Meanwhile, Nobody's Taking The Topo Gigio Statue
-
Somebody stole the Ed Sullivan statue from the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences building in North Hollywood. I'd make the "how can they tell the statue and the real thing apart?" joke, but unless you're in your fifties or older, you wouldn't get it. Question: Why would anyone steal an Ed Sullivan statue? Maybe for the bronze. Two bucks a pound for yellow brass, twenty pounds -- twenty pounds? That's all? Forty bucks scrap value? They value the thing at $45,000, but what kind of market is there for a statue of a TV icon who nobody under 50 remembers? (KCBS-TV/Los Angeles)
