Ira Glass struggling with a TV version of "This American Life"

Glass0317
Longtime public radio producer Ira Glass is working on a televised version of his popular NPR program, This American Life, and the transition is proving difficult, writes Laurence Zuckerman in the New York Times:



"Glass, along with a director, an editor and a producer were camped in an editing studio near Canal Street in Lower Manhattan at 2 a.m. earlier this month, making the last push to finish the 40-minute pilot of This American Life for Showtime. 'This is everything that is really slow about production, times 500,' Glass moaned, summing up the four-month process." Read the article.

Ira Glass and Terry Gross will make their Celebrity Series debuts together at Symphony Hall on April 9, 2006.
