...invite Sumner Redstone and Mel Karmazin to the same party. So when the twin egos of media giant Viacom unexpectedly shared the stage during a dinner for investors last Thursday, they generated quite a buzz. Some who have bet heavily on the success of Viacom--whose properties include CBS, MTV and Paramount studios--took heart that the feuding titans made a public show of getting along. "Their message was simple," Bear Stearns stock analyst Raymond Katz wrote in a report on Friday. "Their partnership, built on a mutuality of self-interest and a similar business philosophy, is functioning well." Katz...

He also has won fans on Wall Street by boosting earnings at CBS and earlier at Infinity Broadcasting. "If Mel leaves, the shares will take a hit," says stock analyst Peter Mirsky of SG Cowen.

That's the show the network will air directly following the game, meaning Malcolm and his family will benefit from the same flood of extra viewers that helped CBS' "Survivor II: The Australian Outback" become the most popular entertainment program of 2001. With the stakes so high, "Malcolm" features cameo appearances from Heidi Klum, Magic Johnson and extra-special guest Susan Sarandon, who partakes in a mud-wrestling match...
...most of the jokes were at the expense of others, like Dick Cheney, or the pretzel itself. "The reality is, going hard at Bush now wouldn't go over very well," says David Javerbaum, a writer for Comedy Central's Daily Show with Jon Stewart. Craig Kilborn, star of CBS's Late Late Show, deadpanned that the Secret Service wrestled the pretzel to the ground, but he continues to bar jokes at Bush's expense.
