• If you noticed, we had a glitch in the news search (found on your left sidebar there, towards the top) that we’re happy to report has now been repaired.

News Search will scan each and every story ever posted by News Askew from the day it started. Try putting in some terms and see what you get back. We gotta say, it’s pretty nifty. It’s a great way to see if that questionable scoop has already been mentioned, catch up on your View Askew history, or even just randomly read some blasts from the past.

We’re also finding it amusing to see the top search terms, which will be kept on weekly, monthly, and even yearly lists, viewable with every search.

Sorry for the downtime. Enjoy. We’re putting together a few stories for you later today, so please stop back again real soon!

• The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson will feature our beloved JASON LEE on Monday’s late night program. Yes, THIS Monday. We assume he’ll be there to talk up the new sitcom for the Fall, but with Lee, you never know — We expect some View Askew chit-chat might even happen.

So, ya wanna go? OCATV is offering FREE tickets to the taping! Looks like it’s happening at 3:30 on Monday, June 13th. The program tapes in CBS Television City right in Hollywood. Easy to find, right on Beverly. Let’s fill that audience up with Lee fans! Were we west-coasters, it’d certianly be worth calling off work to attend. Half day, anyone? If you’re going, and wanna meet up with some fellow fans, use the TalkBack — We’re sure you can put a nice crew together. Send us some early photos and reports, too. Enjoy.
