...biggest news of the presentation, though, may have been the increased tightening of Mark Burnett's grip on your remote control. Yesterday, Burnett was at NBC, basking in the afterglow of his hit "The Apprentice" and the excitement over his upcoming boxing show, "The Contender."

Where that kind of talent comes from is always a bit of a mystery, but I think his insight into our culture has to do with coming from Britain.
