Ha! Yes, I went to the taping of the "@Midnight" premiere on Monday. Really, not much to say about it. Although the intent was obviously to do it live-to-tape, the taping for the half-hour show ended up taking an hour and 25 minutes as they did extended commercial breaks and did pickups and re-dos of a few things -- although for at least one bit, the original version ended up in the show as aired instead of the re-do. (At one point as he was making several attempts at reading an intro correctly, Chris Hardwick said, "We were thinking about doing this show live -- can you imagine?") But it did successfully get on the air about 2 hours and 35 minutes after the taping ended, and I guess that's what really matters. -- Jim Ellwanger <[email protected]> <http://www.ellwanger.tv> -- -- TV or Not TV ....
