Todd Newton on HSN

[narzo]

an industry I know a thing or two about and he was doing good.  Just saw the last minute so I don't know why he was on, either he's vendor for a jewelry line (he was on with a host) or he's auditioning.

-UPDATE-  Todd's on again so he must be a new host.  He's working with an established one so he must be in training.  Glad to have you in my world Todd.

The Perf also has an audio story with Bill Rafferty. Has anyone listened to it and if so, does he say anything insightful about the waning years of network daytime game shows?

not really...he speaks highly of the G/T organization, and talks candidly of how local GM's, when they 'used' to have pull, would sandbag some syndie product just to prevent another local station from getting their hands on it... but not much on network decline...

it's not 'that' long of an interview...worth the time.

Did he mention the dual implication of syndicated talk shows and network news programs?

Is there a transcript?  I can't tolerate listening to Perfy that long.
