Connick aims for that breezy Dean Martin vibe
DAVID BAUDER
The Associated Press
NEW YORK — Odd as it seems to
take inspiration from a television
host legendary for his lack of
preparation, Harry Connick, Jr.
and the team making his new
daytime talk show all cite Dean
Martin as a model.
Connick’s show, Harry, debuts
Monday (check local listings) with
Sandra Bullock as the first guest.
Amy Adams, Renée Zellweger
and Terrence Howard are all
scheduled for the first week,
along with a few all-star cameos.
Martin, whose prime-time variety show ran on NBC in the late
1960s and 1970s, fostered an air of
easy informality in part because
the singer had it written into his
contract that he only needed to
show up when the show was taped
each week.
Rehearsals? Who needs them?
“Half the fun was watching
him read off the prompter,” said
Justin Stangel, who produces
Harry with his brother, Eric, both
graduates of David Letterman’s
Late Show. “He’d laugh, and the
audience would laugh, because
they knew he knew he had no idea
what was coming up next.”
Martin didn’t like the day-to-
day grind of making television.
Connick doesn’t mind working —
he ripped through a series of
promotional announcements one
afternoon this week at his sprawling new studio on Manhattan’s
West Side — but wants to preserve a sense of spontaneity. He
dispenses with guest pre-interviews, the chore staff usually
does to script out a talk show
appearance.
For a recent taping, the show’s
lead guest was caught in traffic
and late. Instead of waiting, the
show began at the appointed hour
with the audience in on the running mystery of whether the guest
would show up at all.
On another show, Connick
noticed a woman sitting where
he normally entered the stage
and he played off that, inviting
her to his piano to sing Happy
Birthday to her kids at home.
“I live for that,” Connick said.
“Some performers might be
thrown by that, and I get it. Some
of the best performers in the
world are thoroughly rehearsed.
But I’m exactly the opposite.”
He’s a natural wit, and learned
to roll with the punches through
dozens of record albums, movies
and a judge’s stint on American
Idol. Connick once had a concert
Harry Connick Jr.’s daytime talk show, Harry, debuts on Monday.
in rural Pennsylvania where no
one showed up, but the promoter
made him perform anyway. Word
spread, and two people came for
the night’s second show.
“I love the feeling of a catastrophe waiting to happen,” he said,
“because I’ve been in enough
catastrophes to know they’re not
really catastrophes.”
The approach is interesting,
said David Bianculli, a television
historian and author of the upcoming book, The Platinum Age of
Television. It will become apparent quickly if Connick has the
chops to be successful.
“Martin was talented enough to
pull it off,” Bianculli said. “It’s one
thing to say you want a loose
atmosphere. It’s another thing to
have the talent to pull it off. It can
be very casual and very dull.
There are a lot of shows that are a
lot of fun for people to do and not
so fun for people to watch.”
A more contemporary comparison is Ellen, another show that
works hard for its looseness. Connick is entering an arena where
there’s more failure than success,
but is probably the most high-pro-

file new show in syndication this
year, said Bill Carroll, an expert in
that market for Katz Media. One
early challenge is placement;
Harry is airing on Fox stations in
many big cities and is different
from the edgier fare that network’s viewers are more familiar
with, he said.
The New Orleans jazzman
struck up a friendship with the
Stangels through many guest
shots on Late Show. They initially
worked on making a sitcom for
Letterman’s production company,
turning to a talk show when that
fell through.
Connick’s nine-piece band will
be regulars on the show. He’ll sing
and play often, but not necessarily
every day. Musicians are certainly
welcome as guests, along with
Hollywood actors.
Producers believe the heart of
the show will be Connick’s interaction with fans. They sent a film
crew with Connick on a concert
tour recently, recording several
examples of a segment called
“I Got This,” where Connick lends
a hand to average folks.
Connick, for one, is ready to
have some fun.
“We all feel like this is a nighttime party in the middle of the
day,” he said.
