Shatner Is Back, With Palin Tweets (So Are The Beats)

With TunedIn's JP away, Scherer will play.
Thanks for filling the TV blog void.

This is waaaaaaaay more fun than some fossil yapping about Sarah Palin.

Thanks, Michael for clips, especially Steve Allen. Do you often win the TIME office trivial pursuit games? (try the drinking version - if wrong answer drink a beer or shot in one chug) Steve was a great pianist and busy composer, definitely wrote more than just "This Could Be the Start of Something Big". Imagine Steve Allen performing with Sarah Palin in her pageant talent....

The great late night host, besides Johnny, was Jack Paar, who took down the McCarthyist scumbag Walter Winchell.

Allen, on the other hand, is probably best remembered for having Elvis Presley sing "Hound Dog"--to a real hound dog. All the class in that encounter was on Presley's side, to go along with such a trite joke premised on such a visceral hatred of rock n roll.

When Sarah hits the talk show circuit, she may need to be careful NOT to upstage the celebrity / starlet hosts, such as in this Jack Benny / Gisele MacKenzie violin classic (this fake feud was strictly an act – these two were friends and colleagues)

Shatner's a cool guy, but Jack Kerouac... oh wow. I could listen to him read the phone book. Eternal love for that guy. Brilliant.
