The Orson Welles Show - Unaired Pilot burt reynolds

zeroheadroom.com presents Part 2 of 2 of Drive By TeleTheater: The Unaired Pilot of Orson Welles Chat Show from 1979 interview with Burt Reynolds. The talk show experience that you thought you'd always wanted. Alas, in the tradition of Twilight Zone this one turns out to be a case of "Be careful what you wish for." This take on the chat show format is something akin to his own grandiose and bloated take on what a talk show should be. He manages to snag a good guest list like Burt Reynolds, Frank Oz, Jim Henson and Angie Dickinson. But instead of doing the formula, "So what are you working on..." questions, the entire Q&A is opened up to the audience to ask either Burt Reynolds or Orson Welles whatever they'd like. Jim Henson & Frank Oz show up to do some Muppets gags before they "lift the curtain" and show them seated with their hands working their Muppet magic. Finally, Angie Dickenson comes on stage and fires a gun at Orson Welles in an overproduced magic routine that later re-appeared in Orson Welles' Magic Show. Technically, the show is all over the place. It's all very deconstructionist a-la F For Fake and the editing is out of control. It sounds like a fascinating and bold experiment but ends up somehow being an extremely uncomfortable hour-plus of television non-entertainment. Sometimes, there are indeed good reasons for the studios to shelve a project and to never air the pilot. A bold experiment that went bad
