| It's in the post you replied to and they are part of the planning, even if the appearances aren't announced ahead of time. | |

| I don't exactly understand what you are saying. I corrected the wording in my earlier post. Is that your objection? I'm kind of puzzled by your posts. | |

| I'm just agreeing with writerkev, at least how I read his post. I don't think they're just stopping by on their own. | |

| I replied to writerkev this morning with an example of what I was talking about. Here's another one: Mon. morning, 6/08/09 -- Mika and Joe discuss the previous evening's Tonys, show a clip of Aaron Tveit performing something from Next to Normal (probably "I'm Alive"), praise the show, and lament his not receiving a Tony nomination. Later that week during one of their heated political discussions with other commentators, Joe is tapped on the shoulder by a male figure (unshaven, dressed in sweat pants, sleeves, backwards baseball cap) -- it's Tveit, who looks into the camera, waves, says "thanks, guys for the shout out", and departs. Joe then smiles, looks into the camera, and says "And that, ladies and gentlemen, was Aaron Tveit from Next to Normal". Maybe it was staged, but all 4 commentators looked surprised and then amused. Again I have no idea of how booking and publicists work, but it seems improbable that MSNBC would send a limo to Queens and chauffer Tveit (dressed like he's heading to softball practice) to the studio for that type of 5-second appearance. Just sayin'. |

| She seems to be saying someting like what I said. For you to suggest that Sally Field gets herself up in the morning and wanders over to the studio and just pops up on TV is, frankly, the height of naivety. Those appearances are pitched and arranged by publicists after conversations with producers and boomers, then the stars are accompanied (often chauffeured) to the studio. They don’t just pop in. | |

| Here's what I'm talking about: Late spring, 2013 -- Mika, Joe, Willie Geist, and Mike Barnicle are seated around a table, deep in debate about a pressing political issue -- suddenly a guy, unshaven, sloppily dressed (shorts, baseball sleeves, backwards baseball cap), bursts in, grabs a sweet roll, takes a bite out it, proceeds around the table, drawing a mustache on each of their coffee cups with a magic marker, faces the camera -- it's Tom Hanks of course -- and comically shouts: Go see my show Lucky Guy at the Broadhurst Theatre and departs. That's what I mean by "drops by". Staged? I don't know -- could be. My immediate impression -- spontaneous. |

| OK, now I get it. I totally misinterpreted your post and answered it without putting any real thought into it. All I'm saying is the celebrity appearances are unannounced, casual, and usually brief -- nothing like what you would see on Fallon or Colbert. There is no performance. Sometimes the guys like Hanks or Tveit actually look kind of grubby. Maybe this is all put-on -- it doesn't seem to be scripted. The last time Hanks was on, he went around putting a mustache on everyone's coffee cup. I do not pretend to know how the show is actually put together -- I was just posting my impressions. | |
