Mr. Media Interviews by Bob Andelman

From 2011: NBC News correspondent Kerry Sanders, is available to talk about his coverage of the Casey Anthony murder trial that is wrapping up in Orlando, Florida. Kerry has been NBC's Miami-based correspondent since 1996, covering news mainly in the South and throughout Latin America. You have seen his memorable coverage of stories such as Hurricane Katrina and Hurricane Andrew, the war in Kosovo, the Haitian military coup and the ATF military siege of the Branch Davidian compound in Waco, Texas.

From 2010: Gillian Jacob’s character, “Britta,” has grown as “Community” itself blossomed this season. When the show debuted, she seemed destined to be a one-noter whose sole purpose seemed to be swatting down blatant advances by McHale’s womanizing character Jeff. But as the weeks went on, the writers found better, smarter ways of putting her to work, expanding Britta into as fully formed a person as everyone around her-including the more evolved Jeff.

When I finished watching Daniel Cross’s new documentary I Am the Blues, what I really wanted – besides an immediate trip to the Mississippi Delta – was a soundtrack album. It is the sounds of this wonderful guide to the backwoods of Louisiana and Mississippi that will stay with you – haunting, electrifying and thrilling anyone with a musical soul. Cross provides an introduction to blues veterans that still live in the American deep south and made their livings and reps for decades on the Chitlin’

From 2011: This is my second interview with "Outsourced" actor Rizwan Manji, whose wedding story wrapped up the first and only series of a great sitcom, "Outsourced" on NBC.

From 2011: Today, I’m excited to welcome to the show, Rizwan Manji, one of the upcoming stars of "Outsourced," which airs Thursdays at 10:30 p.m. on NBC. He plays Rajiv, the don’t-screw-with-me “manager” – in name only – of the India-based call center of an American novelties manufacturer.

From 2012: Actress Sharon Leal is a woman loosed… and on the verge. A review of the one-time "Guiding Light" star’s recent credits support this, with ever more visible roles. That was her in two Tyler Perry movies, Why Did I Get Married and its sequel. And she’s been all over TV, including runs on “Boston Public,” “Private Practice,” “Hellcats” and two episodes of one of my recent favorites, USA’s “Suits.” Since this interview, she recurs on "Supergirl" and has a lead in "Instinct" w

From 2007: You have to be pretty damn good at what you do for someone to name you Joltin’. The name stuck to Joltin’ Joe DiMaggio, of course, and is also part of the eternal legend of Joltin’ Joe Sinnott. Unless you’re a comic book fan, you may not know Sinnott. But if you recognize the names of Stan “The Man” Lee and Jack “King” Kirby, Joltin’ Joe will be forever connected to their accomplishments. Lee wrote the stories, Kirby drew them, and Sinnott inked them.

“The Switch” – a new transgender TV sitcom from creator Amy Fox, who also co-stars in it – is about being true to who your heart tells you that you are… even if your biology and anatomy are a little at odds on the issue. In other words, to quote the great creator of Looney Tunes cartoons, Chuck Jones: “Pronoun Trouble!”

At some point, I assume we’re going to get a documentary titled "I Am Jordan Brady, Comic." Brady, a sometime comic, has made several documentary films over the last decade following standup comedians in their lives on and off the stage. These include I Am Comic, I Am Road Comic, and his latest, I Am Battle Comic. In the new film, Brady is once more behind the camera and occasionally in front of it, this time going on tour with comedians entertaining American troops in live battle zones overseas.

Did you catch any episodes of the limited series “Downward Dog” this summer? I know you hear this about a lot of great shows these days – “Better Call Saul,” “Veep,” “Silicon Valley,” “Master of None,” and so on – but this Dog really is special. It’s narrated by a voice like none other, in fact: it’s Martin – the show’s star – a devoted and neurotic rescue dog.
