TIVO ALERT:  Just a reminder (because your season pass won't notice it) that NBC is running its two-hour Women of SNL special tonight, and Tom Shales would like you to know that Colonel Angus will be resting his head at Shady Thicket once more.  No word on whether we'll see Victoria Jackson singing upside down, evidence that Julia Louis-Dreyfus was funny while on the show, or discussion of Nora Dunn's feminist stance in leaving the show when Andrew "Dice" Clay was booked to host.

Provocative statement of the day: Maya Rudolph is the most talented woman to appear on SNL, and Tina Fey the most important to its history.  Discuss.
