...University and then did improv work with Chicago's Second City troupe--a pursuit, he says, not unrelated to his childhood addiction to role-playing games like Dungeons & Dragons. He also developed a news habit. As a young actor, he would stay up until 4 a.m. watching ABC's late-night news after gigs. All that went into the smarmy, self-satisfied correspondent he created for The Daily Show, which he joined...
...James Stewart Polshek: Ed Sullivan Theater Renovation If you're paying one person $42 million to host America's best late-night talk show, why skimp on the studio?

I have never had a relationship with Bill Clinton outside of a friendship and a professional relationship.'' Meanwhile, the woman who allegedly had the 94-minute, late-night conversation with Clinton came forward anonymously last week to tell the New York Daily News that ''there was no sex involved'' in their relationship. Clinton had been calling, she insisted, to ''help her through a personal crisis.'' Other doubts about the President's accusers sprang up. Both troopers acknowledged that...
