From 1999 to 2004-ish, I was one of the contributing writers for Garrison Keillor's renowned radio show "A Prairie Home Companion." I learned a lot of things there, mostly how to spell 'prairie." It was a solid gig and I'm proud of my work there. But, like any other job, there were...things...
Well, here's a silly bit I had totally forgotten about mocking the reality show craze. It's a pretty good late-career submission to PHC. I think what triggered the sketch was a show that was going to be about picking a director to make a film...wash it Project Greenlight? or some such thing. Anyway, they went on and on about directors and I decided to go with a real WGA-twist to create the most boring really show ever; watching writers write. On radio! The SFX of typewriters makes me chuckle as I reread it. Maybe I can do this as an AI bit, just lose the celebrity judges...
