Morning Show

*Morning Show* is a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour,* and is set in Dimension AAA*.* It was the tenth segment created by Jerome Wetzel for the show, premiering in June 2018. This is the program's attempt at a fast-paced, message-based series, with the staff of a morning radio show injecting news into their comedy programming. A bit meta, no?

The producer is Shelly Meyers, the idea person and driver of the format change. She has obvious chemistry with the show's lead Pat Shock, whom she also knows how to talk into doing what she wants, appealing to his ego. Pat's co-host is goofy Gus Goodall, who is not happy with the changes Shelly is making.

And then, on the other side of the country, a contained zombie apocalypse strikes.

The show-within-a-show premiered in July 2019. It starts at 6AM each morning and runs until 10AM. There is an afternoon meeting to discuss tomorrow's show that ends at 3PM. By February 2020, it is the most listened to radio program in Columbus.

There is no official theme song, but the small music intro was composed and performed by Kristin Green.

### **Main Characters**

* Shelly Meyers played by Kristin Green. Shelly is driven and smart. Given the opportunity to produce the flagship morning show for a brand-new network, she took initiative and unilaterally changed the format. If it works, she has a bright future. If not...
* Pat Shock played by Keith Jackson. Pat is laid-back, and while he is driven by ego and wants to be a household name, that's far from his only motivating factor. He believes in complete honesty with those he works with.
* Gus Goodall played by Nathan Haley. Gus is the goofy co-host. He is not at all amused with Shelly's behavior, blaming her, rather than Pat, for the change moving forward.
* Lea Zichi played by Ashley Clements (guest season 1; lead season 2-on). Lea becomes the producer after Shelly quits. She also begins sleeping with Pat.
* Brooks Dylan played by Ryan Yohe (recurring seasons 1-2; lead season 3). Brooks is a demanding boss and owner of the station. His business dealings might be a little shady. He does admire Shelly, though, even as he wants to control her.

## **Episodes**

*See: list of Morning Show episodes.*

Season One ran from June 2018 through December 2020, for ten episodes, plus a *Packer & Ratcliff* crossover and a non-canon special.

Season Two began in February 2021 and picked up two months later, story-wise.

*Morning Show Seasons 1 & 2 Script Book* was published July 2023.
Officer Carmichael

Officer Carmichael is a character in *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*.

**Actor:** Amanda Iman

**Appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* "Desperate Times"

**Status:** Unknown, presumably still living in Brightside

Office Carmichael is asked by Marge and Anna to come to Kravitz Antiques because they swear they saw a monster in the store. While skeptical of the claim that monsters are real, she does go to investigate. She becomes suspicious of Daniel Kravitz's behavior, but stops her inquiry and escorts Marge and Anna out once Alexis Augustus Armentrout invokes his authority, which her station confirms.

She is professional and polite, and doesn't question authority.
Show LXXXV

Show LXXXV of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour* was performed live at Red Herring theatre on Saturday, July 16th, 2022 at 5PM. It was written by Jerome Wetzel and directed by Nick Arganbright. J.T. Walker was the foley artist. Jabar Cole served as show photographer.

The entire show was a single story, preceded by a speech from Jerome that was released on the podcast feed. The 7th anniversary special revived two cancelled segments, *Pornstar Detectives* and *The Scary Dead*. They had previously been established to occur in the same universe. This story picks up a few years after the series finales of both and is entitled *Cuckoo Courtney*.

## **Performers**

The show was narrated by Darren Esler, who also played a guard and a zombie extra.

Throughout the season, Kim's backstory with The Sting Ray is exposed, and in the 80-minute finale, Hella Zanni's motivations, as well as Greg's, are seen in flashback. Glamorous Gal is very much a part of this story, too.

The whole season takes place over a mere six weeks.

Adam Carson is not a lead this season, but does appear in three episodes, including the finale. Lt. Smith replaces him, though her not knowing who the Tangler is causes problems for Kim and Carl. Officer Vern also was no longer a lead, but appears a couple of times.

The opening of the show was a celebration of *The Nubes*' first anniversary, and featured the first time a *Nubes* guest appeared for a second time. In the commercials, it premiered a new segment called *Princess Patty* in the vein of *Cowboy Joe* and previous IABD-product pushers. The *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* "Conspiracy Theories" miniseries also concluded.

