Anytime with Bob Kushell is a five-minute talk
show produced for
Sony Pictures
Television and their online portal "
Crackle.com". The show
consists of a single monologue joke, a field-piece/desk bit, and a
celebrity interview. It is hosted by Emmy-nominated writer
Bob Kushell, and is co-created and directed by
Russell Arch.
The show also has a "house band" which consists of members from
The Four Postmen, as well as writer
Ron
Rappaport.
The show was conceived after Kushell and Arch produced a popular
video entitled
The Strike, Your Marriage, and You and
a behind-the-scenes "sequel"
The Healing during the
2008 Writers Guild of
America Strike.
Two "pilots" were produced in April 2008, and subsequently sold a
26 episode season that started airing on December 18, 2008 and will
continue through June 2009.
The show
is taped in an actual 17' x 18' garage in Van Nuys,
California
.
