Chronological look at the life and career of Johnny Carson (1925-2005), with commentary from an ex-wife and more than 30 fellow comedians, friends, employees, and biographers. The biography defines why Carson was an enduring star (his cool, his timing, his genuine laugh, his breadth of knowledge) and pursues his motivations and inner self (a loner with a drinking problem, a decent Midwesterner whose mother withheld approval, a quiet person who loved to entertain). The key to understanding him, argues the biography, is his love of magic.

My Own Worst Enemy
director: David Semel actor: 克里斯蒂安·史莱特 / 迈克·奥麦利 …
Henry Spivey (Christian Slater, "Bobby") 是一个效率专家（专门研究通过提高运作效率来提高企业或工业生产率的专家），典型的美国中产阶级，在郊区有一栋房子，和妻子、两个孩子、一条狗及一辆小型货车一起过着单调的生活。
Edward Albright 是一个会讲13种语言的特工，训练有素，不但能以四分钟一英里的速度奔跑，甚至能用牙齿杀人。
Henry和Edward完全是两个不同世界的人，他们只有一个共同点：他们分享同一个身体。当两者之间的界限逐渐模糊，Henry和Edward开始接触他们各自并不熟悉的领域，他们会怎么样？也许，这对两人来说都是致命的。
《My Own Worst Enemy》主要描述的是一个人如何与自己对抗的故事，它还带来一个思考：如果你连自己都无法信任，还能信任谁？

The Last Days of Lehman Brothers

other title: 雷曼兄弟最后的日子 / 리먼 브러더스의 마지막 날들 …
这是 BBC 拍摄的第2部有关2008年金融海啸的剧情片了，上一部Free Fall是纯剧情片，这一部片头字幕称除了部份虚构的对话外，大部份情节是基于公开记录。这部片子所说的是2008年9月12日星期五到14日星期天这3天“雷曼兄弟的最后日子”。主要故事线索是美国财政部长Hank Paulson召集几家美国最大的投资银行CEO密会，要他们在3天内拿出拯救 Lehman Brothers方案，同时Lehman Brothers CEO Dick Fulk 垂死挣扎试图保住银行的过程。 用成名演员(James Cromwell 演 Hank Paulson、Corey Johnson演Dick Fuld、Ben Daniels演John Thain、Alex Jennings演的是Tim Geithner)饰演角色，让这部剧摆脱了“事件重演”(reconstruction)的纪录片形象，而成为兼有法律剧的唇枪舌剑和阴谋片的悬疑和勾心斗角。 然而奇怪的是，Lehman Brothers 最终无法摆脱倒闭命运，是因为英国Barclays银行的最后退出，但在剧中却只是一笔带过，仅由Hank Paulson接听一个电话后向会议室内的众人宣布而已。一部由BBC拍摄的电视剧、却完全没有英国方面的角色和镜头，当时在美联储的 Barclays总裁Bob Diamond也没有出现，让这部电视剧有不完整的感觉。也许是需要BBC星期四播出的纪录片The Love of Money系列中的 The Bank That Bust the World来解释清楚了。
