Over the weekend a friend graciously gave me a quick studio tour of MSNBC. I saw both Keith Olbermann and Chris Matthews on set, about to broadcast something or other. Two words: Pancake makeup. One more word: Spackled.
Also witnessed: a bulldog pushed around in a baby carriage in Bryant Park, a couple with matching nose jobs, and an old episode of the Jon Stewart Show (thank you, Paley Center for Media - you are the BEST). Some people shouldn't monologue. Nor should some people wear a green screen suit upon which endless photos and films are projected and then giggle about it for way too long. The gag was good for 60 seconds, max. I love me some Jon Stewart but thank god his shtick has improved.
His show was selected because Studs is apparently not in the Paley catalogue. Bummer.
At the Madison Square Park Shake Shack, I witnessed Hot Dog! The Delectable Musical. Okay, so it was witnessed in my mouth: a Shack-ago dog lovingly dressed in a frock of Rick's Picks relish, mustard, and pure rapture. That's right, rapture.
