When he discusses TV, however, he sounds more like the prophet Isaiah, with a vision of glory in his eye. "Eventually," he says, talking about his specials, "it will be essential to do 50 a year, 50 a month. Just by the sheer doing of it-and having it come directly out of live theater-we'll be setting up a whole cultural movement...
