FYI: Antenna TV is airing Shandling's first Carson appearance tonight I wonder if the Carson estate licensed any shows with guest hosts? Be neat to see an episode with Shandling as host On Thu, Mar 24, 2016 at 6:58 PM, Diner wrote: > > > On Thursday, March 24, 2016 at

I'm pretty sure ITV has more options, and had it not been Good Friday they might have tried something else. They have their main news studios about half a mile away and could have decamped there. My old radio station used to have a reciprocal arrangement with another station that we could use

It did remind me of one of my favorite days in college. We had a TV station on campus, and every Friday we did a one-hour news broadcast. On one Friday, the draconian building manager decided to turn off the air conditioning. Even in a low-light TV station, this was a bad idea. When the second
