it is like a condensed version of mtv in its day and the hostess dick clark who is still around. he is the equivalent of the ryan seacrest of his day. actually ryan seacrest is the dick clark of our day. the thing about american bandstand which was interesting was that it featured and integrated dance floor, which is there weren't african-americans and whites dancing together but there were african-american couples dancing on the floor with white couples and were african-american teens, this was a stunning site. and, that they raced home to watch american bandstand as quickly as their white counterparts. i think music illustrates this as well and here is a poem that julian bond wrote. you can see him riffing on hank langston hughes in his opening line but talking about little richard and fats domino, talking about the musicians of the air and talking about the ways in which ray charles is drowning in his own fears and the sorrow of segregation. then i don't mind standing a little longer he concludes and the ways in which pop culture music is both drawing him in to the broader ame

it will be the same cast, but mtv come up with a clever way to adapt the show to individual markets.k at this. >> that's china. now, this is it in jamaica. and -- and nowinally jersey shore afghanistan. and she just -- [ applause ] >> jimmy: she's a tough snooki, that one. i wonder if -- i wonder if people in japan will feel the same way about "jersey shore" that i feel about every japanese television show i've ever seen it's a mixture of horror, wonder, and what the hell is this that i'm watching? of all the different international versions of the show, i think the one i like best, and i've watched them all, is from our neighbors in mexico. >> we're taking you inside the hottest shore casa you ever seen. >> i spend like two hours a day on my abs. check it out. sick. >> where the drama never ends. >> you cannot break up with me. you took my virginity! >> things get very crazy. >> you did sex with my girlfriend. >> you were not looking, i committed a robbery. >> no cool, bro. >> get off me, man! >> no! >> and it is always very sexy. >> are you ready for this? >> si. >> it is all just

when this book made gotten it start is when i into the living room and saw my daughter watching an mtvshow, sorority life. here, viewers got to track the progress of college girls pledging to a sorority and to see which trades behaviors and hairdos got them in. nice, pretty, ponytails and which ones get them out like so bossy, like so phony and in a hairstyle that resembled a mullet. even though the show was allegedly about college life, no books, no newspapers, novels, debates about the exist that god or discussion of any recent classroom lectures clattered the same or trouble the dialogue. these college girls were way too shallow for any of that. my sympathetic response to my then teenage daughter on the sofa wrapped in a quilt, just trying to escape for a bit and to this drivel filled world a simple bellow. shut that off. now i ask you, what teenager would love to have a feminist mother standing over her shoulder while she watches television, pointing out how the show perpetrate stereotypes about girls being persisted to twit obsessed only with personal validation checks. then, warm

reality show news, the city of miami reportedly will play host to the next season of "jersey shore" on mtvhalf drunken idiots with spray tans. you know? [ laughter ] that will be something, "jersey shore." now when tony montana says, say hello to my little friend, he might be referring to snooki. place mrauls [ applause ] former democratic congressman from new york eric massa is all over the news today. he resigned on monday. nobody seems to know why. first, he said he resigned because he was sick. then, when it came out he had been accused of groping three young male staff members, he changed his story and said he was forced out for not cooperating with the white house on health care. glenn beck had him on his show last night. outcrazying glenn beck is like outsexing tiger woods, so -- somehow -- [ applause ] somehow this guy, massa, managed to do it. and here's his version of the alleged groping. >> now they're saying i groped a male staffer. yeah, i did. not only did i grope him, i tick med him until he couldn't breathe and four guys jumped on top of me. it was kill the old guy. >> jimm

you'll see it sunday night, march 14th on the mtv documentary "summit on the summit."at was the toughest part, jessica, of climbing the mountain? >> well, i think the toughest part of climbing the mountain was probably the altitude. it really affects you in such a strange way and you don't really know what's going to happen to your body. i think that's why i was saying what i was saying on the clip. i don't know what's going to happen at 18,000 feet. i don't know if i'm going to have a headache, i don't know if i'm going to feel nauseous or if my body's just going to stop working on me. so the mystery of that was very psychological. and i think that was probably the most difficult part for me. >> larry: kenna, what was the toughest for you? >> i think in part the same thing. i went to our medic, melissa and i asked her why i had a headache that was completely surrounding my head. and she said it was because my brain was swelling into my head cavity. which didn't make me happy and made me feel like i was doing something crazy and also bringing all my friends to do it. a

they're in that ski lodge, they're inundated with iran-contra, david bowie referencing i want my mtv and michael jackson what color is he. you see chevy chase. there's some incoherent scenes with chevy chase. it's written by the same two guys, sean anders and john morris who wrote "she's out of my league." thinking back on it, i like it even more. this falls flat in a lot of ways. there's funny moments in it but it feels rushed. the script feels like a lot of people worked on it and it lost its way. funny moments. >> less than average rating, a c minus. >> yeah, i gave them a c minus. i feel like maybe i was too harsh on it and maybe in a year when you see it on cinemax, i'll like it more. john cusack had a great line. he called it the citizen cane of hot tub movies. like i said, i gave it a c minus. i think it's unworthy of your time. >> let's talk about -- this could be a fun family movie, right, teenage viking, spunky dragons in is called "how to train your dragon." let's take a look. >> look for this blank spot. every dragon has one. find it, hide in it, and strike. >> do you eve

. >> kroft: he lives here with his wife, former mtv news correspondent tabitha soren, and their threeren-- a three- year-old son and two young daughters, who he takes to all of cal berkeley's women's basketball games. it's one of the few breaks that lewis allowed himself over the past 18 months as he dug into the idiocy and negligence that produced the worst financial crisis since the great depression. >> lewis: i'm afraid that our culture will come to the conclusion, because it's always the easy conclusion, that everybody was just a bunch of criminals. i think the story is much more interesting than that. i think it's a story of mass delusion. >> kroft: lewis's forte has always been discovering little- known facts and characters that change people's perception about a story. so when he finally sat down at his computer with sacks full of research to write about this calamity, he had no interest in treasury secretary hank paulson or ben bernanke or the c.e.o.s of wall street's big investment banks, who he believes had no clue what was going on while it was going on. he wanted to tell t
