According to the email, they built a set in 8H (SNL).  Presumably if the show 
goes a different space would be found.

David Bruggeman:
Per an email from his fan club, Connick will tape three pilots/test shows at 30 
Rock tomorrow and Wednesday.


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, basically Talk Soup with an actual audience. (BC link 
on its sale)

The piece on this (Connick) show's slating had to include his infamous 
double-bird-flip from Idol (TVNC link)

Timberlake was the main guest on last night's show. Presumably, the "big

Welcome to show business. 
Yep. I know a few of the MST3k vets would have liked to have been asked to take 
part in the reboot. That'll teach 'em to not have creative control. The creator 
of the '80s sitcom Sledge Hammer has met with several networks and studios to 
reboot the series, but they are only interested in the name... they want to buy 
him out and hand the show to a bunch of kids who had nothing to do with it. He 
keeps refusing.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Batiste [Was: colbert theme]

2018-09-30 Thread 'brugdr' via TVorNotTV 

Batiste was on Fresh Air this past Wednesday, and parts of that show 
are in the weekend Best Of episode.
https://www.npr.org/programs/fresh-air/2018/09/26/651815801/fresh-air-for-sept-26-2018-musician-jon-batiste
The Late Show specific material starts around the 30 minute mark and runs about 
10 minutes.  Turns out both Terry Gross and Batiste love Monk.  Regrettably, 
aside from that we don't get much resolution on the topic at hand.

I have just been trying to bend over backwards to see if I am missing

reference to the guest, nor just an independent musical choice, but in some odd 
and often discordant way “guest adjacent”. The most obvious explanation is that 
a young guy who spent his youth becoming a world class musician and hanging out 
win cool places rather than watching TV and mainlining pop culture makes 
occasional mistakes (after all, apparently if Bob Newhart was a guest and I was 
the musical director I would play him on with the theme from Murder She Wrote) 
but maybe it is some kind of modern New Orleans Jazz way of playing the music 
you don’t expect, or something.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Colbert to do another election-night thang for SHO

2020-10-19 Thread 'brugdr' via TVorNotTV 

The 2016 version was later played (edited, naturally) on CBS during a repeat 
slot.  They'll probably do so this year.Alas, Colbert is too wedded to 
CBS/Showtime political analysts for my tastes.  But I also think shows like The 
Circus are a symptom of our inadequate journalism in this area.  Of course, 
YMMV.DavidSent on my Virgin Mobile Samsung Galaxy S7.

When casting a group conversation show the producers want to be as inclusive as

and reputation for accuracy, they would have probably waited longer, not 
quicker to report if relying on anonymous sources to get additional 
confirmation.

Re: [TV orNotTV] The Slow, Painful Death of the DInner Hour Syndicated Sitcom Rerun

I have a sense that many syndicated programs are finding homes on the various 
digital TV channels like MeTV, H, etc.  Now most of these programs are older, 
but that might change with everything else.DavidSent on my Samsung Galaxy S20

streaming (Big Bang, How I Met Your Mother, Modern Family, Seinfeld, Friends,

even if it gets to 100 may not change much. I stopped watching sitcoms in

syndicated reruns of sitcoms--the good, the bad and the mediocre.Well, in 
Chicago at least that's not the case anymore.  As new syndicated shows start to 
pop up this week, the only station where you can watch a sitcom at dinnertime 
is Weigel's CW affil WCIU, where you can watch "The Neighborhood" at 6 and 6:30 
p.m. As if you wanted to watch it first run on CBS Monday nights. The 5 p.m. 
hour on "CW 26" is filled with "Judge Judy" reruns (as you may know, her 
first-run judging is now on Amazon's Freevee streamer).Well, what's on the 
other non-Big 3 station?  On Nexstar indie WGN, it's two hours of news, as it 
has been for many years now. On Fox's WFLD, it's an hour of news at 5 and an 
hour of "Family Feud" at 6 p.m.--they didn't renew for "Big Bang Theory" and 
WGN picked it up for prime time.  And on sister station MyTV affil WPWR, it's 
*another* hour of "Family Feud" at 5 p.m. (seems to me Debmar-Mercury feeds six 
"Feud" episodes a day) and two new game shows from Fox First Run at 6 (they 
both ran test shows either last year or earlier this year):  "Person, Place or 
Thing," a not-bad update of "20 Questions" appealingly fronted by Melissa 
Peterman, and "Who the Bleep is That?", a celebrity identification game 
produced by Fox-owned TMZ, which may be all you need to know.Of course, with 
the changes afoot in television lately, it seems unlikely that there will be 
more shows coming down the pike to get to the 100 episode number, although "The 
Conners" will probably make it (and what are they going to do with those first 
season episodes with Roseanne Barr?) and those involved are rooting for 
"Ghosts" and "Abbott Elementary"--and also, the stations seem to prefer 
multi-cams to one-camera shows--good luck on that.The Fox-owned stations seem 
to think that the future is in game shows, I guess with "Jeopardy!" and "Wheel" 
going through the host changes recently and next year,the fact that "Modern 
Family" and "The Simpsons" are their only remaining sitcoms and Disney will 
probably want more money to renew them--along with "Feud" and the two new 
shows, they've picked up reruns of Game Show Network's "People Puzzler" (based 
on the crossword puzzle for idiots in People magazine) and in-house "25 Words 
or Less" and in-house-CBS Media's "Pictionary" continue (but Big Jaw's reboot 
of "You Bet Your Life" isn't, presumably because of Leno's recent accidents).  
And you'll find sitcom reruns in late-night against the talk shows--oh shoot, 
there's another dying genre.

