   Hello, and sorry for my absence from this group during the last month or   
   so, during which I made ample use of an old-fashioned abdominal exerciser   
   while listening to ``Angel of the Morning'' by Juice Newton. (Well, not   
   really, but my real life is much more boring: I walk around in a gorilla   
   suit dressed as a nurse.)   
      
   This information on tonight's episode (which has by now been taped) is on   
   nbcumv.com:   
      
   01/03/08 12:37 AM   
   2503 - BOB SAGET, DWAYNE PERKINS, ROBERT GORDON & CHRIS SPEDDING   
      
   Saget everyone knows. Perkins is a comedian who has been on the show a few   
   times previously. Gordon and Spedding, the musical guests, front a   
   roots-rock band.   
      
   No future guests have been posted yet.

   There are reasons to doubt Hammer's prowess in all matters financial, but   
   he could dance a little back in the day. If he limits himself to the   
   artistic and promotional aspects, the site might have a chance of carving   
   out a niche, but it hardly poses a threat to the Google-eyed monster that   
   is YouTube.
