When I was in New York, I got to see Joan Rivers do an hour of material, and it blew my mind. I don't remember how old she was at the time, but she just had this edgy hour that had so much funny stuff in it, and she was so fearless. If you only watch her on the red carpet, you don't get a sense of what a legendary standup comedian she is.

Ron Gardenhire

Young Scott Baker out there facing a lineup that can just eat you alive. But he had enough deception. He can add and subtract very well.

From the market's perspective, you feel like you're in a different world already. The first quarter looks very distant, indeed.

John Marshall

We're going to talk to the voters about the issues Colorado cares about.

What's not here are those shows on the WB, like 'The Gilmore Girls,' which the TV Critics Association of America tells us is the best show on television, ... Why didn't it get any Emmy nominations?
