...afford the finest hair gels and dentrifices: the successful host is wise enough to be the fool. There are exceptions, like the beneficent and vengeful god Oprah, but America tends to like its TV hosts risible: fussy Alex Trebek, funny-haired Donald Trump, screwball Kelly Ripa. "Being fallible works to my advantage," says Ricki Lake, who has gone from the queen of train-wreck talk to the cheerfully awkward M.C. of CBS's Gameshow Marathon...
Saturday Night Live used to be known as a boys' club. This season Amy Poehler--who joined Tina Fey on "Weekend Update" and contributed sharp parodies of such celebrities as Michael Jackson, Paula Abdul and Kelly Ripa--helped bring the females to the forefront as never before. She took time out from rehearsing for last weekend's season finale to talk with TIME's Richard Zoglin...

There are yet more star-vehicle sitcoms, for the likes of Whoopi Goldberg, Charlie Sheen and Kelly Ripa. And NBC, under pressure to replace Friends after its final season next year, unveiled Coupling, a risque sitcom about six sexy young men and women in a big city. A Friends copy, you say? Nah. It's a remake of a British sitcom--which was a Friends copy...
