There is a name of a minor character or a pseudo-name that is mentioned in the movie during the discussion of the rigging of the show at least once. I think it might be "Bunny." Does anyone know the name to which I am referring and who this person was?

"Bunny" was the nickname for Edmund Wilson (1895-1972), who "The Reader's Companion to Twentieth Century American Writers" says is "widely regarded as the most eminent man of letters of the century." Richard Goodwin, Rob Morrow's character in the movie, uses the name "Bunny" to refer to Wilson when he's talking on the phone with his wife. He does this in order to try to convey what intellectual heavyweights Charles Van Doren and his family are--and his wife says something to the effect that just because the Van Dorens call him "Bunny" doesn't mean he has to. (Edmund Wilson was one of the guests at the outdoor birthday party for Mark Van Doren, Charles's father, that Rob Morrow's character attends.)
