   "Best in Show," I think you mean.  It was a mockumentary about dog shows   
   and the people involved with them...   
      
   > 	2.  Best Guest?   
      
   ...directed by Christopher Guest!  See how this all fits together?   
      
   > 	3.  Guest you just, darn it, will pay no attention to?   
      
   Bowman Hastie, who is Tillie's owner.  (I assume he'll be appearing in   
   the same segment as Tillie, and there will then be a third guest.)  Yes,   
   I had to search to find out who Bowman Hastie was.  I had to look up   
   Lisa Edelstein, too, because I don't watch "House."   
      
   > 	4.  Are you there?   
      
   I was, back when NBC was urging me to "be there," but that was 25 years   
   ago.  Perhaps it's time for them to get out of their ratings slump by   
   going back to having a memorable slogan and jingle.   
      
   > 	5.  Who'll be part of a comedy skit?   
      
   Saying "Brian McCann" seems like a safe bet, as always.   
      
   > 	6.  How much of Thursday's show will be spent talking about   
   > having had Martha Stewart on the night before?   
      
   The entire sketch in which Brian McCann plays "Guy in Audience Who   
   Wishes Martha Stewart Were On Tonight's Show, Too."   
      
   > 	7.  Musical guest you're looking forward to?   
      
   Sarah McLachlan.  I like My Morning Jacket and the Brian Setzer   
   Orchestra, too, but Sarah McLachlan is prettier to look at than those   
   particular groups.  I assume she'll be performing a song from her new   
   Christmas album.   
      
   > 	8.  Night you just know nothing exciting will happen?   
      
   Tuesday, because of all the anticipation wrought by Martha Stewart's   
   impending appearance.   
      
   > 	9.  Episode you thought aired, like, months ago?   
      
   The June 21st episode.  Which did, as it turns out, air months ago.  But   
   I don't understand what that has to do with this coming week's shows.   
      
   > 	10.  What the answer to this question will be?   
      
   What the who with the thing and the...what?   
      
   --   
   Jim Ellwanger
