And it brings in the ratings. Wouldn't be surprised to see something similar next year.Shaunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01208565711604913290noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7561631984395061740.post-24073532882836174012011-01-18T15:04:43.278-05:002011-01-18T15:04:43.278-05:00Sightings, I think it is dangerous to take jabs at...Sightings, I think it is dangerous to take jabs at people with inflated egos.

How he got away with all his insults is kind of puzzling, except I guess it was obviously a schtick, and he always insulted himself as well as everyone else. And ... he was funny! Whereas Ricky Gervais has more of an edge, like he really means it. Maybe it's a sign of the times? We're less jokey now; and a lot edgier.<br /><br />Btw, they just don't make 'em like Johnny Carson anymore, do they.Tomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08611148987085476580noreply@blogger.com
