...these wonderful features compete for attention against one another--with no one or two taking precedence over the others. There are those squinty little eyes, all baggy from the rigors of the campaign and too many nights up late jamming on "Arsenio." There's that Leno-esque chin, those pinched Bubba cheeks, the little snubbed nose and that tousled mass of gray hair that just seems to cry out for Grecian formula. Just where do you start with Bill Clinton...

Stern and his groupies keep popping up, guerrilla-like, across the media landscape. Appearing with Jay Leno on the Tonight show during Leno's flap with < Arsenio Hall, Stern threw fuel on the flames by trashing Hall (a "moron") as well as former Johnny Carson cronies Doc Severinsen and Ed McMahon ("two of the biggest loads on two feet"). At her press conference last spring, Bill Clinton's alleged ex-girlfriend Gennifer Flowers was taken aback when a Stern reporter asked whether Clinton used a condom. When Today's Katie Couric opened the phone lines during a June appearance...

...hugely successful comedian, Crystal is singularly without attitude -- not as angry as Richard Pryor, nor as frantic as Robin Williams, nor as - political as Jay Leno, not alienated or crude or macho.

Johnson and Wales doesn't have academic powerhouses like Joe Nye and Milton Friedman. Their professors aren't swooped down to Washington every four years to serve as advisers. Yet Richard Lewis, Dennis Miller, Penn and Teller and Jay Leno have all performed on their campus in the last three years. If I remember correctly, it was a major project for the Undergraduate Council to get Stephen Wright to perform here, and they failed miserably with Penn and Teller negotiations...

...talented young comic she discovered two decades ago and guided to glory. Weathering a Sophoclean series of tragedies (her son's death from AIDS in 1983, her husband's death from cancer in 1989), Kushnick became the executive producer of the legendary Tonight show when her protege, Jay Leno, succeeded Johnny Carson in May. Then with an almost willful recklessness, Kushnick reportedly began demanding that stars who wanted to appear with Leno on the Tonight show had to boycott his competitors -- especially Arsenio Hall. The blatant violation of Hollywood's get along-go along culture led to the inevitable: Kushnick...
