The P.A. Coming To Fuse

July 31, 2006 11:01:00 by Joe Blackmon

Pity the lowly production assistant. To get a foot in the door of the exciting world of music television, they are required to perform an endless multitude of menial tasks—tasks which include the requisite runs for coffee and pizza, the boss’ dry cleaning and of course, emptying waste baskets and color collating scripts.  Once in a while, there’s a brush with fame…when they get to walk (and clean up after) the pit bull owned by the mega-selling rapper who drops by the fuse studio. And with every task, there’s a steady chorus of well-meaning ribbing, as the new guy or girl pays their dues in hopes of moving up the corporate ladder.  Introducing Josh Taub—fuse’s real-life production assistant.  Josh, along with his buddy Dave Murden, are the unlikely creators of fuse’s new weekly series The P.A.

Ghani & Stallone Families On Wife Swap

July 30, 2006 11:01:00 by Joe Blackmon

Each week, from across the country, two families with very different values are chosen to take part in "Wife Swap." In a two-week challenge, the wives from the two families exchange husbands, children and lives (but not bedrooms) to discover what it’s like to live a very different woman’s life. It’s a mind-blowing experiment that often changes their lives forever. This week, in "Ghani/Stallone," an earthy new age mother in an inter-racial family — who meditates more than she cleans — swaps lives with a traditional suburban mom who’s devoted to children and cleaning, on "Wife Swap," airing MONDAY, JULY 31 (8:00-9:00 p.m., ET) on the ABC Television Network.
