A little enter-news-ment about "Shoot The Messenger"



We've been getting emails lately from friends who have attended Shoot The Messenger multiple weeks in a row, wanting to know how so much new material goes in every week.

Well, a talented cast, writing staff, and crew certainly helps. And having the co-creator of the Daily Show as the brains and soul behind the operation is a big plus.

LOL!

I was joking about that LOL. I'm sorry for it. :(

Anyway...the above piece, SAVE THE BANKS, is a great example. It was written by the STM hive-mind last Sunday, built and voiced that same night, debuted the next day live on during one of Emily Rackcheck's (aka Darbi Worley) newsbreaks...and by Wednesday, the link had made it to the popular progressive political site Crooks and Liars.

And the magic continues this Monday with a whole new episode of America's favorite six hour morning show (30 mins. content), Wake Up World with Hope and Davis. Followed by a half-hour interview with comedian, actress, writer Susie Essman (Curb Your Enthusiasm).

Besides Lizz Winstead and Baron Vaughn as show helms Hope and Davis, every show features DAW's own Carol Hartsell in an interview segment as insidious life-expert Dana Levan as well as Sean Crespo as anti-Keith Olbermann, the Complication Room's Daniels Midland in an opinion smackdown with "infant terrible" and host of Barbarians At The Gates Hunter Carlsbad, played by baby-faced, Tucker Carlson-mocking genius and long-time DAW favorite Lucas Held.

If you haven't checked the show out yet, now is the time. We recommend getting advance tickets on-line to avoid missing out. And don't forget to check out the article about Shoot The Messenger in the NY Times' Arts & Leisure section on Sunday March 29th.
