I’ve often thought that a Mystery Science Theater version of the Corner could be pretty funny (if it worked, otherwise it would be horrendously lame).
But on a larger note, I get questions from readers all of the time about “Why don’t you have a TV or radio show?” Or, “Why don’t you go on show X or Y and set so-and-so straight?” I know other NROniks get these sorts of questions too. It’s all very flattering, but I try to tell folks that that’s not the way things work. Unless you’ve got the fire in the belly to be a TV star and are therefore willing to hustle and work to get a show, you have to wait until somebody offers you a shot. Ditto being invited as a guest or substitute host. Personally, while I’d certainly entertain offers to do that sort of thing, and I even have some ideas of what would constitute a good show, I really don’t have a burning, yearning passion to be infotainer.
