I thought Bob Boden showran the first season before Canter took over.
Is "showran" a word you've "architected" to mean produced?

Boden produced FF under E.P. Canter during the first season with Louie. I say that speaking as the puzzlescrubber when Bobby Sherman showran Password Plus and George Choderker was shotcaller. Unfortunately our version did not have an etymologist to act as cluebuzzer.

And this is why the hair on my arm raises whenever Horan tries to sound more inside than he actually is by using Varietyspeak like "bowed"...

WHOA! WHOA! WHOA! HOLD IT THERE, CHRIS. HALT! STOP! CEASE!

"... more inside than he ALREADY IS"? ALREADY IS???

This implies that Zach is "inside" to begin with. Randy is "inside", SplitSecond is "inside", I'm "inside", but Zach? No!

Uh, go back and reread me. Actually. Not already. Actually.

(Unless you fixed it for me, in which case it now says what I meant to say in the first place. Trust me, I do not for a second accuse Zach Horan of being "inside" anything, unless it's his house or the unbearable hell of his own pathetic existence. :))

OK, ACTUALLY is. My point still stands. You can't be MORE something unless you are already that something to begin with.

And I'm agreeing with you. "Already" implies some level. "Actually" does not. And you can certainly be "more" than zero, where the latter is exactly what Zach is, and the former is what he would like to be.

This sounds like it requires a special trip to Bed, Bath, and Beyond.

You can't be more "something" than you actually are unless you are already that "something" to begin with. I can't be more Jewish than I actually am because I'm not Jewish to begin with.

I'm amused at its modification to "showran", as well as its application to game shows, but "showrunner" is a perfectly valid word at this point, even if you hate Variety-speak. It's certainly been the only job title I've ever seen associated with certain employees for various TV dramas. It's not like "yeah, he's our showrunner, look at these skeds", it's "the creator, showrunner, and producers had a quick meeting".

If the showrunner and producer are one and the same, how can he/she have a meeting with him/herself?

So you don't like my term "shotcaller"?

There is a story involving Mark Goodson and Paul Alter during a meeting with NBC which I will tell you the next time I see you.

A lot of people I work with talk to themselves. I wonder if I'm the cause.

I love it. It's a person who specifies his drink requests to the bartender, right?

If you need to have a couple of teeth extracted in a hurry, walk up to a network T.D. and call him a "button-pusher". Hold my watch!

Is it true that DOND does not have a head prop person but instead has a "case-stuffer"? Or do case-stuffers only work on courtroom shows?
