Chicken and Beer

A new, KC-based late night talk show debuting sometime on some local TV station might actually be kind of good. Or maybe that’s all the free screw-top wine and Busch Light talking.

Anyway, I went last night to the taping of After Hours, hosted by Darron Story and Cara Kahn. It was filmed last night in a KCPT studio room, although it’s not clear which TV station will pick it up. About 50 people showed up to be part of the studio audience, some of us lured by the many bulletins sent from After Hours’ MySpace page in recent weeks.

The free reservations included a chicken dinner, plus your choice of Busch Light, Bud Lite or screw-top wine. While that was a nice gesture, no amount of booze could atone for the boring experience of sitting in on a television recording.
