As someone who spent years toiling in the socialized backwater of public television he has no idea what he’s in for. Yes, yes, he’s accomplished much in the TV business and all that. But he’s basically disqualified because he has a sense of humor, and that will make him a leper in that omni-serious other-world where facial twitches can be sexist, punctuation marks homophobic, cream in your coffee racist and where nothing is ever, ever, funny except for anti-Bush bumper stickers, Al Franken and Darwin-fish decals.
