What you don't see behind the scenes

I had one of my biggest F-ups this weekend ever. I had an interview set up for the sunday morning show.. and left in the break before we came out to it (I was dealing with a few other issues) So for this 2 hour show.. we use one rundown.. copy it and float things that die from one hour to the next. So the interview was supposed to be off the top.. but the rundown didn't say that.. and I didn't tell the director. The anchor thought the interview was next.. and thought the weather guy was doing it.. so he left to go to a far bathroom.. because the near bathroom was out of order. Meanwhile.. the 1 studio guy we have on sunday's puts the cameras at the desk.. the director doesn't know that the anchor is gone.. and time is really ticking. the weather guys hates his IFB and wont wear it on the weekends.. and he knows things could get really ugly because the anchor's not there.. so he jumps behind the desk.. but by that time I'm back.. killing the stories at the desk and screaming for matt (the anchor in the far bathroom) so in the end we come out to byron (weather guy) and he has nothing to read.. save the intro to the interview.. which he reads.. while I'm pleading.. to no one in particular since he doesn't have an IFB.. to go to break. eventually he gets that the camera guy waving his arms means go to break.. and we go to commerical after saying " you know.. one of the best parts about the state fair is the food.. (pause to let it sink in)we'll be right back."
