All You Need to Know: 4/13/08 Edition

Whew, you guys. There was a time when this weekly roundup was short and sweet (okay, bittersweet – during the strike days especially) but it’s grown long again. Stephen seems to be everywhere at once – doing interviews, presenting awards, doing shows, and preparing for road trips to Philadelphia. Please don’t skimp on your sleep, Stephen! Trying to keep up with our ever-energetic host keeps us busy round the clock. Next week’s shows are going to be great!
