Right; but that is not my point. My point is that it would be bad if we got to the point where people were fired as soon as an accusation was made. That is not what happened here, both because Lauer admitted to wrongdoing and because, even had he not, there was adequate persuasive evidence that he

Not much on TV made my dad laugh. Jack Benny, and later Alan King, did. And so did Gomer Pyle (much to my surprise). I remember there was one episode where someone got his foot stuck in a boot (one of those always reliable sitcom plots). There were tears streaming down my father's face from

I've watched most of the episodes this season. They seem to be covering very social issues (LGBT, racism) etc.Based on my wiki reading of the stage production, that seems in line. I got the sense that a lot of the themes reminded me of All in the Family -- tonight's ep featured a "chinaman"

RE: [TV orNotTV] "live on tape" my ass

I went back and checked the tape. Batiste was wearing a charcoal jacket over a black shirt during the monologue. Then, when they returned from the commercial break, he was wearing a loud, mostly-gold jacket, which we saw again during Timberlake’s walk-out, after the Big Questions bit. I

So... There wasn't a shot of Batiste during JT's panel segments, but he was in the background of a shot of Colbert and JT walking to their seats.  Without Batiste in focus, I can't be sure it was the same bold pattern as in the second act.  But it was *not* the same coat he was wearing during

Lauer’s apology below. Apparently he is not proud of his behavior. As I expected, while he makes room for himself to deny criminal activity, he does not deny inappropriate behavior, which makes the decision to fire him so quickly justified.