Re: [TV orNotTV] Re: How ESPN Covered MNF Medical Emergency

I made the statement based on my read of this NFL.com 
article.https://www.nfl.com/news/bills-to-honor-damar-hamlin-medical-staff-patriots-game-pay-salaryYes,
 the Bills are paying his salary in full, but the following text from the 
article suggests this is a special case."Though Hamlin's four-year, $3.64 
million rookie contract contains a standard split to pay him at a lower rate if 
he lands on IR, Buffalo worked out an agreement with the NFL and NFLPA to pay 
his full rate for Week 18's games, Rapoport reported."Presumably if Rapaport 
had it wrong, the league would say so on its own website.This may be specific 
to rookie contracts, I don't know.DavidSent on my Samsung Galaxy S20 FE 5G.

Where did you hear that about salaries while on IR?  That's not true, as I 
understand it.  The Collective Bargaining
 Agreement between the players' union and the NFL guarantees a player is paid 
their full contract if the player suffers a "football-related injury" (defined 
as any injury associated with game play or practice/workouts at the team's 
facilities) that puts them
 on the injured list.  Players who can't play due to non-football-related 
injuries can be denied their full pay at the team's discretion.




Hamlin's injury would definitely fall under the football-related definition, 
and he should be paid his full salary
 if he's placed on the Injured Reserve list (I'm not sure if his official 
roster status has been changed yet at this point).

A brief check of the NFL home page this morning echoes this approach.  A lot of 
organized celebration to make it look like the league isn't patting itself on 
the back for avoiding worse optics.  That the Bills are doing a
 lot to recognize Hamlin makes sense to me.  The league-wide celebrations push 
this into contrivance for me.


And today I learned that standard contracts (not sure if this is just for the 
first/rookie contract or not) are set up so a player on injured reserve doesn't 
get full salary.  If I didn't already wish ill of the NFL, I would
 now.

I gave ESPN good marks for how they handled Damar Hamlin’s dramatic and life 
threatening injury last Monday Night. I give them much lower marks for how they 
handled Saturday’s games. With the very welcome news of positive developments 
for Hamlin (who still
 has a long way to go), ESPN switched from the restrained, minimalist 
journalistic stance they took Monday night to the full throated, sentimental, 
religiously transformative propaganda line that no doubt was set in the PR 
offices of the NFL. Joe Buck seemed
 to go as far as to suggest that the injury was actually a net good thing, as 
Hamlin’s recovery has been a unifying force for the nation, while Aikman 
proclaimed that Hamlin’s recovery was due to the power of prayer.


One of my concerns is that this incident almost certainly really was a freak 
accident, less a function of the inherent violence in football than unusual 
timing and location of the contact during that tackle, or perhaps some 
unrecognized heart defect (this
 seems less likely to me). As a result it will be easy to write off all the 
dangers associated with football as part of the random dangers inherent in any 
activity. What is needed is a renewed and sustained focus on the very real, 
very serious, very high health
 risks associated specifically with tackle football. Of course neither ESPN nor 
any of the League’s other broadcast partners (and here the genius of the NFL 
partnering with almost every major outlet) has any business interest in 
focusing on that.

As the severity of the incident became clear they were respectful and 
restrained, and avoided speculation. When there wasn’t anything to say, they 
noted that, and didn’t say anything. I thought it was smart to switch to the 
studio and let those people
 fill time, rather than than have the broadcasters on site do that. sideline
