At the top of the show, Christopher salutes beloved T.V. personality Huell Howser. Eric announces his search for someone who has actually won the Publisher’s Clearinghouse Sweepstakes. Our Audiobook Bestsellers features TITS, the first novel from a cast member of the hit reality show ‘Grease Chicks.’ Variety deputy editor Ted Johnson and his former colleague Tim Williams take their seats at the table to dish on entertainment news and answer your questions, like whether violent films and video games cause outbreaks of real violence and if legendary New Your Times film critic Janet Maslin actually reviewed a gay porn film. You know you want to know. Our commercial breaks offer a time-honored solution to everyday problems, a foundation that prevents sick kids from being exploited by self-promoting celebs, a music festival that will literally blow your mind, and a new prime time drama where gay people have boring, ordinary lives…unless they are doctors.
And, of course, our Special Correspondents must add their one-and-a-half cents. Twan “Queen of the Stars” delivers bitter, passive-aggressive astrological readings. Newsman Breck Artery puzzles out how all minority groups can be discriminated against equally. Critic-at-large Jordan Ampersand reports on his visit to an event that may or not have been the White House Correspondents Dinner. Relationship expert JoNell Samms has some her own unique brand of tough talk on a taboo topic.
