People From Hawthorne, New Jersey
A person ( : people) is a being that has certain capacities or attributes such as reason, morality, consciousness or self-consciousness, and being a part of a culturally established form of social relations such as kinship, ownership of property, or legal responsibility. The defining features of personhood and, consequently, what makes a person count as a person, differ widely among cultures and contexts. In addition to the question of personhood, of what makes a being count as a person to begin with, there are further questions about personal identity and self: both about what makes any particular person that particular person instead of another, and about what makes a person at one time the same person as they were or will be at another time despite any intervening changes. The plural form "people" is often used to refer to an entire nation or ethnic group (as in "a people"), and this was the original meaning of the word; it subsequently acquired its use as a plural form of ...

Year Of Birth Missing (living People)
A year or annus is the orbital period of a planetary body, for example, the Earth, moving in its orbit around the Sun. Due to the Earth's axial tilt, the course of a year sees the passing of the seasons, marked by change in weather, the hours of daylight, and, consequently, vegetation and soil fertility. In temperate and subpolar regions around the planet, four seasons are generally recognized: spring, summer, autumn and winter. In tropical and subtropical regions, several geographical sectors do not present defined seasons; but in the seasonal tropics, the annual wet and dry seasons are recognized and tracked. A calendar year is an approximation of the number of days of the Earth's orbital period, as counted in a given calendar. The Gregorian calendar, or modern calendar, presents its calendar year to be either a common year of 365 days or a leap year of 366 days, as do the Julian calendars. For the Gregorian calendar, the average length of the calendar year (the ...

Ted Alexandro
Ted Alexandro (born January 26, 1969) is a stand-up comedian from New York City. He has appeared on most late night talk shows and has had his own half-hour specials on Comedy Central. Biography Alexandro is a native of Bellerose, Queens, New York, and he attended St. Francis Preparatory School. At the age of ten, young Ted felt he had a future as an equestrian. However, his ambitions were thwarted when his uncle gave young Ted his first exposure to horse riding, in which he got thrown in a "scary" ordeal. The loss of young Ted's promise proved a real blow to the sport; prominent media figure Eddie Pepitone told Ted, "A lot of people thought, you know, you were going to be one of the better equestrian people going." So instead he settled and matriculated to City College of New York, with a major in music with a concentration in jazz piano. His father was a New York City Public School teacher in Brooklyn for 30 years, and his mother worked in the home, raising five kids. Sh ...

New York (magazine)
''New York'' is an American biweekly magazine concerned with life, culture, politics, and style generally, and with a particular emphasis on New York City. Founded by Milton Glaser and Clay Felker in 1968 as a competitor to ''The New Yorker'', it was brasher and less polite, and established itself as a cradle of New Journalism. Over time, it became more national in scope, publishing many noteworthy articles on American culture by writers such as Tom Wolfe, Jimmy Breslin, Nora Ephron, John Heilemann, Frank Rich, and Rebecca Traister. In its 21st-century incarnation under editor-in-chief Adam Moss, "The nation's best and most-imitated city magazine is often not about the city—at least not in the overcrowded, traffic-clogged, five-boroughs sense", wrote then-''Washington Post'' media critic Howard Kurtz, as the magazine increasingly published political and cultural stories of national significance. Since its redesign and relaunch in 2004, the magazine has won more National Mag ...

The Caroline Rhea Show
''The Caroline Rhea Show'' is a short-lived American syndicated variety/talk show hosted by actress and comedian Caroline Rhea. It premiered on September 2, 2002, and ran until May 21, 2003. The show was regarded as the successor to ''The Rosie O'Donnell Show''; Rosie O'Donnell selected Rhea, who had hosted the last few weeks of ''Rosie'', as her replacement. Format In many ways, ''The Caroline Rhea Show'' was similar to its predecessor ''The Rosie O'Donnell Show'' and the more successful ''The Ellen DeGeneres Show''; all three programs were daytime talk shows that were run like nighttime talk shows, with monologues and house bands and celebrity (and sometimes non-celebrity) guests. Unlike O'Donnell's daytime show, on which audience members opened the shows by announcing the day's guests, announcer Chip Zien would begin episodes of ''The Caroline Rhea Show'' by saying, "Live from New York, it's ''The Caroline Rhea Show''! On today's show: ames of guests..Here's Caroline!" T ...

Last Call With Carson Daly
''Last Call with Carson Daly'' is an American late-night television series that was broadcast by NBC from 2002 to 2019. Hosted by former MTV personality Carson Daly, the series was initially formatted as a late-night talk show in line with ''The Tonight Show'' and '' Late Night''. In 2009, ''Last Call'' abandoned its studio-based format, and was retooled with as an entertainment program featuring interviews and performances (such as music and stand-up comedy) filmed on-location with Daly. Unlike other programs in NBC's late night lineup, ''Last Call'' typically recorded only 24 weeks of original shows a year, with the rest of the year being taken up by reruns. In 2013, NBC announced that Daly would leave ''Last Call'' to become a correspondent for its morning show ''Today''. Despite this, the show continued with Daly in a reduced capacity, serving only as a studio-based presenter for the segments (with interviews conducted by production staff off-camera). In February 2019, NBC ...
