Hi all,

I find Amy Schumer to be one of the more interesting comedians working
right now, and her show is quite good as satire.  She probably isn't ready
for the Mark Twain Prize, but Hal is right, ratings are central to that
enterprise.  And wouldn't have Sam Clemens (who was real) been very
interested in the ratings of enterprises related to Mark Twain (who wasn't
real)?

Speaking of which, the Mark Twain Prize TV Extravaganza for this year airs
tomorrow.  I don't remember any discussion of Eddie Murphy being awarded
the prize, but I am intrigued to watch.

Best,

Tracy
