Lakenheath Old Boys

We are all former students at Lakenheath High School and other public schools in East Anglia. We were in school in the 70s and 80s and drank deeply from the well of British culture of those decades - the pints, the telly, and of course the footie!

The Nikki and Sara Show

It's been a long time since I watched MTV and even longer since I was excited about the news about a new MTV show. No - the suits at MTV haven't decided to return to the 80s policy of playing videos, sadly. However, this fall they'll start airing what promises to be a smart "Daily Show" style comedy and discussion magazine about music news featuring two NYC based comics Nikki Glaser and Sara Schaefer. I first came across Glaser and Schaefer on their "You Had to Be There" podcast; indeed, this show is part of a trend of turning pods into telly (e.g., "This American Life," "Comedy Bang Bang" and Marc Maron's upcoming show on IFC). "The Nikki and Sara" is scheduled to air once a week at 11pm and might give Jon Stewart a much-needed kick up the arse. No schedule yet as to the premiere date but stay tuned....
