Shannon In The Morning Big Show Daily Podcast

Brad Blanks talks to Sir Ian McKellen & Dame Helen Mirren together on the red carpet of their new suspenseful drama “The Good Liar.” Helen gives Brad some important advice at the end of the interview (she throws some serious shade!) and the big show reacts!

Plus two separate DA's of the day and a story so gross we will not explain here!

Scott may have spoiled the series finale of a big network TV show! He was at an event where the finale was being filmed and spilled the beans about what he saw without realizing it was the SERIES finale.

Game show expert Jason Block checked in to talk about Alex Trebek and the Jeopardy Tournament of Champions happening now.

We talk about the fallout from the MetLife Stadium Black Cat and try to figure out if Helen Mirren is or is not dating Keanu Reeves (she's not, but the conversation is funny!).

We had a surprise guest wander past the big show studio this morning, legendary Z-100 Disc Jockey Elvis Duran dropped in for a quick hello so we had to pull him in to talk about his new book!

Elvis’s book “Where do I Begin? Stories I sort of remember from a life lived out loud” is out now in stores and online at Amazon.com!

The book is great, but our only gripe is there’s no pictures! We talked about that and Elvis declares he wants to be the next CBS-FM morning show DJ! (HE’S GOTTA WAIT A WHILE!!)

He’s signing copies of the book at the Barnes & Noble in the Staten Island Mall (2655 Richmond Avenue) November 13th – get tickets at www.ELVISDURANBOOKDOTCOM

Brad Blanks ran the TCS New York City Marathon yesterday, finishing in 4 hours & 28 minutes!

When he got home, he asked two his kids, Harvey & Clementine to help him with some post marathon “maintenance” – they had to take off band aids from his nipples because he didn’t have the official bandages that runners wear! OUCH!

Hear all the reaction plus talk about Krispy Kreme, a guest on Fox News dropping a Jeffrey Epstein conspiracy theory right in the middle of a service dog PSA & confusion over Broadcast Traffic Professionals Day.

Apple TV+ debuts Friday with the premiere of their new series “The Morning Show” starring Jennifer Aniston, Reese Witherspoon & Steve Carell. Brad Blanks had an exclusive sit down with the stars of the show Jen & Reese, but first you'll hear a flashback:

Brad interviewed Jennifer Aniston & Adam Sandler on the red carpet for the 2011 movie “Just go with it” – Jen asked Brad to stand up from his crouching position and shocked her when she realized how tall he was! The video went viral!

After the flashback we hear Brad’s New Interview With Jen & Reese together plus big show reaction!

ABOUT THE MORNING SHOW:
