This posting isn’t about radio.<\/span><\/p>\n

But a lot of radio people think they’re funny. <\/span><\/p>\n

Some of them actually are.<\/span><\/p>\n

Each year Ken Levine<\/strong> (M*A*S*H, CHEERS, FRASIER,<\/em> etc.) and I conduct an event for talented, creative people who want to experience what it’s really like to be part of a TV sitcom writing “room.”<\/span><\/p>\n

The event is called The Sitcom Room<\/a>. <\/span><\/p>\n

We’ve just announced the dates, October 26 – 27,<\/strong> but we haven’t yet opened registration (which is limited to just 20 people).<\/span><\/p>\n

The event always sells out.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you’d like to be informed the day before we open registration — and thereby get a head start on the rest of the world — make sure you’re on our Sitcom Room Alert List<\/strong>, which you’ll find at the bottom of this page<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n

It’s a very cool event. Over the years, we’ve even had several radio people attend (including one very funny <\/span>guy from Austria).<\/span><\/p>\n

You’ll find all the information here<\/strong><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
