 I am able to say that I have been on the Jerry Springer stage without 
 having been a guest of the show. 

 Didn't think Stamford offered tours... and as I post this even 30 Rock

He's been teasing a big announcement over the last few episodes, and made it at

and that show would be available on Monday.

Re: [TV orNotTV] A couple of late night reruns

2015-06-18 Thread 'David Bruggeman' via TVorNotTV
The late night talk discussion was more than a little annoying, as Seinfeld 
pretended he was doing Meyers a favor, even though Jerry was there to promote 
his coffee drinking show.

Corden did another bit earlier this week when he and Reggie swapped spots for 
the open and the monologue.

According to our old friend Sue Trowbridge's site, there are a couple of 
interesting reruns coming up.

On Friday the 19th, Seth Meyers will rerun the show with Jerry Seinfeld and 
David Remnick. While the brief exchange with Seinfeld about PC comedy is what 
got publicity, it's more interesting for their discussion of late night talk, 
and then a conversation about the New Yorker with Seinfeld in the second seat.

Next Tuesday, Corden will be rerunning the gimmick show with Helen Hunt. 
Since I don't think any of us saw it, here's another chance.

I've listened to the full Maron announcement, and it doesn't sound like they

My guess is that he'll go biographical as best he can, on whatever aspects of

I have actually had a chance to talk with President Obama since he has been in 
office - shook his hand and had a few minutes of conversation. It is a hell of 
a lot more difficult to be anything but obsequious in his presence than I 
suspect most viewers, regardless of their politics, think. I managed to make a

sweating bullets and looked like ten times the dufus I usually am.
I expect we will still hear Maron say fuck several times in the presence of

The BBC radio topical comedy series hosted by Al Murray and often featuring
John Oliver's Bugle co-host Andy Zaltzman is back. It has been infrequent
as it airs on what is predominantly BBC's sports station and is often
pre-empted, and each series only runs a few episodes, but with Sandy
Toksvig leaving NewsQuiz to enter politics (where I hope she kicks ass),
this is an equally fun alternative.

 I suspect that NBC might be in the process of revamping their Page program
to include interns who now have to be paid (because they are whiny cry

involve lengthy negotiations as to who gets to do what and for how long and
for how much money. If that's the case, the tours would be suspended until
those deals are made.

I know a few people who were on the Springer show in the '90s. They were

 I have a feeling it’s going to be like one of those uncomfortable “Daily

I have actually had a chance to talk with President Obama since he has been
in office - shook his hand and had a few minutes of conversation. It is a
hell of a lot more difficult to be anything but obsequious in his presence
than I suspect most viewers, regardless of their politics, think. I managed
to make a [lame] joke and engage him on something our daughters have in
common, but I was sweating bullets and looked like ten times the dufus I
usually am.

I expect we will still hear Maron say fuck several times in the presence
of the leader of the free world, and will probably ask him about his days
smoking grass, and why he has not closed Gitmo.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Harry Connick, Jr. taping talker pilot this week.

TIL Jerry Springer's show moved from the NBC tower in Chicago to
Connecticut.

I am able to say that I have been on the Jerry Springer stage without
having been a guest of the show.

 Did it say which studio they're using?

 He'll be glad he ain't out in Stamford with *Maury, Springer, *and
 *Wilkos*... or the nascent *Crazy Talk*
 http://www.broadcastingcable.com/news/syndication-and-distribution/nbc-launch-crazy-talk-fall/138863,

[TV orNotTV] Re: Interview with Jon Batiste (Stephen's LS Bandleader)

If your expectations for Colbert are high, watch the Trump parody video. 
There's 60 seconds of top comedy crammed into a 6:30 slot.

 I'm now concerned my expectations are too high for this show.
