Actually, he's Michael, an artist friend of Eldin's, chosen by Murphy to escort her to Clinton's inauguration. There are plenty of jokes at Murphy's expense about her time with the Bush presidency, and Murphy herself jokes about previous inaugurations, particularly the Carter one and an incident with Miss Lillian. Before Charles Shaughnessy comes along as Michael, her co-workers tried to set her up with a variety of men as a date, each one a bigger loser than the other and hysterically funny. Bergen and Shaughnessy (fresh from his matinee Idol role as Shane Donovan on "Days of Our Lives:) have good chemistry, and it's unfortunate that they didn't make him a regular. But he is as charming if not as nebish as he was on "The Nanny", and quite a bit more blue collar. Once again, the show threatens to continuously top itself, with an excellent episode that is a marker in a change of administration in the American government and one that signaled a new regime of hope.
