- Society & Culture
One of the great sketch comedians of all time joins the Muppets this week and doesn't quite live up to his reputation. We discuss Korman's role on the Carol Burnett Show, the history of comics not hogging the laugh lines, cracking up on live TV and what it means to be "halfway down the stairs". Also, the return of cocktail parties hosted by 95-year-olds.
Next Week: Lena Horn
