the rix mix

Craig Ferguson just won a deserved Peabody Award for his interview with Bishop Tutu last year. Last week he had a couple of good guests on one night, Robin Williams & professor of ethics. Most shows now, If I'm watching at all, I turn him off during or right after the monologue. No skits, no Rather Late Programme with Prince Charles, rarely a song with puppets. & nobody like Bishop Tutu, or Ellen Johnson Sirleaf the President of Liberia, or Madeline Albright. Once in awhile an author, Lawrence Block or Laura Lippman, interviews he throws away anyway. Maybe Craig's getting tired of the grind.
