[QuadList] OT: Try this with a Quad---

[Langdell Ted]

Last night (Monday, June 21, the longest night of the year) probably  
seemed long at the theater in Hollywood where the "Jimmy Kimmel Show"  
tapes.

The power went out. About an hour before showtime.  No juice to the  
control room, tape ops area or transmission.

But it's Show Business and you know what has to go on....

Accounts differ on what was working, but they agree that Kimmel  
grabbed his MacBook and recorded the show using the webcam in the  
laptop.

The show's publicist says "Guests Seth Rogen, John Henson and country  
artist Dierks Bentley were very accommodating in 'going with what  
happened.'"

The show airs tonight (actually 12:05a Wed. morning in many markets)

Jimmy was able to run a trailer from Rogen's new movie, but the  
stories don't day how. (Laptop screen via wifi?

No word whether he cut the teases for the show on the MacBook also.

Kimmel has apparently been through studio power outages before. One  
hit the Bonnie Hunt show when Kimmel visited in Nov. 2009.  He joked  
that "We pay the bills over at my show."

So a few questions:  If this ABC show is a union affair, did Jimmy  
have to get someone with a NABET/CWA finger to push push the virtual  
record button on his MacBook?

If this level of quality is acceptable to viewers... do you suppose  
some starving station or net will begin programming content from  
YouTube 24/7.

Have fun on this second? longest day of the year.
