Both Smiley and Colbert have their own late-night TV shows, but “The Tavis Smiley Show,” which airs on PBS (WGBH/Channels 2 and 44 locally), bears little resemblance to Comedy Central’s “The Colbert Report.” Smiley specializes in conducting wide-ranging interviews with interesting people—both famous and not so famous—while Colbert specializes in skewering politicians and the right-wing pundits upon whom his character is based. It’s no wonder that Colbert drew a larger college crowd...

Will that dodge work for other theological questions?

SIMPLY MING PBS, CHECK LOCAL LISTINGS "Fusion" food often meansone condescending thing: Northern European cuisine fuses with bits of another, subordinated culture. Ming Tsai gives all world foods equal footing and pairs them unexpectedly. In the first show of the new season, Asia meets Mexico with a soy- and sesame-laced mole sauce; later he creates a Mediterranean-Chinese tapenade. Each episode uses one recipe--for a rub, sauce, paste and so forth--as the base of several dishes, a starting point from which the home cook can improvise. Competent and low-key in an era of high-decibel...
