Kevin I have to agree with you. And compliment you on your summation of the show.
I always had Today on in the early 80s while preparing for school. For some reason I recall a fluff piece they did on a book with the author of the demise of the English language in America. The example I remember was instead of people enunciating "did you eat yet? " they roll together the sounds "ja'yeet'yet". Now that I type this that was a pretty north east Caucasian story too . Late night and early morning shows are vehicles for promotion with either news or entertainment wrapped around. -- Sent from my Android device with K-9 Mail. Please excuse my brevity.
