It seems the never-ending feud between Keith Olbermann and Bill O'Reilly has become a kangaroo boxing match. The worst thing you can do is get in the middle of it.
That's exactly what the parent owners of Fox News and MSNBC tried to do when they arranged a "cease-fire" between them and their top-tier shows' "lieutenants."
The cease-fire, however, didn't last long. It's another case of the ol'
Rufus T. Firefly conundrum for peace. Either side might be willing to do whatever it takes to end this war, but they've already paid two months' rent on the battlefield.

Somebody call the Whoopsie patrol, because Charlie Rose just made a big boo-boo on PBS' clean, new carpet.
The PBS talk show host accidentally
declared the death of filmmaker George Butler on his show as part of a 2008 retrospective.
The George Butler in question was actually jazz musician George Butler, the first man to sign Wynton Marsalis to a record deal. The filmmaker George Butler made the documentary
Pumping Iron that helped bring Arnold Schwarzenegger to the world's eye, the silver screen and, eventually, to the California Governor's office. He may not be alive after I made that little factoid known, depending on how well our traffic is doing.

It would seem that sooner or later everyone in show business will get a shot at a talk show. After all, if Rachael Ray can win an Emmy as a talk show host, and a one-time respected anchorman like Maury Povich can have 20 years of syndicated talk success, why not give every Tom, Dick, and Megan Mullally a chance.
NBC reportedly thinks Piers Morgan could be the next big thing in talk. The bitter Brit, a personality as caustic as Simon Cowell, was the winner of
The Celebrity Apprentice and is the nastiest judge on
America's Got Talent. Morgan has a
two-year deal with ITV and is on the verge of inking a similar contract with NBC. The idea is that he could be the next David Frost.

I don't know how long this has been going on, but
Mark Evanier points out that episodes of
The Charlie Rose Show are now available for free on Google Video. The episodes had been available for some time, but at a cost. You can check out the episodes
here. Skimming through the list, I found episodes with Donald Rumsfeld and Noam Chomsky, so there's something for both heartless war-loving conservatives and elitist liberal hippie bastards. Yeah, I know, what many of you are thinking: what about handicapped Whig Party members? Am I so bent on using this blog to tout my political views I won't even give them equal time? You're damn right. Screw those limping, Zachary Taylor-lovin' bastards.

Like everyone else and their mother-in-law's dog, we here at TV Squad love ourselves some YouTube. Whether you're a bored teenager illegally uploading the latest episode of Robot Chicken, a network executive using the site to promote the pilot for a new series, an enterprising animator who wants to use the site to introduce their latest creation to the public, or one of a plethora of bored jackasses who like to stand in front of a camera and act like a buffoon, YouTube really has something for everybody. Or should that be "bored buffoons who act like jackasses?" Well, anyway, it's a pretty kick ass site, and if you clicky-click here you can see an interview Charlie Rose did with the site's founders, Chad Hurley and Steven Chen. It's the last segment, so you'll have to skip ahead. Like all of Rose's interviews, it's quite informative. Enjoy.
