It dawns on me this morning as I post another one of these columns that it might be glaringly obvious to potential readers that I have a little too much time on my hands...

Case in point - last night I happened to catch the debut of "America's Got Talent". OK, I didn't so much as happen to catch it, I cleared my entire schedule to ensure I wouldn't miss a minute of it...

The point is, I'm glad I did, because throughout the talent carnage that was unfolding on the television screen for two hours, there was indeed the occasional performer or two that lived up to the show's title.

One in particular was a young black stand-up comic, going by the name of Sid The Kid. Now, I've written in prior postings that I regularly watch Last Comic Standing, and that this year so far for that show, the talent pool was a little bit like the Dead Sea. At low tide.

Well, Sid The Kid on this new talent search program last night knocked the socks off of anyone so far on Standing Comics Last. Some of her stuff was a bit inappropriate for any age group,but she apparently writes her own material!! She's eight years old!! If I was on that other show, I'd check to make sure I still had my day job at Denny's to fall back on...this kid Sid is going places!

So yes, maybe I do have a little bit too much time on my hands, and yes, maybe I do fill a little more up with TV than I should, but moments like this make it all worthwhile. I think...

Chow for now!!