Since cast member Dan Condo returned from hiatus the previous month, there were new episodes of the two segments he stars in, *Itsahlbend Theatre* and *Life With a Voice Actor. Universe Journey* and *Space Dirt* also premiered new, connected episodes boasting the same title.

Guest star Anna Stiles was unable to attend at the last minute, so Darren Esler played her role in the live show. Anna later recorded lines for the podcast version of the segment.

Due to the pandemic, the audience was disinvited to the performance, making this the only monthly show to be done without viewers. Though, there was an audience of three made up of cast family members. The cast recorded with 6 mics set in a large circle.

Most of the equipment was borrowed from troupe member Nick Arganbright and his church.

Most of the cast members had met each other only once, at a rehearsal about a week and a half prior to the show day. In fact, the entire 'original' troupe had not yet been assembled, with Nathan Haley unable to make the first performance, and Wendy Parks not yet officially cast as Abby Reynolds.

Kelly (Dimension C)

*This article is for the character of Kelly seen in* Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*. Click for the Kelly from* Morning Show*.*

Kelly is a character in *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*.

**First appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #3.10 "Conspiracy Theories"

**Number of appearances:** 1 (as of April 2020)

**Actor:** Jerome Wetzel

## **Personality**

Kelly is a soft-spoken man with solid contacts. He is very good at getting information. The only friend he's known to have is Michelle Meyers, whom he works for, but isn't strict about being paid by. Most of the information Michelle has in her office was brought to her by Kelly. He is much neater, organizationally, than she is. Kelly believes in Michelle's work.

## **Story**

In 2021, Kelly arrives in Michelle's office with a key piece of information. It's a newspaper article about a group of camping adults that went missing in Montana ("Cult of B.O.B."). Tying it to other rumors, this is the final bit Michelle needs to pinpoint her query as being in Kalispell, Montana.

Michelle immediately sets off to investigate on the ground, but Kelly doesn't go with her. He says he is scared, but that is not why he isn't going, and she doesn't question him further. He sincerely asks her to be careful, which she isn't usually. They grab a bite to eat before she leaves ("Conspiracy Theories").

Originally, this show would have been Roulette 2, a shorts show. The script was completed for that show. Because of the online performance, only three of the shorts were left in this performance, with the others rescheduled (as they would work better live), and commercials were added. A new *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, not originally planned for this season due to actor availability, was written, and the existing June *Universe Journey* was moved earlier to this show. Several former troupe members and regular guests, who now live out of town, were invited back to take part. All roles were cast without auditions.

**Actor:** Darren Esler

## **Story**

When Rufus Reginald Rochester was fourteen, Quinton was part of a gang led by Derek that picked on Rufus. Quinton was a bit slow, not really getting innuendo until it was explained to him, and taking Algebra for the third time. Quinton did not like being made fun of. Rufus is gifted power by a demon and slams Quinton effortlessly into a wall, denting it, before the U.L.P. intervenes. It is unknown what happened to Quinton.

Quinton had last period with Rosalyn Roger Rochester, Rufus' big sister ("Young Rufus").
Novir

Novir is a character on *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. He was raised in Ukraine and keeps mostly to himself, and rarely speaks unnecessarily.

**First appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #3.03 "Recall Me, Maybe"

**Number of appearances:** 5

**Actor:** Nick Arganbright

## **Past**

Novir was trained by the monks at Kiev Pechersk Lavra in Ukraine. He was the last potential recruit shown to Cyril Davies and Bertram Oswalt Babbit when they came to tour the facility in early 2010, looking for recruits. He kept to himself and was hesitant to speak, even then.

It was Calleth Penrose, who was with Cyril and Bertram, that recognized something within Novir. He laid a hand on Novir's chest and, locking eyes, proclaimed:

*A kingdom under rubble. From the ashes, light eventually residing in the darkness. The harbinger of a great battle. The boy will be a mighty warrior. The gods foretell much lay in store of the heart of his future."*

Cyril and Bertram were impressed, but Novir, a teenager at the time, was not yet ready to leave. It is unknown if he ever joined up with them before they were removed from the organization's leadership ("Recall Me, Maybe").

## **Story**

Novir was one of fifteen trainees who lived in dorms and took classes at the U.L.P. ranch in Kalispell, Montana in 2019. He shared living quarters with Dawn Vaughn. He was skilled at combat, able to hold his own against Grezit the Green well enough to impress Rufus Reginald Rochester. Novir claims to not have a last name. For some reason, he also sweats less than most people. He respects his elders, and fine with paying his dues. He is foretold to have a great destiny ("Recall Me, Maybe").

