The variety format is sadly outdated in our fast times - our Obama era is going to require more Brave New World type revues. We live in a very cynical society my friends. Also Rosie with her left wing madness is not the kind of person suited to host a variety show - that was for the days when there was still some innocence left like Donny & Marie, The Lawrence Welk Show...Even Carol Burnett (who was probably a liberal)had a pretty innocent show. But we live in an era where children are sexualized at an outrageously young age and the what pased for pornography in the 1970s is common on shows like Wil & Grace or Friends.
Jane Krakowski, a courtesan like actress that uses her body and looks more than she uses her acting ability is not the right choice for a “variety” show during prime time.
Who is Jane Krakowski anyway?
