Puppet Theatre

Did anyone catch the ignominious debut of the new MSNBC freakshow called “Week-ends With Maury and Connie” today?

I could be wrong, but I think they might be trying to do a sort of grandparents version of The Daily Show. It could also be a tribute to early television pioneer Dave Garroway and his chimp, J. Fred Muggs (Maury is playing the part of the chimp.)

I honestly don’t know what to make of it. I’m pretty sure that Maury is working with Michael Jackson’s plastic surgeon, though. I never saw the resemblance between him and Lena Horn before.
