And speaking of binges, Mr. Mark's top publicity dog unknowingly hints that maybe today's TV will join music down the memory rathole:

Here's a trivia question: who was the host of "The Daily Show" when Stephen Colbert got his start as a correspondent? Need a hint? It wasn't Jon Stewart. "The show's gotten much more thoughtful and timely since Jon arrived," says Scott Dikkers, editor in chief of the weekly mock newspaper The Onion. "It was a bit more smarmy under, um, what's his name—oh, I'm forgetting his name ... Kilborn. Craig Kilborn." Ouch.

They'll NEVER forget the EDWARD R. MURROW of COMEDY. (We should advise our two readers, however, that Will Rogers was a newsman on the side -- he wrote a column for THE PAPER OF RE-CORD. Who laughs at him now? And he, at least, could be funny.)
