Interesting.
'In 1996, Madeleine Smithberg and Lizz Winstead created a fake news show for Comedy Central. It was intended to be a caustic parody of infotainment-laden television news programs.
"When we were developing the show, we wanted to reveal, as they did in Broadcast News with William Hurt and Ted Baxter [on The Mary Tyler Moore Show] that these people, these [news anchors], are merely shells of the people who work really hard and give them the info behind the scenes."
The host of the show, Craig Kilborn, was a pretty boy from Minnesota, by way of ESPN. One of the original correspondents, Beth Littleford, remembers him as being "dumb as wood." Which might explain why Kilborn thought it was a good idea to piss off one of the show's executive producers during an Esquire interview:
"There are a lot of bitches on the staff, and, hey, they're emotional people. You can print that! You know how women are -- they overreact. It's not really a big deal. And to be honest, Lizz does find me very attractive. If I wanted her to blow me, she would."
Years later, Beth Littleford would respond in an interview with the Toronto Sun: "NO one would give the man a blowjob! NO one who was in their right mind who was not on drugs or under coercion would give the man a blowjob! That's my opinion."'
