When Radio Does TV

One of the more entertaining video sites on the web is from a guy best known for "This is Spinal Tap" and voicing "The Simpsons." Harry Shearer's My Damn Channel, especially when it comes to snippets culled from what we don't see on the screen during TV news shows. It makes me very happy Harry hasn't extended the brand to radio.

In this clip, radio talk show host Laura Ingraham goes off on the set of her Fox TV tryout...one friend in the TV business tells me he felt "itchy" watching this:



My Damn Channel also has Katie Couric outtakes, as well as some amusing items from Dan Rather's hit parade. Good lesson for anyone in broadcasting: if there's a camera and a mic, are you comfortable with everybody watching?
