Jerry Bruckheimer to Discuss TAR on the Late Late Show

[Sonic-TARmaniac]

On the CBS.com Late Late show website, under Thursday, June 24th, it lists

Jerry Bruckheimer (The Amazing Race)

So I'm thinking that means that he will be discussing some Amazing Race 5 information tonight.

I can't stand the show, but if it's about TAR, I may be forced to watch... Or read about it if somebody chooses to transcribe what is said.

Hmm... I usually go to bed at 12:30... but tonight I guess I gotta stay up a little later!

Bruck has got so many other irons in the fire, the only reason I'd say it's likely is because of the CBS connection.

So he may spend a short time on it, and then discuss his 9000 other projects.

Plus he's the 2nd guest. He gets less time, right?

TAR is likely the only one of the 9000 projects tat debuts in less than 2 weeks. (LESS THAN TO WEEKS!!!! WOW!) The purpose of his booking may be to promote TAR.

Jerry Bruckheimer. My idol and hero (at least when it comes to television shows. I'm not that hip on his movies necessarily, but the man is a serious genius in the television genre)

[Krom]

As predicted, Brukie no speakie about TAR.

I hate being right. Not a word. Not even a mention in the intro. 3 or 4 of the other 8999 projects won out.

It wasn't a reapeat either. "King Arthur" was mentioned quite a bit. Hard to argue that's his expected cash cow this summer...

But there was an awesome new TAR commercial towards the late end of Letterman...so i don't think its a completely lost cause...

I almost stayed up to watch Jerry, but I'm glad I didn't. Phil usually makes the talk show rounds, though. When the show gets a little closer to premiering, of course.

Kilborn talked about how Bruckheimer was ranked #1 on Entertainment Weekly's 2003 Power List (issued last October). TAR has always been on the bubble as far as its getting on the air. I can't help thinking that having Jerry Bruckheimer as its executive producer was a major factor in CBS's decision to renew it. (i/e/ CBS wants to keep the executive producer of the CSI trilogy happy.)

But there was an awesome new TAR commercial towards the late end of Letterman...

That commercial included a lot of clips from previous series, including the awesome shot of Kevin and Drew running across the footbridge in front ot Victoria Falls. I distinctly remember this image from the first promo I saw before TAR 1 premiered. That image got me hooked and I haven't missed an episode since.
