Great ESPN SportsCenter program this evening...

Category Everything Else


On ESPN, they did an hour show prior to SportsCenter showing how the nightly show comes together.  Very interesting to watch everyone working under the deadlines of live TV.  Then during the actual SportsCenter show, they used ESPN2 to show the regular broadcast and ESPN to show the control room and behind-the-scenes activity of what is occuring during the show.  All the while SportsCenter was in a small corner of the screen.

Live TV has always amazed me.  There's no "do-overs", no time to correct your mistakes.  You just go with the flow and do whatever you have to in order to keep the show going.  

Great stuff...

Gravatar Image1 - Ah, I remember it well! Tim Conway was one of my favorite comics, and his skits with Korman were classics.

Gravatar Image2 - I don't know if you remember the sitcom "The Carol Burnett Show"...oh wait...you should...you're old like me!!! (just kidding) Anyway...that was and still is my all time favorite show. Harvey Korman and Tim Conway would never stay to the script. Tim was always throwing in some one-liners that would throw everybody off...it was a kick just to watch the cast not to try and break up in laughter...Classic!
