The September 20 issue of The New York Times Magazine
featured a story about Ricky Jay and his new Television project. Still unnamed the
half-hour live variety show will feature Ricky and a cast of actors who will improvise a
show based on the characters from his book "Learned Pigs and Fireproof Women"
and his magazine "Jay's Journal of Anomalies." A terrific idea -- too bad the
story (with photo) was part of a parody of what TV would be like if there were no ratings
and shows were produced to break boundaries and create good television.(10/16)
Penn and Teller are taping several more episodes of
"Sin City Spectacular" on Oct. 16-19 at the Las Vegas Hilton. Tickets should be