One day, early in his training, spotted Calleth Penrose at the ranch and quickly went to him. Calleth did not initially acknowledge him individually, but allowed Novir and a couple of his classmates to assist him in preparing protection for the property. Before he left, Calleth put his hand on Novir's chest again and whispered into his ear. It is unknown what Calleth said ("Recall Me, Maybe").

Novir is frequently taken on missions, including confronting a crazy man in a barn ("Jant Braidley") and stopping a cross-species creature in Idaho ("Punch"). He does not have time for pop culture, preferring to focus on his training and studies ("Daniel Kravitz of Antique Shop vs. Geralt of Rivia"). This ignorance extends to athletes like Lebron James.

Novir fought when Monbo's army attacked the U.L.P. ranch. He coordinates well his fellows, at one point holding off both Dr'Foog and Pr-Pratt single-handedly. He enjoys the power of the Chosen One when Alfredo's spell grants him a limited amount of it. Novir approves of Grezit the Green's brutal fighting. Novir is one of only four trainees to survive the battle ("With Great Power...").

This was the month the show officially changed to an eighty-minute format, although Show XIII and Show XVIII were also longer than an hour.

Jesse Thorn of *Bullseye* and the Maximum Fun network became the show's first remote guest, pre-recording a role for *Universe Journey*. Ryan Estep built a physical representation of Jesse's character, a space probe. This part established the requirement that for any pre-recorded role, it must make sense to the live audience why they cannot see the person. Future pre-recorded guests would also have to meet that requirement.

Jeleen Santiago

Jeleen Santiago is a recurring character in *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. Jeleen is one of fifteen trainees who lived in dorms and took classes at the U.L.P. ranch in Kalispell, Montana in 2019.

The first time Jeleen's name is mentioned is when Jeleen is revealed to be one of only four trainees that survived Monbo's attack on the ranch ("With Great Power...").

**First appearance:** #4.01 "Two Worlds"

**Number of appearances:** 1

**Actor:** Megan Overholt
Johan

Johan is a character in *Privates*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*. He was Theodore's hired muscle in a plot to blackmail Dame Cordelia Bench. He is comfortable with the idea of murder.

**First appearance:** *Privates* #1.04 "Ex Marks the Spot Chapter 4"

**Number of appearances in *Privates*:** 4

**Actor:** Dan Condo

## **Personal Details**

Johan is a man of much muscle and few words. He grunts as much as he speaks, and appears to have a heavy accent of unknown origin.

## "**Ex Marks the Spot"**

Johan first appears to meet Jake Cotton and Frank Berry at the port of Dakar. He ushers them to Timbuktoo and Dame Cordelia Bench, posing as Cordelia's manservant, but in reality being her captor as much as theirs ("Ex Marks the Spot Chapter 4").

After Jake Cotton freshens up, he comes down to dinner and finds Johan. Keeping up appearances, Johan goes to fetch Jake a drink. He returns to find Jake in the company of Dame Judy Bench, Judy being Johan's co-conspirator, and tries to give them a drink to celebrate ("Ex Marks the Spot Chapter 5"). Jake insists that everyone be present for the toast, so Johan goes and gets Frank and Cordelia. Jake swipes Johan's gun as Johan tries to force a drink on the detective, and ties him up with Frank's necktie. Then, Jake reveals the whole plot Johan is involved in, including unmasking the brains, Theodore. Johan is presumably arrested ("Ex Marks the Spot Chapter 6").

Jake later visits Johan in prison to try to figure out who Johan was working for, figuring Johan didn't actually know Cordelia. Johan says he wasn't a henchman, but won't tell Jake who he was working for. Johan only says that he is well taken care of, well paid to keep quiet, and doesn't need a deal from Jake, not wanting to risk his current arrangement ("Round in Circles").
Sheila

Sheila was a monster in *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One*, a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour*.

**First appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #2.01 "Gather 'Round the Fire"

**Last appearance:** *Daniel Kravitz, Chosen One* #2.04 "The Search"

**Total appearances:** 2

**Actor:** Kristin Green

## **Traits and Description**

No description was given of Sheila, other than that she was a monster, a term she doesn't like. She was mother to two gernumblies, Peggy and Pootie Pugley, so it must be assumed she was that species, as well, or whatever species mixed with gnomes made gernumblies. It is unknown if she shared their last name.

