			TRIVIA:	[•] With more than 15 years of broadcast journalism experience, Maureen O'Boyle was the first woman to solo host a nationally syndicated news magazine, serving as anchor of "A Current Affair."
				[•] In "In Person With Maureen O'Boyle" the opening montage gives the viewer a quick, 30-second summary of the entire show, including clips from the actual show of all of the guests making their "definitive" statements. We are then launched directly into a newsmagazine-style objective overview of the topic. As with other talk shows, a small stage is set in front of a large studio audience, on which the hosts present their spectacle to the cameras.
				[•] Each day a new topic is discussed, a new audience is in the crowd, and new guests are paraded on stage. To the viewer, the only point of reference from show to show is the set and host, not only making it perfect for reruns since there is not real linear trajection to each episode, but allowing the viewer to further distance themselves from the spectacle presented. We see a tight shot of Maureen O'Boyle, a former tabloid TV anchor, speaking directly to the camera, as the segment progresses, the camera pulls back to reveal the host and first guest having an "intimate conversation," in close quarters on-stage. The shots of Maureen interviewing her guest are intercut with quick close-ups of audience members listening intently. The audience participates making questions to the day's guest.
