Baba Ganoosh

The truly fascinating Gilda Radner as Baba Wawa.

Barbara Walters, also known as Baba Wawa to my generation, was once a groundbreaking journalist, the first woman to really make it big in the world of male-dominated TV news. Now she is 86 and clearly out of her mind. But she still gets to be on TV, since TV itself is an old and outdated hag. A few nights ago, the aging doyenne took to the airways and named Bruce Jenner, the former Olympian who got boobs but still has a penis and now wears sexy dresses and tons of makeup and insists on being called Caitlyn, "The Most Fascinating Person of 2015."

With a presidential election in the works full of people who actually are pretty fascinating (Dr. Ben Carson, Donald Trump, Bernie Sanders), she got it so wrong that one wonders how. But since her list of the ten people who supposedly draw the attention and interest of everyone this year included actor Bradley Cooper (hot but not fascinating), comedienne Amy Schumer (foul-mouthed but not fascinating) and ex-comic Tracy Morgan (still alive but not fascinating), chances are Baba simply doesn't know the meaning of the word.
