Because
The Not So Late Show airs only on the Knology cable system's Channel 6, the chance that most folks outside Lawrence have heard of the new program is pretty slim. Host Mike Anderson mans the desk for a talk show that, when it's firing on all cylinders, recalls the early days of Conan O'Brien. The man has experience behind a mic, having hosted college radio station KJHK 90.7's sex- and romantic-advice program
Kansas in Heat for five years. The show tapes on Wednesday afternoons and evenings, depending on guest availability, so you might see a live performance by the Noise FM or an interview with community exercise guru Don "Red Dog" Gardner. This week's taping is from 2:45 to 3:30 p.m. at Free State Studios (644 New Hampshire, in Lawrence, 785-832-6376). To book a seat in the audience, send an e-mail to
