They know the answers, > Your present argument does neither explain the success of dumb stuff, > e.g. > talkshows My wife spent a short time working as a producer for a TV Talk Show and the standard on ALL of the talk shows is that the guest NEVER says anything that is unexpected. This is one reason the questions are so canned. They have to know what the answers are going to be. If the guest says anything unexpected the "Talent" or host or whatever usually comes down hard on the producer who booked the segment. There are no "live" interviews, all of the questions have been asked in advance and the answers recorded so that the on-air talent looks good and intelligent. - -- Harrison McClary http://people.delphi.com/hmphoto
