...this is why the man can afford the finest hair gels and dentrifices: the successful host is wise enough to be the fool. There are exceptions, like the beneficent and vengeful god Oprah, but America tends to like its TV hosts risible: fussy Alex Trebek, funny-haired Donald Trump, screwball Kelly Ripa. "Being fallible works to my advantage," says Ricki Lake, who has gone from the queen of train-wreck talk to the cheerfully awkward M.C. of CBS's Gameshow Marathon...

...onstage? Because of her children. "Believe me, these kids would love nothing more than for me to be gone every night and all weekend. It would be their dream come true! Not going to happen." So she does theater only in summer. Her three older kids with husband sculptor Donald Gummer, however, are in their 20s and already making their own forays into show biz. Son Henry will appear in Lying with Chloe Sevigny, and daughter Mamie is in a film with Richard Gere. Once Louisa, now 14, is in college, Streep can take to the stage with a vengeance...
