Light and fluffy with no bad news... that'S a good description

In the morning shows in Germany you get almost just news... they also do interviews or musicians promote their new songs, but those have their special days were they promote... you don't get sugarcoating over here... no matter what happened, you get it before breakfast airplanecrash, warvictims.... they don't care ...

This was by far the worst. The male co-host looked like they just woke him up or maybe dug him up from a local cemetery.

I suppose we're too small a country to have regional TV shows in the morning .. like Daggi said, the death and destruction is intertwined with the fluffy and the comical!

"Sally Knowles" is my favourite so far!

Welcome to the world of morning local TV station talk shows. Meant to be light and fluffy, no hard news, just smiling faces and happy talk. No depth..just get the interview done in 3 minutes or less and on to the next topic. If you have something to promote, a play or musical, then your bring the actors to "make the rounds" of the TV stations. (BTW...it is the PR people at local theater at each stop of the tour who arrange the interviews, not the production company.) In most cases the people who host the shows are not professional news people, but rather "on air personalities" who rarely do their on research, but instead are provided with basic information or given questions to ask by their producers.

There have been some good ones, particularly the Lawyer/professor who interviewed Randy in Chicago. It was a "people in the news" type show and the interviewer was well prepared and very insightful in his questions and it was obvious Randy enjoyed the interview.

I agree wholeheartedly. Even worse than "the emcee Sally Bowles" interviewer.

We have so many that it's ridiculous. Every network, in every city, in every state has their own…morning, noon and night. I don't watch any of it.

Mark - I love how you are so diplomatic.



It really is terrible. I get why you might want a local show, but why 3 or 4 for every city on at the exact same time? One on every network... they each have the EXACT same stories. It would make more sense to pool resources and do a better show. At least each show could try to be original!

Debs, do you have a link to that Such Good People premiere?

Unfortunately, it's part of the "PR" machine. Performers are well-aware of it when they sign up, and it's one of the reasons why Randy was so disillusioned with "Queer as Folk." Now that he's older and has a resume behind him, I think it's easier for him to grind through the interviews.

I just sent them to you hun

Randy is a trooper. He knows how to get through even the most tedious of interviews, remaining professional throughout.
