My TiVo recorded four episodes of “Great Blunders in History” off the History Channel today. I’m not sure if this was an April Fool’s gag or not. This, however, is an excellent April Fool’s gag.

I make an appearance in the opening of the show tomorrow (the little thing after the opening credits and before the monologue). If I look like I have no idea what’s going on, it’s because I didn’t. I got back from a run about five minutes before showtime and they were like, “Hey, we need ...
