Almanac. Remembering Garry Moore. Nov. 28, 1993, Gary Moore died. Launched Carol Burnett's career. I've Got a Secret. The perfect tv houseguest. Be kind to each other.
Andy Borowitz was featured in the first in a new series "wit and wisdom." Now, does a little bit of standup and what he wants to do. The author of the Borowitz Report. Karzai traded to Minnesota Vikings. Writes for New Yorker. David Remick is editor: if anything absurd happens, Andy Borowitz will hit it on the head. Shaker Heights High School. I was popular within the group of unpopular kids. Was president of Harvard Lampoon; graduated in 1980 and went to Hollywood. Writing for Carroll O'Connor, who had #1 parking spot. "THe Facts of Life." Andy Borowitz was tapped by NBC to turn Will Smith into a star. Pleasantville with Reese Witherspoon. In 1995, Borowitz quit Hollywood. The "hedonic treadmill." Enormously successful but not terribly happy. Worst fear in Hollywood: becoming a forgotten purpose. Gutsy. "Well thank you Harry."
Peter Greenburg did a piece on volunteer fire fighters. 3/4 of firefighters are volunteers. Emmitsburg, MD is home of the national fire academy. Steven (Peanut) Kasur (St. Anne, Ws) was honored. A dumpster fire killed Kasur. 800 of 870 fire departments in Wisconsin are volunteers. $37 billion is saved per year by having volunteers. Hudson, NY museum of fire fighting. Peter Stuyvesant. "It's part of our culture." Andy Siegel responded to a call for his son, who died on the scene.
Holiday movies. Get a gander at the Oscar bait. Colin Firth playing George VI. Timing isn't my strong suit. Give the monarch an emotional enema. Second, "The Fighter." They could be contenders. Natalie Portman in Backswan. Give you a drugged experience. Line between hypnotic and stupefing is thin. Re-make of True Grit. Blow some new holes in the Western genre.
Katie Couric talks with Colin Firth of The King's Speech (George VI; Prince Albert). King Edward the 8th abdicated. A debilitating stammer. The courage with which he deals with the struggle. Lionel Loag (Jeffrey Rush) is the speech therapist. Of prior doctors: They are idiots; They've all been knighted.
Fast Draw: Buying extended warranties. The only thing they can guarantee you is a profit for someone else. That bet is a longshot. Tod Marks of Consumer Reports: it doesn't make economic sense to buy an extended warranty.
Next was Bill Whitaker's Sunday Profile on Lionel Ritchie. Mention of "Just Go." Akob. Golden Globe, Oscar, and five Grammies. Ritchie was at Tuskegee, planning to be an accountant. Closing 1984 Olympic Games in Los Angeles. He went home to care for his ailing father, who died in 1990. Ritchie remains a huge hit in Europe. Are you Nicole Ritchie's dad? Famous: it consumes you. I'm slowing it down and enjoying the ride. Of course, the lines I'm easy like Sunday morning.
Ben Stein on Charlie Rangel. Rangel's misdeeds seem like trivial matters. He is a genuine American hero, fighting his way out in Korea, where he got a bronze star with V for valor. Erudition and fairness. Truly great man laid low by trivial matters. "To me, he is still a hero."
Pulse. Most thankful for family 49%.
Rita Braver on "a secret shared." Ted Gup's mother gave him a suitcase in 2008. Letters from Dec. 1933. Addressed to B. Virdot. A portal on the great depression as it affected Canton, Ohio. People were being laid off left and right. Nothing to catch these people as they fell. An ad in the Canton newspaper solicited letters. B. Virdot was an invention, an amalgamation of the names: Barbara, Virginia, and Dorothy. Ted Gup started tracking down the descendants of the letter writers. Only one letter writer (now 91) is still alive, and was 14 when she wrote. Gup's grandfather (Sam Stone) was born in Romania, arriving in US in 1902, but told everyone he was born in Pittsburgh. He went into clothing business. In Canton in 2010, an offer of $100 for folks in need in the spirit of B. Virdot.
Moment of nature. Montana's Flathead Valley, with ["very thankful"] wild turkeys.
