Hey guys,
I subscribed a while ago, but I've never really
written anything. But I came across something in an
interview with Paul Thomas Anderson, the director of
the movie Magnolia, where he talked about Salinger and
I thought you people might be interested:
What was it that attracted you to the world of game
shows?
I’d worked once as a P.A. on a game show called Quiz
Kid’s Challenge, an update of an old radio show. Part
of my job was to go through and edit together
videotape of all the kids they’d interviewed across
the country as potential contestants. Doing that
really linked up with the J.D. Salinger short stories,
with the Glass Family, and their involvement with a
show like Quiz Kids. This idea of, hey, let us go
through you and pick your brain and use it for
entertainment. All that, coupled with wanting to see
Philip Baker Hall do a new kind of role, and
especially to see him do something like a game-show
host.
Not all that amazing, but just shows the influence of
Salinger I guess.
Bye,
Adrienne
