WBEZ 91.5 Chicago

Longtime listeners likely remembered the comedic style of Jimmy Carrane. Carrane hosted the comical, partly improvised, show-within-a-show

Last night Jane Lynch won the Emmy for Supporting Actress in a Comedy for her role as Sue Sylvester on Glee. While she certainly deserves this honor, the question remains- Would she be this successful if she'd never appeared on Studio 312?

Jimmy Carrane and Studio 312 are now available as a podcast. Just sign up and you'll never have to seek out the show ever again. After we shot the above video, Jimmy climbed on my desk and wouldn't leave until I did a 5 question interview with him. So here it is after the jump:

If you've seen Public Enemies, you've seen Studio 312 host Jimmy Carrane flex his acting muscles. Remember the scene when Dillinger is locked up in Crown Point, Indiana? Remember the janitor who Dillinger tricks into letting him out of his cell?

Thanks to everyone who pledged their support to Chicago Public Radio this past drive. We made our goal. It's bittersweet because when pledge drive comes around, everyone wants to help out with video bits and fun projects for the blog. When it's over, the staff retreats into curmudgeon-ville.

A note to all my listeners, fans, and creditors.
