PEOPLE, Page 61Shaggy Today
By MICHAEL QUINN/Reported by Wendy Cole
O.K., so Today is the oldest daily program on network
television, but did this justify a 40th-year fete that seemed
to run that long? NBC's garrulous celebration culminated last
week with a look back to those halcyon days when no one had ever
heard of something called Good Morning America. Endless archival
footage, an anniversary show and a prime-time special proved
that there are duller things than a PBS pledge drive. But amid
the pitiless plugola came some refreshing lunacy: Bill Cosby in
the fright wig and free-form facial hair of critic Gene Shalit.
This made up for the cowboy who compared his horses to the Today
show hosts. A little.
