 | If you missed the 50th anniversary segment of The Today Show earlier this week, you missed a trip down memory lane for an American cultural phenomenon. At this Web site, read about the “Fabulous Fifties” of talk show TV, the appearances of J. Fred Muggs on Today in 1953 and Muggs’ replacement, a chimp named Kokomo Jr. who proved to be a talented addition to the cast but didn’t have the staying power of newscaster Barbara Walters. Also follow links to the officialToday Web site and view archived videoclips from the show’s half-century run. And don’t miss some of those videoclips featuring IU alumna Jane Pauley.
