The questions written for Reid seem racially stereotyped and insulting. I just deflowered her." That's good for a roar. White tells Tim Reid, formerly of "WKRP in Cincinnati," that "You're on 'Teacher's Only,' and I just love you on that." Fine, except that the program hasn't been on the air yet.Īsked how he's doing with his "lady" on the soap opera "Days of Our Lives," John Taylor replies, "I'm doing fine.

And there's no reason why they should bother to find out-certainly not via "Just Men," a new game show NBC is introducing this week as part of an effort to salvage the ruins of a wildly unsuccessful daytime schedule.
