Stephen A. Smith and MTG?
Hey, Stephen A. Smith, tough luck, cross off Ted Koppel's abc from your list of possible late night platforms for launching a candidacy. Hang in there, Colbert has six months to go. You might have to bring the bow-tie boys to drag him out of the seat, though.
Ditto for MTG camped out in the Green[e] Room waiting for the call onstage to share her grievances to the nation. Again. And again. Rumour is that the 60 Minutes producers couldn't take any more of her and had a page dump her at the Sullivan. Then again, you and her might hit it off. Both in your fifties, she's on the rebound and you're on the unbound.

Is MTG,Mary Tyler Greene? You could have an entirely new show,with the same cast--except for MTM.
Lou Grant:Morning,Mary. Heyyy,you look different...but I just can't place WHY. WHY?
Mary Tyler Greene:Better--or worse,Lou?(smiling)
Lou:Before I answer that,you called me "Lou"--I need a drink.
(Staggers to his office,closes the door quietly)
Murray:You DO look different than yesterday,Mare. And you keep telling me about various "death threats" you've received in the last month.
Mary Tyler Greene:That's right,Murray. Say,what do you think about the Israeli military action in Gaza?
Murray:Huh? We've never talked foreign...stuff...in all the time I've known you,Mary. Why now?
Mary Tyler Greene:Well...
(Ted strolls in)
Ted Baxter:Hey guys.Oh.oh,I must have put on too much aftershave again this morning--I'm hallucinating that Mary isn't Mary anymore. And by the way everyone,there are 10 men wearing masks and carrying machine guns just outside the door.
Mary Tyler Greene:That's my security team. I've had death threats,Ted.
Ted:(Gulp)I'll be in the studio until airtime.
GRA:I didn't SAY it'd be as funny.

In the closing credits on this one, the kitty cat barfs.
And Bob Newhart goes to CBS execs to complain about the lousy lead-in sending his ratings into the toilet.
It could be worse--MTG taking Suzanne Pleshette'e role on "The Bob Newhart Show".
(Door opens,Bob's coming home from work)
MTG:Hi,Bob(MTG puckers up)
Bob Hartley:Uhhh...no...no thanks,honey. I have a cold...or you have a cold--SOMEONE has a cold! No kisses tonight--sorry--just to be safe.
MTG:That's all right,Bob. Dinner will be ready shortly. I have my security team cooking the food tonight and testing it for poison.
Bob:Be-be-because of "death threats."
MTG:That's right,Bob.
(Door opens again--Howard/Bill Daily walks in)
Howard:Hi,Bob,hi MTG!
(Guns are fired at Howard by MTG's security team as he dives to the floor)
Bob:He...he's all right guys--he's just a NEIGHBOR--stop shooting.
Howard:Wow--what a welcome--a ten gun salute!
Bob:All-all I can say is,this must be another dream sequence gone wr-wr-ong.
END
