And in 1980, at 9 years old, after the U.S. defeated the Soviet Union, I chose hockey. Not so much to be patriotic but because I saw it as a personality opportunity.

Heeere's to a legendary master of late-night talk TV who had an unforgettable impact on people's lives...
...greatest act of criminality was stealing the show. When Deadwood debuted last year, HBO did not promote Swearengen as the lead. The cast is an ensemble, and since when is the bad guy the star of a western?
