Ken Tucker’s new book, “Kissing Bill O’Reilly, Roasting Miss Piggy: 100 Things to Love and Hate About TV,” is hilarious. (The New York magazine movie critic was Critic-at-Large for years at Entertainment Weekly.) Tucker tees off on people (The Smothers Brothers were “smug, self-immolating and self-pitying . . . ” and Johnny Carson “dreadfully overrated”) and shows (“Star Trek,” he writes, “always s**ked. In any of its various incarnations.”). He also lavishes praise on Edie Falco, “NewsRadio,” Simon Cowell, “Twin Peaks,” Bill O’Reilly and Jack Benny, among many others.

I agree with Ken on almost everything – although “Barney Miller” remains one of my all-time-favorites. (He calls it “pulp fiction of the sappiest, most sour sort.”)

Tony Danza will emcee and perform at a Jan. 23 benefit to raise money for Sebastian Del Duca, a 21-month-old from Hawthorne, N.J. who’s been in a low-level coma since June 13, 2004 – when he was struck by a car in nearby Ridgewood, sustaining broken bones and severe cranial damage. Sebastian is home now but is still in a coma – and the family’s insurance isn’t nearly enough to cover the cost of his round-the-clock care.

To that end, Danza, the John Pizzarelli Trio, Bucky Piz zarelli, Ronan Tynan and others will gather Jan. 23 at the Bergen Performing Arts Center in Englewood, N.J. to help raise money for the Del Duca family. Sebastiandelduca.com has more information.
