From one Brooks, how many rivers flow? There’s a bit of trivia about the filmmaker, who turns 95 on Monday, that I often turn over in my head.

Talk Show Host CNN’s “The Story of Late Night” overlooked both “Broadway Open House” and the brilliant  young comedian/host who was stricken by tragedy on the eve of his network television  debut. SYRACUSE — Although I’ve enjoyed the first three episodes of “The Story of Late Night,” I was surprised that CNN barely acknowledged Jerry Lester and NBC’s “Broadway Open House,” which was TV’s first late night comedy/variety show. NBC aired it live...

As a Conservative, I have to confess I see less of a problem in having to deal with Biden, Schumer and Pelosi, than in having to accept that McConnell, McCarthy and Cheney constitute my party’s leadership. One day, God willing, those Democrats will be gone from the scene. But the fact that our party is being led by three hacks who hate Donald Trump means that even if these three are gone, they will be replaced by like-minded shills for the globalists, and that the likes of Jim Jordan, Devi...

13. “I remember arguing with you about John Ashbery, whom I couldn’t stand when I was in my thirties and forties. It might even have been during our first conversation in Paris, when I said I’ve never read a good Ashbery poem, and you answered by telling me a joke the comedian George Burns used to say about his friend and fellow comedian, Jack Benny.” “That I don’t remember,” Charlie said. “Remind me.” “Benny said to Burns, ‘In my whole life I’ve never had a good cup of ...

Canyon News   UNITED STATES—Are you celebrating, now that Southern California emerges from the quarantine woods, by setting out to do something special you long ago promised yourself would do? I’d love to hear about it. Meanwhile I continue the intellectual and nostalgic journey I promised myself in the depths of COVID: a defense of the 1963 madcap comedy epic, It’s a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. About 30 minutes, into the story of eight travelers brought together on a desert roadside by ...

Roker and Bibb -- The Comedy Act. Author: Leon Bibb Updated: 6:26 AM EDT May 10, 2021 CLEVELAND — Had you been there, you might have thought you were in a theater watching a couple of comedians throwing out humorous lines to whoever would listen. There were quick one-liners and longer stories, which called for double-takes on the guy laying down the comedy. It wasn’t a theater, but the inside of an RTA Rapid Transit car rolling through Cleveland. The guy gett...

As economic systems go, Slavery is probably the only one that is even dumber than Socialism. The reason the latter is so foolish is because it basically flies in the face of human nature by ignoring the fact it’s built into people to compete, whether it’s for money, mates or glory. Parents may wish to work themselves to the bone to support their children, but nobody wants to work in order to support some lazy son of a gun who doesn’t feel like getting out of bed. “From each ...
