Comments on: Why can’t we make TV like this? http://conoroneill.com/2006/09/23/why-cant-we-make-tv-like-this/ Local stuff and other stuff from a blow-in Sat, 11 Feb 2012 17:07:39 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v= By: conor http://conoroneill.com/2006/09/23/why-cant-we-make-tv-like-this/comment-page-1/#comment-7782 conor Mon, 09 Oct 2006 06:47:01 +0000 http://conoroneill.com/2006/09/23/why-cant-we-make-tv-like-this/#comment-7782 I figured that after 10 years he might be a bit of a prima donna, but offering the president of Pakistan a twinkie whilst asking him where Osama bin Laden is, means I can forgive him a lot. If he keeps the sharpness up when the Dems get in the next time then he'll be truly awesome.

But amazingly he's still considered niche viewing ie big on the east and west coast, chicago, philly etc but the midwest has still to switch on. On a negative, much as Jon is seen as funny and good for a more liberal viewpoint, I've heard horror stories about what it's like to work on the shows. If Jon doesn't like your idea at the production meeting...you're 'kindly' shown the door onto 10th Ave. Glad you’ve discovered Jon…it’s the last vesitge of hope we hang onto here in the U.S. His soapbox at the start of the show is usually the funniest bit I think.
