- <p> He is America's only celebrity armchair scholar. As the
- host of Masterpiece Theater for 22 seasons, the preternaturally
- polished ALISTAIR COOKE has alleviated the Sunday blahs for
- thousands of TV viewers. But next week Cooke, 84, bids his final
- good night. All erudite entertainment, Cooke brought
- sophisticated credibility to the salacious likes of I, Claudius
- and informed social commentary to classics such as Brideshead
- Revisited. His replacement? PBS is still looking for someone to
- fill the seat.
