We were trying to find a quote about variety to introduce this week's talk show schedule. Aside from all the boring "Variety is the spice blah, blah, blah" ones we came up empty handed.
Anyway, the point we were attempting to make is you couldn't come up with a wider variety of music and comedy than this week's roster if you tried.
Where else could you catch Kid Rock and Debbie Reynolds on the same day? Or how about Neil Young and the performing cats of the Popovich Comedy Pet Theatre? Well maybe Vegas, but this is a lot cheaper.
