Larry King faces the cameras… literally
Larry King gave a good demonstration last night of what not to do as a guest. He was on Anderson Cooper 360, being interviewed by John King about Dr. Jan Adams walking off the Larry King Live show. Larry King was constantly looking away from his interviewer and at the camera. Breaking eye contact in [...]

What if you gave a press conference and nobody came?
Answer: carry on as if they did and have your own people pose questions to you. That’s what FEMA did back on October 23rd. Having informed the media of a briefing on the California wildfires 15 minutes before it was to start, it’s not surprising that no one turned up. A couple of reporters listened [...]

A bad case of the swivels
Saw a live TV interview today in which the guest caught a bad case of the swivels. Seated on a swivel chair behind a news desk, the guest’s very effective hand gestures and body language resulted in making the chair twist back and forth just enough to make me seasick. One of the dangers of [...]

Dazed and confused in swivel city
Here’s the most detailed explanation I’ve found by Paula Abdul herself (posted on MeeVee), for her odd behaviour in those recent TV satellite interviews.
