The Exile of the Maroon
I'm not sure which is funnier; that a group of fans of the cancelled Marc Maron show (formerly Frankennet's morning host) have set up their their own website...
Good Morning philosopher kings and queens, working class heroes, progressive utopians with no sense of humor, lurking conservatives.... Welcome to new refuge of displaced morning seditionists. Even if Morning Sedition is gone, we still have a lot of work to do, and a government to take back. And we damn well are gonna have a good time doing it.
...um, yeah...
...or that Marc Maron is going back on the air:
Brendan McDonald, Jim Earl and I have been working hard out here in the land where dreams come to die. We've been building the show, doing test shows, recording comedy bits, intros, outros, Jim songs (yes), finding new guests, and waiting to get on the air. It looks like we'll have a launch date next week.
KTLK's ratings are, by the way, atrocious - .9 overall, and Air America's late night lineup (Mike Malloy) around a 1.0.
Which is where Maron wants to go:
The show will be live here in LA from 10PM-12AM. I have no control over what the network does as far as making the show available. I assume that KTLK AM 1150 will offer a live stream but I also know that is too late for folks on the east coast.
Apparently all the execs at Air America
assure him they'll call back:
I know there were initially plans to use material from my show on the morning shows but we've sent stuff we've recorded to New York and they don't seem to be using it. We'll see what happens when the show gets going.
Yes, Marc. I'm sure we will.
Kind of reminds of the scene in Hitchhiker's Guide where the race of people on the "doomed planet" planned two waves of spaceships to evacuate their world. They built one spaceship for the first wave, filled it with all their most useless members, and sent it away, assuring them that the second wave was coming any day now.
"Suuure, Marc. Send us your skits. Send 'em to my other email address, mkay?"
Maron from 10 to midnight? Sure makes me all tingly.

You actually watched all of Hitchhiker's Guide?
Posted by: Kermit at April 11, 2006 07:46 AMI think this story is funny but I must disagree you on one point ... I think in the Guide there were 3 waves, not 2. So, a third of their population (the hair stylists) where in the "first of three waves".

Yes, but I was referring to the book.
RRD,
You're probably right; it's been nearly 20 years.
Posted by: mitch at April 11, 2006 10:03 AMDammit, Maron's got weeks and weeks worth of "Liberal Talking Points" and "Confessional" material he's going to have to catch up on! That's his first few hours right there. I've never heard anyone on radio so determined to get a bit done every. single. damn. day, regardless of whether he had anything to do with the bit that day or not.
