As some of you may or may not know, this time next Saturday I'll be headed to New York for a one-week stay there. Since I've never been more than 500 miles away from home, being 3,000 miles away will be a different experience. So I'll be playing the role of tourist, wearing shorts and a shirt, taking pictures of every big thing (the buildings, the celebrities) to all little ones (the rats). One of the things I was looking forward to was the talk shows. As evidenced by the Letterman guest list on the left panel, that was a good place to start.

But also to be noted was the fact that they'll be in reruns that week. So that's no good.

Okay, how about Conan? He's an entertaining guy. No, he'll be in reruns too.

The Daily Show. Funniest politico talk in the business. Success! He's doing shows that week. Call up and ask for tickets. "Yeah, first available tickets we have are for October 27." Click.

Even Regis takes two weeks off before Labor Day.

So I'll be taking pictures in front of marquees while waving like an idiot on the Today show.
