Jill got the shaft?
TheCableBox.net's forum reports here that Jillian Barberie has been fired from Good Day Live. I'm busy looking up info about the purported cancellation of "Living it Up! with Ali and Jack" so I can't look into this too much but what the heck is up with that? The forum's talkers say they found Jillian to be too much of a chatterbox and annoying, and bashing her co-hosts (like Dorothy Lucey) too much. Hmph. Isn't that the entire POINT of her being there and the show in general, to have this dialogue? One of the best "Good Day Live" episodes I ever saw was when Steve Edwards raised the question of why they were covering a story in the first place, and the producers threw out the rundown for a few minutes and an EP went on set with a microphone and they dished about why the story was important to their viewers et al. It was very deconstructionist but, for me, a TV geek and producer myself, it seemed to make good television, and I wish I had a copy of that show intact.
Confirmation of Jillian Barberie's firing TBA. Labels: Originally published
