Joining us now on the line is a Max robins is a veteran. Journalists covering the broadcast. Industry meaning TV. And he is now executive vice president at the paley center for media in New York City. -- there. I AM how -- our young mom and in the Brooklyn bureau tonight. Listen I heard about first to first off I heard there's been another nationwide search and NBC news. Yesterday they came up with it just out of the blue. Chelsea Clinton. You know IE and in the -- that the the president of NBC news said he heard it that does she wish she was looking for something to do with her life at age 31 -- -- it and and he just decided to give her call you know that never happened to me one when I got a call well at age twenty -- my dad. I gotta say that you know in BC news -- tradition yes I'll hire people who were born on the third day. I you know they've they've hired a Tim Russert son Luke writes -- -- is. He did have a show on the BC College Station. It was he was -- he was imminently qualified to be become a network correspondent at the age of 22. It's been. They hired Jenna Bush that would actually built a pretty good job. -- -- -- you the last it was it was genetic Arctic. Yeah should be working in the morning the -- right trying to should be putting in applications did the morning should be working have a in the mall lean. In volusia greater in the is it but the and then they also an enemies have. Debt other commentator on MSNBC. Making -- I didn't know about ten downstream but they came -- -- and this he's received a C and I think as a paid contributor and MSNBC. I think they're Smart. They -- Jana Megan and didn't. When that before the horrible they get it -- I get together and have little. -- if they have the five on on Fox News -- also be completely NBC could have before. Before they have Luke Russert could moderate you know -- could be kinda like -- you could either what -- call it silver spoon. -- that are born on third -- And I thought I hit -- -- but but but but but but but but do you know -- I'm just -- -- noted nepotism is that but but but. I don't like that I said earlier I was I was the I was an unusual case like at the start out and TV in a major market blues because it reporting experience you know what this. Right you were you were of the market you've paid your dues and it. As an instinct actually you know and and and you and you got a shot but mostly that's how coach you go to some small town you're in Salinas California. Your right but but but. Right now and I don't do it anyway okay. Listen I gotta take ghosts I got a couple shows for the monkey business channel -- -- -- one is hot cars of America. But the Chevy Volt right there's been extremely -- the Chevy spark. It sound. It's the fallen while bus company has come out with its line of passenger cars. I think we should we gotta go directly to -- -- -- about co sponsor the future. Brought you by the phone while Obama. That's true the the other we got -- we were having of this the discussion the other day -- woman was arrested in California for seducing a fourteen year or fourteen are sons. Her daughter's fourteen year old ex boyfriend and we were discussing whether she was guilty or innocent or not. And you know would look like she possibly could go either way but then we came up with a picture or she had a tattoo on the back of her neck which as you know that means that usually means. Guilty beyond a reasonable doubt yes yes the social sold one of my listeners came up with the idea of you send me an email. Said. Mug shot make over -- but. Started -- that we sought out with a mug shot and then that the jury which is you know gathered from a local bar rooms. You know I was brought in to discuss whether she's guilty or innocent -- -- we go through the make over process -- she's given a new -- And that she's brought back into the courtroom where the jury has been drinking beer all along in the may have the deliberations. I like it I think that maybe even though we can even have a step before that we're kind of the pre show where they decide based on the net to what the crime she committed. It could be multiple choice they feel that. And you know of course there would be weight limits not not on the defendants not on the jury don't know no blood no weight limits on the jury that can be as bad as they want well I. -- to be taken into consideration. With this -- my fourteen year old I mean. But he had they had broken up. That's true what they were still -- And I was an inappropriate unfortunately she was still dating her husband he walked in on them are there can be a problem with that never got over that. All right 18774694322781. Let's get it out all the way Max how bout them -- that's from seven they won. Why don't we go there -- -- split but but but but but. It. Good -- it but that the ever. Is the Ricky Gervais show coming back to HBO and is an Indian book. -- day coming back to HBO and is an idiot abroad coming back to the Science Channel. I'm an idiot abroad I don't know -- I think to be determined. The Ricky Gervais show I believe is coming back. Ask Max once upon a time instantly. Are doing okay. OK okay doing okay 18774694322. Let's see here sounds like Max at happy hour at 3 o'clock. You know. Imus Imus over -- the man at Massachusetts state that -- -- it was a tough break he and they only have a couple of drinks -- action. Fortunately didn't he never saw the traffic island before even though it lived in the neighborhood for twenty years. -- talk to. Mark your next with how we guard Max province. Yeah you know Ali I don't -- -- agree with Max when he talks -- -- -- and show. I don't think it's going to be that occurred but I at this same time. Both stations don't even have at least I'm ready at all you know it. It it's something happen I mean I think that a lot of what we thought about it and we comedies a lot of those shows. Have moved you can you. And look at nick at night in non keep you land and it is. I have taken the place of some of those TG IF shows we think