     from All Things Considered, Monday, September 23, 2002
      Satirist Harry Shearer envisions a fictional Fox program based on
American Idol that catapults the concept beyond the upcoming American
Candidate program. Shearer's show is American Oncologist in which
contestants compete to be a cancer surgeon at a large hospital. Hijinks
ensue. (3:00)

Do you know if they asked whether he knew Maximillian Schell?

Why is this news? Harry's on NPR every week.

(Well, on the good affiliates, at least. And I'm not near one.)

well, you're right. They did mention his "other" program but I also never hear it. I only listen to Morning Edition and All Things Considered. Fresh Air once in a while, but I just don't like it most of the time
