One Wild and Crazy Year

Fortunately, even in the face of uninspiring hosts, the cast was really on its game after the second-season departure of Chevy Chase. The induction of [Bill Murray] was especially helpful. Murray honed his glib-smarmy showbiz-guy persona into comedy gold, whether doing movie reviews for Weekend Update ("I'm sorry, but that's the way I feel.

If his first self-released album and Radiohead's recent experiment are any indication, dedicated fans are still willing to buy music from established bands, regardless of the fact that they could get a digital copy for free. It seems like an eternity since actor [Tom Cruise] jumped on Oprah's couch to profess his love f...

ASIMO's engineers programmed the robot to mimic Charles Burke, the Detroit Symphony's education director, as he conducted the piece in front of a pianist about six months ago. But it can't respond to the musicians.

Webisodes Thrive On Pacing

"You have to cut out all the fluff and just get to the three beats that are the essence of that episode," said [Chris Hampel]. "We're always paying mind to the question: What's the audience going to come back for the next day?"
