Ryan takes the show on the road
On today’s radio show, Jimmy Kimmel called in to talk to Ryan about recording his show on his laptop after a power failure in his studio left him without a control room or cameras but with guests and an audience. It was Jimmy’s idea to go ahead and carry on anyway, and he said it took a little while before his staff realised he wasn’t joking and intended to do the show that way! Jimmy suggested that Ryan do his show through a soup can and string … and Ryan said they may be doing that shortly:
And, would you believe it, a short time later Ryan and Ellen were broadcasting live from the road as they made a crazy dash through LA traffic to the Burbank office because with almost unbelievable comedy timing, the studio computers had failed. This was the funniest thing I’ve heard on the show for a while! As a fan of the old Radio 1 Roadshows, I’ve often wished Ryan and his crew would take their show on the road, but I never meant it quite so literally.
After they made it to Burbank, fortunate to be in one piece from the sound of it, Ellen said it was interesting to see what people picked up when they left in a hurry. Corinne takes a sharpie and highlighter, Dennis all his paperwork and backpack, Ellen grabbed her water and Ryan took his coffee, which didn’t have a lid. The sound quality obviously suffered while Ryan was talking from the car, but it didn’t matter. Content is most definitely still king.
Jimmy accepted full responsibility, but had a reassuring word or two for Ryan:
I am so sorry Ryan. Had I known I was infectious, I would not have called. Fortunately, hair gel is a natural antibiotic @RyanSeacrest
