First the good news. Starting next week just about every show on television that isn't already into repeats or on hiatus will go on hiatus or into repeats for the holidays, including Studio 60. That means that live blogging will go on hiatus too.
Don't worry. It won't go into reruns. Maybe it'll be replaced on the schedule by a holiday special or two.
Lance Mannion Live Blogs the Blonde and the Mannion Boys Baking Christmas Cookies!
Anywho...
The bad news is that tonight's episode of Studio 60 is not a repeat so there will be live-blogging.
Wait. It gets worse.
Back by popular demand, as you live-blogging host we'll have...
Drum roll.
Me.
Sorry. Everybody I asked turned me down. They all had the same excuse. Something about having lives to live...
But I've got some fun guest hosts lined up for January, and I'm going to do some special West Coast live blogs.
In the meantime, I'll be here tonight at 9:55 PM Eastern, 8:55 Central. Hope to see you then.
And, remember, kids. NO LURKING!
You asked everyone? You sure?

Wait a second!!! YOU have to bake... not the Blonde or your young men... I believe the rules said, "YOU"... No fair sending in ringers, Lance. I throwing a flag out right now.

That should be "I'm throwing"... I was so beside myself with your confession of blatant cheating that I couldn't even type.

velvet goldmine: "You asked everyone? You sure?"
I bumped into Aaron Sorkin late this afternoon and he asked me why Lance kept calling him. I told him it was best he not answer.
So, I'm guessing, yes, he asked everyone.

VG, Domoni,
Are you both hinting around for a guest hosting gig? Just say the word...
Jennifer,
Cheating would be if I entered their cookies under my name. They'll get the credit and the rewards when they win! Ha ha ha ha!

I really enjoy reading as you liveblog Studio60, but I couldn't wait, and already downloaded it, and without some excitement on the blog side, eh..it isn't that exciting an episode. So see you in January!

Hey, I'm sure the Blonde and the Young Mannions will do a fiiiine job of baking... but win??!?!? Bah!
Hey, at least I'm doing my OWN baking... I'm not making my poor, beleaguered family members do it for me... and believe me... Grizzled could do a fine job... Harrumph.
They really need a raspberries key on the ol' keyboard.

Who me? I can barely type my name live.
If Mrs. -Domoni decides to wait until Wednesday to watch Heroes I'll be live here watching Studio 60.

You're such a sneaky rat, Lance... (and I say that in the kindest of ways). You know it goes against my grain to compete with children or my fellow women... (Fellow women... there must be a more female-appropriate term). But, since I know they are only doing your dirty work, I'll bring it. Uh-hmmm.

I wish I could be interested in watching to help you live blog, but the re-runs of Six Feet Under are more appealling... Plus my roommate won't give me the remote back.
