Morgan Freeman. Out of left field, but he would be great.

My station added Ask Me Another a couple of months ago, Still getting used to it.

They use the question&answer bits from old shows but the other bits, like show openings, seem to be mostly new. Tom had a minor stroke a couple of years back, which is why they decided to cut the workload.
Hell, Carl Kasell was really sick for a while, too. What is it with these people, getting old?

Part of the problem is the old "write what you know" dictum. If all you know is your own life experience and you haven't had very much of same, then what you write will turn out to be boring as hell to most readers.

You should see some of the negative criticism directed at P.G. Wodehouse, by readers who don't seem to understand that the basis of his work was making fun of upper class twits.

Ah, damn, if only Mel Gibson played Noah.

A is for Acid, starring Martin Clunes. It worked for the murderer for years, to the point where he had to guesstimate how many people he'd killed.

Wow. I read that as an "Errol Flynn" movie, and, well, I was surprised. But interested.

I suggest an inflatable sex doll with a cheap wig to play Trump. Or Harlan Ellison.

So this isn't about dogs?
