Faster than a rolling O More powerful than silent E Able to leap a capital T in a single bound It's a word It's a plan It's Letterman! For extra trivia points identify the person who did the narration and the name of the arch-villain.

I figured out why my Tom Lehrer synapses were firing. He wrote "Silent E" (and some other songs) for "The Electric Company".

And would that be Joan Rivers?
