How much of this was ABC's fault for not having a Biff Henderson-type to guide the candidates? On Sun, Feb 7, 2016 at 7:22 AM, Bob Jersey wrote: > > ...as some people I've known over the years have said it, the arrival of > candidates on the Manchester stage Saturday would have come off without a

Said Biff Henderson type did try and wave Dr. Carson onto the stage.  He can be seen poking his head out after the first time Carson missed his cue. This was featured on last night's SNL during Weekend Update. David From: Steve Timko To: TV or Not TV Sent: Sunday, February 7, 2016 1:4

Re: [TV orNotTV] If Martha Raddatz had just been "LOUD AND PROUD"...

Blaming Raddatz or the event producers looses credibility in light of the fact that the other candidates were able to follow their cues. Flubbing up like this is not disqualifying for the presidency (each of these guys has many more, and more important, disqualifiers) but it is just embarrassing.

Re: [TV orNotTV] If Martha Raddatz had just been "LOUD AND PROUD"...

I thought the simulated shooting sketch was great. I'll put money on them bringing it back in some other form this season. It was one of the better SNLs in a long time. People panned the Ronda Rousey episode but I didn't think it was that bad. On Sun, Feb 7, 2016 at 11:16 AM, PGage wrote: > Blami

Lydic can stay on leave, as far as I'm concerned. I find the current correspondent's bench on both TDS and TNS very thin lately. I know I FF through the scripted pieces on Wilmore's show. His solo stuff and the panel are usually worth watching. I'm willing to give Noah the benefit of the doubt,

My podcast this week features a favorite comedian, John Caponera, who has a new book out. In terms of TV-related stuff, we talk about his short-lived NBC sitcom "The Good Life" (with Drew Carey) and we trash-talk Jay Leno. So there's that. https://soundcloud.com/getoffmylawnpodcast/017-john-capone

Well, I like both his yelling at the camera and the Janice in Accounting schtick. I don't think those things get old because he delivers a lot of laughs in other ways too. On Sun, Feb 7, 2016 at 2:57 PM, Mark Jeffries wrote: > Not to mention, in the case of Oliver, the whole "Janice in Accountin

As far as candidates not following their cues, today when they introduced the MVPs  at the Super Bowl,  three of them, starting with Phil Simms,  could not walk out to a blue mark as wide as a 55-gallon drum. Simms is a seasoned TV professional. I think broadcasters need to oversee this as much

Pretty sure there were at least two people pointing and yelling at the MVPs telling them where to go too! (On top of the person inside who told them...) On Mon, Feb 8, 2016 at 12:45 AM, Steve Timko wrote: > As far as candidates not following their cues, today when they introduced > the MVPs at

The number of dumbass things the GOP candidates undoubtedly said during the debate and people, including the NY Daily News and the Washington Post, are remarking about this? This is why I don't vote. On Sun, Feb 7, 2016 at 4:58 PM, Adam Bowie wrote: > Pretty sure there were at least two people

Well, that is not quite fair Kevin. For those who are interested in such things, there have of course been a lot of remarks about the dumbass things the GOP candidates say (or, OTOH, the profound things they say, depending on one's POV). But if you actually saw it, the missed cues on the walk-ins w

You might have missed it when it ran during the pre-kickoff mess, but Mr. Letterman's beard is perhaps more impressive than when he was last photographed in public. http://www.esquire.com/style/grooming/a40562/david-letterman-beard/ I haven't checked out Corden's post-Super Bowl episode yet, but
