, but tough and grizzled  enough to mix it up with business superstars on ABC’s Shark Tank, Barbara Corcoran is one winning woman. I had to blog about her after the inventor a truck bed mattress refused her offer to go into business together.…

America’s Got Talent has always been one of my favorite shows, especially as an escape from the heat of the summer. I’m not sure if the program will ever be the same for me, however. That’s because of the addition of  the “King of All Media”, one Howard Stern. And it’s not that Stern hasn’t…

Maybe I’m making too much of this, but at the end of Sunday’s The Apprentice it seems clear to me host Donald Trump is clearly looking in one direction when he fires the last of the remaining three competitors. The thing is when NBC teased Sunday’s show in the final clips, Trump appears to be…

The passing of George Lindsey over the weekend made for sad news. The actor, who passed at 83 after a short illness, portrayed “Goober” Pyle on The Andy Griffith Show and Mayberry RFD. Lindsey wasn’t a spectacular actor, mind you, but the simplicity he brought to the role of “Goober” was special in its own…

There’s just too much death and sadness in the news lately. It wasn’t any better Wednesday with reports of the suicide, via a single bullet to the chest, of ex-legendary NFL linebacker Junior Seau. I always regretted missing the opportunity to meet him when I lived and worked as a reporter  in California. He was…

No matter how many times I’ve seen it, Salma Hayek’s ad for Got Milk? makes me laugh. How many of us have endured the same type of stuff, being out of a crucial grocery item and having to go out late at night to get it. The fact she’s willing to poke fun at herself…

I’ll admit it, I changed my tune on Dick Clark’s  Rockin’ New Year’s Eve party. Well, at least the program’s namesake, as co-host Ryan Seacrest and music acts like Lady GaGa are not my thing. I had been a little harsh on watching Dick Clark slur through some segments during the ABC broadcast in recent…
