TV Junkie: All New Episodes on NBC; Kiefer on "Charlie Rose"; Madonna on Letterman

A Word or 42:
There's nothing funnier than watching pundits try to fill in the 7 minutes after a Presidential speech ends and before regular programming resumes. Great delivery on the speech though, it reminded me of the animatronic Lincoln I saw at Disneyland in 1977.
