Ben Stein loses NY Times column over endorsement

Yahoo! News: "NEW YORK – Monotone TV personality Ben Stein has been stripped of his Sunday New York Times business column because of his work as a pitchman for a credit monitoring company.

New York Times spokeswoman Catherine Mathis released a statement Friday that said the newspaper decided it would not be appropriate for Stein to pitch for FreeScore.com while writing his column.

An e-mail requesting comment from the former host of Comedy Central's 'Win Ben Stein's Money' quiz show was not immediately returned.

Stein famously played the part of a monotone economics teacher in 'Ferris Bueller's Day Off.'"