Sheila lived in a small, cozy hovel not far from Kravitz Antiques, so in or near the town of Brightside. Daniel Kravitz said she was very unattractive, which is why Daniel could see Rufus dating her.

## **Story**

Sheila was mentioned in episode #1.04 "Children Will Not Listen" and was apparently seen by several lead characters, but she was not heard nor named in that appearance.

In that installment, it was mentioned that Rufus Reginald Rochester knew her. It later became clear that she and Rufus had dated while Rufus was serving as mentor to Miu Fu, his second Chosen One. Sheila took an interest in him, and Rufus was feeling just isolated and drunk enough to accept the interest. They engaged in a mutually destructive romance that Rufus wanted out of, but couldn't escape per threat of bodily harm. During that time, Peggy and Pootie ate their timid gnome father that she’d left them in the care of in America, and she had to return to them. She did not insist that Rufus accompany her home, and thus ended their relationship.

Some months following Rufus' showdown with his niece, Ragina, Rufus returned to Sheila for a while, wallowing. She took him back and wouldn't allow her children to harm him. She agreed with their assertion that the U.L.P. had played Rufus, and also thought Ragina had done him wrong ("Gather 'Round the Fire").

Rufus snuck away in the night, which Sheila did not appreciate. She was still mad when Daniel Kravitz and friends showed up looking for Rufus. She demanded one of Daniel's group be given to her as payment for disturbing her, unhappy they chose Alexis Augustus Armentrout as the sacrifice because she thought him a pervert for asking about her children. Daniel, Josh Wallace, and Grezit the Green (whom she previously knew, and was disappointed in his teaming up with the humans) fought Sheila and her children to the death, with Sheila and the kids being torn to pieces ("The Search").

## **Trivia**

* It might be complicated to ever see Rufus and Sheila meeting in flashback, or at least Sheila probably couldn't interact with Rufus' mentee, as Miu Fu was also played by Kristin Green.
Show LXXXIV

Show LXXXIV of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour* was performed live at Red Herring theatre on Saturday, June 25th, 2022 at 5PM. It was written by Jerome Wetzel and directed by Nick Arganbright. J.T. Walker was the Foley artist. Jabar Cole served as show photographer.

Mystery Dream Team

*Mystery Dream Team* is a segment of *It's All Been Done Radio Hour.* It was the eighth segment created by Jerome Wetzel for the show, premiering in June 2018. The segment follows four young adults as they hunt ghosts and monsters in a *Scooby Doo*-esque fashion.

The team was put together by Andi Swallows, who had visions of a perfectly marketable, diverse, photogenic group. She hoped to trick the gullible into paying them, and maybe get a reality show out of the deal. She recruited her best friend, nerdy Gordon Hanson, and her weird stoner step-brother, Violet, to help her. An ad online was answered by conspiracy theorist Jackie Watts. So not exactly her dream team, but it's a start. Sort of.

But by the end of season one, Jackie was left alone, faced with building an all-new team. Or not.

The theme song was composed by Nathan Haley with lyrics by Jerome Wetzel. It is performed by the full cast.

## **Characters**

### **Main Characters**

* Andi Swallows played by Karen Perta (season 1). The leader. Andi is smart, savvy, and hard-working, though not all that empathetic. She is ambitious, and that often is her sole focus. She is also confident that her plan will work.
* Gordon Hanson played by Nick Arganbright (season 1). Gordon will follow Andi anywhere. After all, she's a pretty girl that lets him hang around, despite his nerdiness. She only sees him as a friend, but he hopes that working for her will let her see him in a different light.
* Violet Swallows played by Seamus Talty (season 1). Violet is a stoner who is just along for the ride. Little shocks him, making him an ideal companion in a scary setting. If he can just stay focused on the task at hand.
* Jackie Watts played by Samantha Stark. Jackie loves conspiracies, and believes most of them. She is probably the only member of the group that truly thinks their work is real, joining to hunt monsters, not make money.
* Margot Dreyfus played by Megan Overholt (season 2-3). Kind of a bitch. Got turned into a toad.
* Greenie played by Sam Clements (season 2-3). An ornery leprechaun who is knowledgeable and capable.
* Ted Smith played by Darren Esler (season 2-3). A nervous man who doesn't like the supernatural.
* Wyatt Snickerdoodle played by Keith Jackson (season 3). A 'cool' guy who serves as an intern after Ted is promoted to Team Manager.
