What Is Early Word?
The Philadelphia Inquirer's experimental online "morning show", which began in Sept. 2005, went on hiatus in the summer of 2006, after a gradual shift to putting more of its content directly on Philly.com.



About the Host
Peter Mucha, husband and father of two, grew up in Cherry Hill and is a lifelong Philly sports fan. He's been writing and editing for The Inquirer for 18 years. His motto (at least for today): "If I'm not brief, give me grief."

CBS3's Ukee Washington Chides Cousin Denzel 

The KYW morning anchor (above) mocked-complained this morning as he introduced an interview with his Oscar-winning megastar cousin, Denzel Washington. Ukee had a small part in Denzel's Manchurian Candidate remake, but no invite to be in Denzel's latest, Inside Man, a caper flick that opens tomorrow. "Was my performance that bad? I didn't get nothing. Not even a call!" kids Ukee. Denzel quickly turned the tables, joshing Ukee's so big time, no way to get past his "peeps." Couldn't even get Ukee to lend his poor Hollywood relation a couple of bucks. "I'll tell you what," said Denzel. "We'll do An American Gangster. ... in September. We'll be here. Me and Russell Crowe are doing it with Ridley Scott." (Does here mean Philly? No, sorry to say, the interview was in New York.) By the way, Inside Man, a Spike Lee joint, is pretty good, says a review. Penn's commencement speaker, Jodie Foster, also stars.
