I think - no, I'm sure - 'Coast to Coast' wouldn't work with a daytime audience.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
To be on 'Coast to Coast,' you have to be willing to stay awake in the middle of the night. But in return you get a great audience of millions of listeners all across the nation.
I've wanted to be in daytime television for a long time, because that's where you can convey a message.
Daytime has been successful all these years because it caters to a very real need in the audience - to see something that's not nighttime fantasy. People watch daytime because it's like their lives.
The challenge in daytime in particular, I think, is to go against all the traditional cliches of daytime and try to make it real.
It would be difficult to write a convincing ghost story set on a sunny day in a big city.
The audience should go out and see 'Shark Night 3D' because you can bring your whole family.
I've done a show at the Largo Theater called The 'Thrilling Adventure Hour.' We read, like, radio teleplays. It's a send-up of radio dramas from the '30s and '40s. We just did a Kickstarter for that so that we can do a web series and a concert film.
The fact is that daytime television is less valued than nighttime, and it's partly because of the product that we produce. We do a one-hour show in 12 hours. Nighttime produces a one-hour show in seven to nine days.
I was a regular on 'Holby City,' and I did daytime; that's how I started off. Off in Hong Kong doing stuntman stuff, then coming back to England doing daytime soap operas.
I don't know enough about daytime, I think, to say anything.
