In Richard Belzer's first suspense novel, "I Am Not a Cop!," the hero is Richard Belzer, who plays Detective Sgt. Munch on NBC's "Law and Order: Special Victims Unit," though the show is never directly named. Wait, it gets more confusing. And more fun. He solves a crime while going up against the Russian Mafyia in a topical plot involving Russia's oppressive interest in Ukraine. It may become a movie, in which Richard Belzer plays Richard Belzer - who plays Munch, but solves crime as himself. Sort of. "W

Roasting Matt Lauer and Pictures of Tom Cruise, The Donald and more!
Last Friday, I attended a really interesting event.  Matt Lauer, of the Today Show, was being roasted at the Friars Club.  The Friars Club is a private establishment in New York City, and is especially famous for its risqué celebrity roasts.  When you are chosen by the Friars to be the subject of a roast, it’s really important to grow very thick skin because the jokes can be quite brutal!  I was honored that they asked me to be a roaster along with Bob Saget, Brian Williams, Gilbert Gottfried, Jeff
