>>That's unfortunate. You should try to pick up the 'Prairie Home Companion' radio show on the web. And it's 'Keillor'. The whole show is excellent, but his monologue toward the end of every show (news from Lake Wobegon) is absolutely wonderful. For each monologue, he writes down a brief outline for himself, but then he pretty much ad-libs the whole thing based on that outline.

>Thanks for the ref, Alan. I'll see if I have time to download some material. I don't get a lot of time to even watch TV nowadays, however, let alone looking up and listening to American TV shows on the Web. I wonder if the humour would pass over me, as so many American "host" shows do, e.g. Letterman et al.

It's a radio show, not TV. As far as the humour is concerned, I doubt you'll have any trouble with it. And it is a funny show. I think you'd like the music too. I ranges from blues to dixieland to skiffle. He often has groups on from Ireland and Scotland.
