Can we get a "BOOO" for the tonyawards.com interviewer???

I'm going to throw a 12 year old tantrum right now - it amazes me how unfair life can be - that here we have this thriving community of people who have a strong passion and knowledge of the theatre...and they get some asshat in there doing these interviews and stuff...it just sucks.

awwww...the poor thing. He seemed SO out of his element. They should at least get someone who will be more COMFORTABLE doing the job!

the guy looks like he's completely not even paying attention. Like...in Cherry's interview, she goes through the WHOOLLLEE theme of Doubt and discusses it. The guy zones out through her little speech and finally he snaps back into the program at the end and makes up some B.S. answer like "Oh yeah! It's like that in all of your plays!" And Cherry looks at him for 3 seconds with a blank stare and says, "Oh..really? What plays?"...he's a humiliation. Plus, never put a fat man in a tux under lights in hot New York in June...I've seen more of his sweat than is necessary....

"haha do you have a link? id like to see this."
just go to tonyawards.com....it's on the first page like "Winner's Circle" or "See what the Winner's have to say" or something

I didn't get to see the .com video, but I saw parts of the TV Guide Channel's red carpet arrivals. The talent they used was horrible, especially the guy (but at least he kept admitting he didn't know anything about Broadway). Come on, TV Guide could have hired a freelancer just to host that show. Heck, hire an "up and coming" chorus boy to freelance for the arrivals. That way the cable network would be getting someone who is knowledgable (which the stars themselves would appreciate), the audience would be hearing from someone who at least knows what he is talking about, and the freelancer (chorus boy) would get some exposure. It's not that hard.

AGREED!

And in addiition to discussing it here we whoudl all be sending letters and e-mails to TV GUIDE and letting them know that this sloppy "journalism" will not be tolerated!

While I really did not like the TV Guide coverage because the only talked to "Hollywood" types except for Norbert, I won't complain. At least people all over the country who get the station were forced to acknowledge Broadway's existence for a few seconds. It's good publicity no matter what it is.
