...urgency of a talk-show host. Or guest ("I want everyone to want me"--today on Jerry Springer). He is the first boyfriend (rather than father) figure in the White House since Jack Kennedy.

...show convenes familiar supporting types--the hunk (Dan Cortese), the wisecracking assistant (Kathy Najimy), the black guy (Daryl "Chill" Mitchell) and the is-he-gay? guy (Wallace Langham)--to bring sense and sarcasm to Ronnie's hectic, arid life. A genial dynamo running her undies empire, for which she was the original cover-girl model, she has a slightly spreading figure and a philandering husband (Christopher McDonald) who is, dammit, the man she loves. This week's debut episode, with Ronnie and her husband attempting a reunion, carries weird echoes of the Princess Diana tragedy: famous couple, paparazzi...
