In The CAn with JR DiGS ?

I have a new website being designed that will replace my blog here this coming January when all new episodes shot from the van go back on the air. The site will feature lots more video so I've kinda been getting the ball rolling over the last couple weeks by posting some video each week for you guys to check out.

The footage I've posted here this week is from an episode of In The Can with JR DiGS because this weekend, an episode from that series is on the air. It looks like I might have the opportunity to produce a second season of this independently produced series of mine. I was hoping that if I aired a few episodes over the next couple weeks I might get lucky and pull some ok ratings which would really help me in my final pitch to get the series picked up.

One of the most memorable people I met while shooting season one of In The Can with JR DiGS was a kid named Cody at a high-school where one the the short films was shot. Here is some footage from that episode, check it out.......

This weekend on the show.....

I am out of the van and indoors this weekend on the show. Its fun shooting my latenight talkshow from my van but mostly is a really cheap and easy way to keep the show on the air without having any sort of budget to work with. What I really have been hoping for all these years is that some bigshot suit at the Network would see the potential in what I have been doing all this time with no staff and no budget and maybe give me a shot at doing a latenight talkshow in this Country that people would actually watch.

I shot a few shows not from the van but in a makeshift studio so that I could create kind of a pilot episode to pitch to the network.  Its kind of pointless I know but at least I get to air these shows for you guys to see. Here is some of what will air this weekend......

REMEMBRANCE DAY

Don't forget to wear a poppy on your coat today guys. If you don't know anyone who was in the war and deserves to be thought of to day, maybe just take a second or two in honor of my Grandpa who served in the war and was introduced to many of you on my show.

WENDY

This past week, I realized maybe for the first time since I started shooting and working on my latenight show that there actually are things in my life that are more important to me than the show and this relentless and all consuming quest I've been on for the last eight plus years.

My blog on the internet here or my facebook page are great places to stay connected to fans and friends or to maybe at times even vent a little about whats on my mind sometimes. For me though, its just not a place to talk too much about anything real intimate or meaningful on a personal level. Some thoughts I guess are just too personal or meaningful to be lumped in with blogs about my show. I hope most of you can appreciate and understand that.

Wendy who died this past week after a long battle with Cancer, was the person most responsible for the tele-marketer calls I have been recording and putting at the end of my show under the credits all these years. For years before I had a show on television, I use to screw with the tele-marketers who would call at dinner time just because it made Wendy laugh. The camera I use to this day to record calls with is the camera Wendy bought me. It was the first digital video camera I ever had and it still works great. One of the first tele-marketer calls I ever recorded and put in my first show on the air was shot with Wendy behind the camera.

This is the footage we recorded......
