- Oh, gosh, there’s not too much to say about this one. There’s some fun stuff in here, but overall this is another episode where we stay in the studio the whole time. The newsdesk still had not been cut down, so we continued to land jets on it.
- Lora Kopriva, who played Ms. Gesh, did a great job and she was a real sport about letting us blast her with fog-- this was a professional grade fog machine we were using and the smoke that came out of it smelled terrible. One blast of that was probably like smoking a carton of cigarettes. John and I suffered through a lot of blasts with that fog--- and there’s plenty more coming in future episodes- oh goody.
- As was the case with many of the “Live on Tape” shows, I was busily editing it right up until air-time. Joel Poppen, one of our engineers and camera operators, had just become a father minutes before air-time. I changed his credit on the show to read, “Joel “Papa” Poppen” for that night. I know this isn’t a very interesting fact, but this isn’t that interesting an episode.
