Just one day after ending "The Late Show" on CBS, Stephen Colbert returned to TV — to host a public access show with rocker Jack White in Monroe, Michigan.
Appearances by Jeff Daniels, Eminem and Steve Buscemi.
We are saddened and heartbroken to share the news of the passing of Kyle Busch, a two-time Cup champion and one of our sport's greatest and fiercest drivers. He was 41 years old.
We extend our deepest condolences to the Busch family, Richard Childress Racing and the entire motorsports community.

These people are what CNN was, what Ted Turner built. You never knew their politics. They just did the news. They didn’t analyze the hell out of it. They just gave the news. The only opinion was given on Crossfire at 7:30.
CNN was, I said was, incredible. When news broke, everyone in this country turned to CNN. I certainly did.
Ted Turner created that. When it became corporate, things changed. Now they can’t do any story without having three people on to give an opinion about it. Just give the news, like Ted wanted all along.

Thinking about the time Ted Turner fired the manager of the Atlanta Braves and appointed himself as the replacement to try to figure out why the team was so bad and break a 16-game losing streak.
He managed for one game in 1977 before the National League told him he couldn’t do that.
"They must have put that rule in yesterday,” he told a reporter. “If I'm smart enough to save $11 million to buy the team, I ought to be smart enough to manage it."
Know this about Ted Turner...
If not for him:
-The Braves leave Atlanta.
-The Hawks leave Atlanta.
-No TBS.
-No CNN.
-Atlanta loses its "international" status and probably loses the Olympics.
-Coke probably relocates.
-WCW Wrestling never comes to fruition.

Costco has a 10-pound chocolate bunny for sale ahead of Easter. The sweet treat has a price tag of $112 online, but some customers have reported prices closer to $140 in stores. Before you can eat the chocolate bunny, you may need some tools handy like a hammer, mallet or rolling pin in order to break off a piece.
