Unknown comic
But there’s no bag over his head: Comedy Central on Monday announced who will take over “The Daily Show” after Jon Stewart retires sometime next year.
In a surprise move, the job went to Who? Never Heard of Him, also known as South African comic Trevor Noah.
Proverbs and fables: Does an apple a day keep the doctor away? Not really, say researchers who found that daily apple eaters had just as many doctor visits as folks who shun the fruit.
That proverb may have been debunked, but no amount of empirical data can shake The Buzz’s faith in our most cherished rhyming rule of thumb: Beer before liquor, never been sicker.
Hangover cure: Egg McMuffin fans who can’t get to their local McDonald’s before 10:30 a.m. have always been out of luck. But now the fast-food giant says it is testing all-day breakfast in the San Diego area.
If this goes nationwide, it’ll be excellent news for people who flout the beer-before-liquor rule and find themselves in need of a bacon, egg and cheese biscuit around midnight, really bad.
