I love what Mark Belling said on his show yesterday: if you’re really talented and people recognise it, you aren’t working this week. Really talented people, he says, don’t work between Christmas and New Year’s. So, Belling finds himself working, filling in for Rush Limbaugh, and I find myself working too, filling in for Keith & Juanita. This week would appear to be, then, the litmus test of talent and the pecking order in broadcasting.
Ouch.
