[BC] RE: The Show Must Go On

[Brent Hall]

In TV, don't ever tell the talent if you are off the air. Once when I 
was directing the Today Show local cut-in, the idiot floor director 
told the anchor we were off the air. He immediately started making 
off color wise cracks with the weatherman. We were immediately 
deluged with calls from people still watching on cable, and of course 
I got the tongue lashing from the GM, not the talent!
