[The Scourge of Yazid]

My own, personal theory involves a nervous breakdown at 'Elaine's', a confrontation at gunpoint and a horrific scene whose denouement came when Alexander fled, in a bid to preserve some semblance of sanity after working with that pretentious, insufferable WASP for the past three years.

If you want the official story, here goes:

Alexander got bored, a little tired of Bachelor hogging the spotlight and found a much better offer courtesy of The 'Great White Way.'

Aside from being an historian and a freelance journalist, Paul Alexander is also a very successful playwright. One of the off-Broadway plays he wrote hit a nerve, became successful and he decided to ditch his longtime co-host.

Does that clarify things a little?

Sorry, no idea what you're talking about with the gun, Elaines, WASP, etc.
