My friend Mary O. called today. Mary and I worked together at KLOS and at the Comedy World Radio Network. She wanted to know if I had seen the promos for the new Fox show "Free Ride" co-starring comedian Allan Havey. At Comedy World, Mary and I worked on the Allan Havey Plus Assorted Co-Hosts Show during the week and on my show on weekends. Havey's co-hosts were Susan Olsen, Lisa Kushell and Sue Murphy (no relation).

Speaking of comedians, Terry Morrow reported yesterday that the very funny Ralphie May is coming back to Knoxville on April 22. Ralphie will do two shows (7:00 and 9:30 p.m.) at the Tennessee Theatre and film them for a DVD. How cool is that? Tickets go on sale tomorrow at 10:00 a.m.

Knoxville is a good place for TV production. Another comedy DVD was recorded at the Tennessee Theatre two months ago by Henry Cho. Two local production companies provide a ton of shows for various cable networks. Watch the credits for shows produced by RIVR Media and Jupiter Entertainment.
