John Edwards on HSN?

Just been to the Great Fake's website, his management don't seem to take kindly to anybody analysing what he is doing:

"We are sorry, there is no audio recording, video recording or photography allowed at any of John's events.
If you bring a camera or recording device it will be taken away from you or dismantled and the film, memory cards video tapes or audio tapes will be taken. Digital recorders cannot be dismantled so they will be taken."

I understand your point and agree.

However, that policy is true for most live non-sporting events.
 
His show on WE is hilarious. I've read in several places that his tapings are a lot longer than the actual show, and so it's edited down to the more successful parts. Watching the show, it's hard to imagine how some parts could be any less accurate.

One I remember, he asked a whole crowd of several hundred people "Who had someone die from a car bomb? I'm seeing a car bomb. An explosion, with a car...". I think I fell asleep, anyway, 45 seconds later, he was down to "car accident", when some woman jumped up excitedly and knew who he was "communicating" with, as he had died in a head-on car accident. Edward asked if the impact could possibly have caused an explosion, which she didn't think happened. He quickly changed it to "a loud noise like an explosion" when the cars hit... as if any head on collision that causes a death wouldn't be loud.

Exactly why i highlighted the point about their reluctance to allow recording.
Agreed, these restrictions are widespread, usually to prevent distribution of home-made recordings of, say, a concert. It just so happens that this norm also protects Edwards from having the unedited dross in his shows being broadcast.
