He had no real advertisers. How could these people (whoever they were) keep putting money into something that would bring them no return?<br /><br />There was, and is, no program on TV with the likes of All Night with Joey Reynolds. He had a fantastic eclectic group of guests - people we'd never get to see and know otherwise. We looked forward to each night's show and never missed one. <br /><br />The show was indeed amateurish and not professionally done - but in a way, that's what made it so "real" and likeable. There's no doubt, however, that it needed to be honed up and that Joey needed to keep his mouth closed more often than not. The show was definitely a "breath of fresh air" and a throwback to shows that were done "live." Joey messed up, his backers got fed up, and his loyal viewers are now up the stream without a paddle.zeldafitz1https://www.blogger.com/profile/11689010967457679782noreply@blogger.com
