After a brief respite last week (a guy's gotta eat turkey), the blogged summaries of my misadventures in TV land continue. Stumbling into the WWL studio every Thursday morning feels like the continuation of a dream — and not just because I'm bleary-eyed and usually still half asleep. There's something comically nightmarish about a morning news set. First off, the glaring lights and broad grins are straight out of Soundgarden's "Black Hole Sun" video. Then there's the gaggle of oddly costumed performers that are always warming up for a spot. I'll never forget wondering into a group of uniformed baseball players gathered in a corner reciting lines — the cast of Damn Yankees, it turned out, but just another predawn hallucination as far as I was concerned. This week, the trancelike sounds of Rachel Van Voorhies' harp were a pleasantly new-age background soundtrack to Cajun chef Emile Stieffel's turkey-gumbo tips. And then my alarm went off.
