And from 12:30 on, it's sketch-o-rama. Always a good time....Regis Philbin just signed a $20 million extension on his "Who Wants to Be a Millionaire" contract. What? Is it me, or could we place a baboon in that chair and people would still watch?...Charlize Theron is South African for "Bad News"...Junior Parents Weekend will flood the Square with tourists...
