Temps Host Phone-In Show

[Robert]

It just occurred to me, given recent developments, to link to a demonstration of 2 people's being hired from a temp agency, w no preparation, being sat down to host "7 Second Delay" in mid-show:

"7 Second Delay" is a weekly 1-hr. phone-in (or phone-out) experimental comedy program usually co-hosted by comedian-screenwriter Andy Breckman and station mgr.-DJ-AV producer Ken Freedman (who mostly plays straight man to Andy B.'s "bad boy").  While the temps were being shown the ropes, Andy had to be taught to screen calls, all during the show itself.  The hired help IIRC were not told in advance they'd be going on-air, they just knew they were doing a 1-time job at a radio station.  What's amazing, though, is how successful the experiment was.