about or some of the more kind of quote family. -- we've become I however I mean part of the race you know I I they're still our shows I think we're. The amenable hold your kids are like that long running shows like the Simpsons -- Newer shows like modern family that I think -- and we are watching the gathering and I do think a lot of the competition shows have kind of cross generational viewing. The dancing competition shows or you know -- with the stars and and certainly American Idol X-Factor. They had at the keyboard name on the Simpsons last night I don't know what the so that's I think that's the first guest of how we card show it's ever been on the Simpsons -- reported utterly out there always has OK I stand corrected I think. I think how we I think you need to get I think you need you we need when they when I'm up their need to get Mario to -- to -- How would be nice. -- your next with how we card Max -- go ahead now. Yeah hot Macs -- -- question I understand the PBS's gonna open a patriot all in Europe with commercial. Does that mean we might be able to get get rid of that content from taxpayers without -- to PBS they can -- out from Europe certainly there must be able to the last there. Well it's funny they don't call the man they called corporate sponsorship -- but over the years. What I think it's pretty much -- commercials have got kind of creeped out in the public health after the same degree. I hope he -- I think that did the bad news is that for those who who are supporters of PBS and don't like their program. Is that they're doing this basically makes them to make some money and if you work for them overseas. It probably means they won't have to have all the more important wondering if. Max there was a column in the Wall Street Journal over the weekend by Joseph queen whose pretty funny writer before he said that he said the last week. PBS have a documentary on band show us. He said -- you know putting every other issue aside that in itself was enough to strip -- all public funding. It -- I adult but once you know I I have to say I mean. Displays -- criticized by upkeep yes but there's some dispute if you haven't caught the Kemper and the probation period. I thought he did I thought it was or a series on band Jonas. It at at at an at bat that the it all bids showed the side. And of that the prohibition series is really good. We what I -- of it and I had a kind of you're watching it in tandem with this great HBO series it's -- its sophomore year. -- -- imparts great. -- kind of a combination of the two it's it's it's really. To -- you get the hole but that are fun. South -- someone keeps texting me over and over again so it had. Yeah I think south plans going south for good with good show though. Yeah -- double check to make sure but that there was a show that started out on MBC. And went over to TNT by. Is good is it it was good cop show I don't think it really have ever -- the ratings. When his army Weis coming back about Vermont wants to know that. Are we don't have a great. 24 what's up with the 24. Is still try I don't know -- reduce the waiting for Kiefer Sutherland to over at us. Hey it's good news and -- when it comes back in January 70. As my birthday. Yeah. The American has insistently comedians who would include Brian Regan. But it but at what happened decide what if. That's true you know something that's. Ron Reagan junior has been on TV and radio for a long time. O'Brien Henry you know. I guess I am president I got kids the president on the. Ronald Reagan junior's going to be asking himself what's wrong with me -- I had some kind of disease or something but. -- 177469. For three to two options shall bring a really different perspective to the to the network I think it's gonna brought. I 5% you know the shall have a producer with a but I think all those people have producers -- -- -- good I mean that's why it's on like that local news. Sure they do but that the thing is about all I mean all these I mean whether it's Megan McCain or order Jenna Bush or war blue. Luke what looks and I mean new father actually it was a journalist but -- but. So was the soles of my daughters could say the same thing about I would I don't I don't. Getting tired of them did and in DC. With that we get off the year out at his desk of president -- news -- -- I got caught underneath I want him to call me like he called Chelsea Clinton but. They're calling him. Who put that they get to that did. I book that is about all through the insult to Clinton because she -- well the other -- -- -- QB Chelsea Clinton's done a lot of public speaking. They get they get a cooperative. You know I think. Regularly get a producer anybody can be presentable on TV. -- is not life or should users -- you set the throat to that you just have to read some off to but you know brought a teleprompter to throw out of the package to take package that you had nothing to do it. That's right as we we like to say our audio will take care of that post -- that the. Joseph and you're next with how -- car and Max -- go ahead Joan. Try Macs in Cali I have a quick question how do come on give me a program to get on demand for example I like pertinent in traps to. The end of Connecticut bitterly -- I don't get a chance to watch it it's not time to Meehan now. It's those all those deals are made. Between the studio that produces the show the network it's running and the cable system -- what they decide to put on demand and what date they decide to hold back. And they're unfortunately or fortunately for us the viewers. The audience there's not apparently -- substandard what goes way here and it's I know it can be -- can be terribly frustrating. I would say time to get it to invest in the DVR or -- code go to best buy and -- Tivo and and and record shows that. Thanks for the call -- 18774694322. How about the blades. The way it's gonna have to check on that one silk stockings. So dark scene -- -- million years ago or a excited. Thank you -- -- they -- their commitment I'll be back.
