Pat and I wrote a new Brain Filler - 9 (Very) Short-Lived Celebrity Talk Shows.

I like using this blog to tell you guys about interesting things we stumbled upon while researching. The highlight of this one was a quote from the Wikipedia for Alf’s Hit Talk Show:

On Alf’s desk is a large bowl of snack food (popcorn, peanut brittle, or the like) which the guests are invited to eat. Alf himself, being an alien, and a puppet to boot, does not partake.

This was obviously not the one that required ordering Steven Segal’s Marked for Death and Orson Welles’ King Lear. I’ll be very impressed if anyone can speculate what connects those two. Here’s a hint - that list will also include Blade Runner, Under Siege, and The Descent.
