...brief, Markus has made the show specific enough to Nightline to satirize the genre but general enough to life to tap the comic angst of the human condition. Watch, and you'll see one from each of the major office types: the tightly coiled executive producer (played by Miguel Ferrer of Twin Peaks), who humors Freundlich with drunken promises of future anchordom written on a cocktail napkin; the booker (Sanaa Lathan), who reports that the Pontiff is unavailable but she has on hold the guy who shot him.

This was just the fieldwork. Coe also chose scripts, fought with sponsors over the hiring of blacklisted actors, scoured the theater scene for talent.

...journey through the new world reordering" is what TIME executive editor Joe Ferrer called the itinerary for the first of our 11 Newstours to circle the globe. We chose destinations that would let us explore the dynamics of countries facing tough transitions, primarily from socialism to freer markets and from autocracy to greater democracy. After a briefing in Washington by CIA Director John Deutch and five other senior officials, the Newstour went to Cuba, Russia, India, Vietnam and Hong Kong before heading home. During a period when isolationism is rising in the U.S., we wanted this Newstour to emphasize Time...
