The latest WTF with Norm MacDonald was pretty good, but I'm a fan of Norm. Of TV note, MacDonald doesn't think it was just Ohlmeyer who got him fired from SNL. He thinks there was widespread support for his termination because he wouldn't take orders. -- TV or Not TV The Smartest (TV) People

Maron announced on last week's Jordan, Jesse Go! podcast that he'll be doing another round of WTF for public radio via PRX with Jesse Thorn producing. They're basically cut down versions of his podcast for the radio. http://www.maximumfun.org/jordan-jesse-go/jordan-jesse-go-episode-194-one-inch-p

Both the Jon Hamm and Bryan Cranston episodes this week are excellent. Hamm hung out with comics before he got his big break. One day he was playing cards with Sarah Silverman when she said, "Oh my God. You're an actor." The story about playing a cop on a low-budget cable show and not being able to

Almost no one liked Paul Reiser's latest show. It failed because it sucked, I think. I didn't put a lot into what he had to say. I think Paul Reiser is quietly assertive and Maron had a hard time getting words in. On Fri, Jul 15, 2011 at 11:11 AM, Tom Wolper wrote: > On Fri, Jul 15, 2011 at 12:1
