| CHANNEL SURFING Nathan's brand of humor right down Oscar's Lane Speaking of the Academy Awards, here's who could play some of our town's stars. By LAURA NACHMAN Another Academy Awards is in the books and here's to putting Whoopi
Goldberg out to pasture. With the host too many times putting the
"Whoops" in Whoopi, here's a vote for Nathan Lane to host The
Academy Awards next year.
Lane had as many funny lines in his two minutes as a presenter as
Goldberg did the entire show. Lane, who recently ended his starring
stint in "The Producers" on Broadway, has hosting experience,
as he hosted The Tony Awards. OK, so nobody watches The Tony Awards, but
he would be great.
Speaking of the Academy Awards, here's who could play some of our
town's stars:
Dawn Stensland Paul Moriarty Cecily Tynan Steve Levy "Young" Dave Roberts Monique Braxton Dorothy Krysiuk Larry Kane Glenn "Hurricane" Schwartz Matt Yallof Jim Gardner Sue Serio Larry Mendte Lou Tilley Marge Pala Dave Schratweiser (w/goatee) Arthur Fennell Connie Colla Scott Hanson Lisa Thomas-Laury Carol Erickson Ukee Washington Don Polec Steve MacLaughlin THREE MEN AND A TRACEY
Three candidates running for Governor of Pennsylvania - Edward G.
Rendell, Robert P. Casey, Jr., and Mike Fisher - will be featured on
"Issues PA: Meet the Candidates" Thursday at 8 p.m. on WHYY-TV,
hosted by Tracey Matisak. Matisak's old co-worker, former WTXF-TV news
director, John Mussoni is working as a producer for the show.
KYW OR THE GAME SHOW NETWORK?
KYW-3 will be getting a lifeline from the daytime version of
"Who Wants to be a Millionaire?" in the fall. The faltering
prime time version is waiting for a renewal from ABC. KYW-3 already airs
the daytime version of "The Weakest Link" with George Gray.
RADIO RANTS
WPHT 1210-AM finally enters the computer age, as it launches its
first web site - HTTP://www.thebigtalker.com
- this week. Why was Bruce Springsteen's 1993 hit "Streets
of Philadelphia" played on WPTP 96.5-FM "The Station of the
'80's" recently? A picture of the KYW 1060-AM microphone made it to
a recent issue of "People" magazine. It's seen in a picture of
Michael J. Fox and Muhamm THE UNSINKABLE WEATHER ANCHOR
I never thought I'd say this, but I was wishing for Robyn Stevens on
the CN8 news the other night when "The Weather Man Who Won't Go
Away," Craig Weber, appeared subbing for her. Weber can add CN8 to
his resume, which includes NJN, WPHL and KYW.
