Someone should tell him how much he hates it, because he sure devotes a hell of a lot of columns to it every four years.

So it had a happy ending then?

At Last!

I thought it was William Talman.

Remember when Arrested Development (the band) sued Fox over the name of Arrested Development?

I'm not sure Steve Carrell actually did anything. Even today, he's noticeably thinner on the left side of his scalp than the right in a lot of photos. In the first season, his hairline is in the same place, but Michael Scott gelled his hair straight back, which made the thin spots quite obvious. The change to…

Then just as things reached a fever pitch, they'd turn over the nothingburger to…

Trump clearly is unaware that the leaders of The Roots are named Ahmir and Tariq.

Carson also did a pretty good takedown of Jim Garrison in 1968. But he was never particularly difficult with politicians on his show that I can remember.

"Mean Camp… is that how you say it?"
