There's a new hot TV mogul on the scene. She's brilliant, she's powerful, she's funny, and she's just 26-years-old. Talk about your wunderkinds.
One year ago today, one my favorite couples decided to tie the knot. And you know why? Because, at last, they could.
As someone who grew up around comedians, I learned a lot about which topics were surefire winners with audiences (marriage, dating, mothers-in-law), and which ones were edgier (religion, sex and politics).

While opinions may differ as to whether a First Lady (presiding or aspiring) deserves such levels of scrutiny, there is no denying that the position itself requires strength, dignity and resolve.
In celebration of romance and commitment, here's a look at some of Phil's and my personal photos, as well as a collection of celebrity couples who have defied the odds and stayed in the zone.
