News & Notes
I’ve got bad allergies this week or the beginnings of a nasty cold. Short picks today as a result, sorry about that. If I were paid for this gig, I’d be taking a sick day, so I’m not sure what I’m doing posting at all, but here I am anyway.
Daytime
“First TV Interview: Barbara Walters’ New Revelations” on Oprah (syndicated, check your local listings). I’m thinking it’s not Barbara’s first TV interview, so perhaps they mean first since her book came out?
