Glad to see the Charlie Rose Show getting back on track last night — in its New York studios with guest host Harold Varmus — after a hodgepodge of guest anchors (former government officials like Dennis Ross and Ken Duberstein — we're sorry we missed Ana Marie Cox) at Bloomberg studios in D.C. on Tuesday.

Charlie, underwent surgery for a heart problem and is recuperating in Paris. We hope he gets well soon, and we soon see him again at Michael's restaurant alcove table after he starts his show in about 10 days, as planned.

About tonight's show: Do the ratings need more Michael Eisner? (We saw when he guest-hosted Charlie's show a few months back. 'Nuff said.)
