The NYT takes a look at Greg Gutfeld's tenure as editor of Stuff, and his abrupt departure earlier this week. Gutfeld contends that his bosses just didn't get his sense of humor. Gutfeld, who got kicked out of grade school for lighting firecrackers in class, continued with the pranks through most of his editorial career. Stuff featured public mockings of other magazines such as having then GQ editor Art Cooper's handwriting analyzed, responded to letters sent to Entertainment Weekly (an oldie but a goodieSPY used to answer letters to the New Yorker), and running a "correction" that said, "In last month's issue of Esquire, we thought we read something pretty interesting; turns out, we were just staring at a wall." Gutfeld's off-the-page stunts were even better. He sent a group of dwarf actors to disrupt a magazine panel and wore a bearskin rug to a fashion show. I know Gutfeld's a pain in the ass, but I think Stuff is going to be incredibly boring now. Then again, if he's looking for things to do, we could always use another unpaid intern.

FilmMagic has pictures from the March 10 media bias panel at Grand Centralpresumably taken before the sparks flew. Notice a smiling Janeane Garofalo before moderator Harry Evans told the panelist to stay and sign their books except Janeane because "you don't have a book." See also a smiling Tina Brown before she "dissed" Entertainment Weekly founder Jeff Jarvis. (Jarvis says, "She didn't diss me; she only ignored me; when you're famous, you have to do that all day.")

Entertainment Weekly founder Jeff Jarvis on a recent brush with Tina Brown: "I was sitting, at random, next to two people who happened to know Tina Brown. She came over to say hello to them. Verbal hugs and virtual kisses...Brown talked about her upcoming TV show on CNBC (and how she's not sure she should do the Oscars if we have a war on... and besides, this is Harvey's year). I tried to be polite and interested and join in the conversation, which is what you do where I was raised, and so I tried to task a simple conversational question: When is the show starting? I get ignored. Poof: I am not there. She looks at me. She does not see me. I mutter to myself, I started a magazine, too, honey, and mine is alive and profitable." That's our Tina! And hey, it's Tina Brown Day at Gawker! (Oh, who are we kidding? Every day is Tina Brown Day at Gawker. All we care about, really, is Tina Brown and expensive restaurants.)
