("Their Son, the Writer, Finally Tells All" ), ''The New York Times'', June 2, 1996. Accessed April 10, 2008. "At Passaic Valley High School, he was undoubtedly the only boy nicknamed Phyllis, and probably the only one with his own Cuisinart."〕 A 1984 graduate of Northwestern University's Medill School of Journalism, in the 1980s, DeCaro was a media critic writer for the Detroit Free Press and later the Detroit News. He came into the public eye with his recurring commentary ''Out at the Movies'' on ''The Daily Show'', doing movie reviews, with his characteristically flamboyant gay style, from 1996 to 2003. During those years, he co-wrote and hosted five Oscar preview specials for Comedy Central.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Naughty but Nice Night with Oscar - Comedy Central on Gay Super Bowl ) 〕 He was a panelist on a short-lived remake of the classic TV game show ''I've Got a Secret'', on GSN.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=GSN Premieres New Original Series - I've got a Secret ) 〕 A journalist whose column on classic television appears in CBS's ''Watch!
