   I like Drew's suggestions of Groucho Marx and musical guest Jimi   
   Hendrix, but I would also put on Marilyn Monroe, plus "In the Year 2000"   
   with Albert Einstein, and have the middle comedy bit be Philo T.   
   Farnsworth apologizing for the NBC prime-time lineup.  (Well, he was   
   enough of a celebrity to have been on "I've Got a Secret" circa 1958.)

   Typical is a Stouffer's brand frozen dinner.  I would prefer it was   
   something home-cooked by a personal chef.
