THE BILL AND BOB SHOW:

THE BILL AND BOB SHOW: Tonight's debut of the Bill Clinton/Bob Dole point-counterpoint segment was enough to get me to watch "60 Minutes" all the way through for the first time in three or four years- and for the first time in recent memory, an actual real-life event was less inspired than its own "Saturday Night Live" parody. While the real-life Clinton-Dole face-off lasted three or four minutes and was lacking in anything important or memorable, the SNL version featured a cameo by Dan Aykroyd as Dole, brought to New York and the show just to deliver the utterly perfect line, "Bill, you ignorant slut."
SNL was lackluster otherwise, except for a touching tribute to Mr. Rogers in which Horatio Sanz sang "You Are Special," clad in a Rogers-like sweater, complete with the "Land of Make-Believe" trolley in the background.
