Did anyone catch this little stint of his at the end of his program last night? I vowed to watch him a lot more often from now on after this.
COOPER: Time now for the buzz. We asked you, would you let your child stay at Neverland Ranch? Here's what you said, 15 percent said yes, 85 percent voted no. Not a scientific poll, just your buzz.
Tonight, taking Michael Jackson coverage to "The Nth Degree." Today's announcement of charges against one of the most successful, famous and infamous entertainers in the world could affect TV news even more than the O.J. Simpson trial did. The coverage and journalistic resources involved will be simply staggering. Already producers across the nation are clearing their slates. Network bookers are desperately seeking anyone who ever knew Michael Jackson, begging Uri Geller and Bubbles the Chimp to please call them back.
So before it's too late, we wanted to take just a quick moment to say goodbye to some of the stories that, as far as the media are concerned, have breathed their last. So, so long coverage of lingering questions about regulatory oversight of the nation's securities industries. We'll miss you. Goodbye, in-depth scrutiny of the future of Medicare. Farewell debate over the new military and its role in a changing world. We hardly knew you.
This is for you, and all the other homies we lost today. We'll be with you again some day, on the other side.
That wraps up our program tonight. Coming up next, "PAULA ZAHN NOW."
