Just heard on Fox News, Four people have been arrested outside CBS studios in LA. I was just there Monday, my son and I saw the taping of Craig Kilborn Show then. Security was pretty tight then. Searched our cars, and purses, and had to go through metal detectors. But this incident today was outside. They don't have it up on their website yet. John Gibson just reported it.

And I guess the big question on everyone's lips; "Was the driver Islamic"?

We need to place bets on when we can find that info out. How long did it take in the El Al thing for us to find that out?

[RobRoy]

All we need is their names...

[SerpentDove]

>> Craig Kilborn's a terrorist?<<

Yes. Remember when he showed Bush's picture with the caption "Snipers wanted"?

[beowolf]

He's got bazookas!

I've heard them called Bazoomas...but, not Bazookas ( would you need a federal stamp for them?!-)

Hey, "bazookas" is on the official breast slang list!

[SMEDLEYBUTLER]

Sounds like Kilborn finally got what he asked for.

OH Buffy I know where this at

I been CBS Studios in LA for taping of Price is Right

WOWWWWW

[buffyt]

Probably! I think it was just some idiot with weapons in his trunk. I toured NBC, but didn't park on their lot, so no security check until we went into station, they checked purses. We drove into Warner Bros. parking garage, and they searched our car, had to open small yellow suitcase in trunk. We didn't mind. At CBS they had us get out of the car and they searched it pretty thoroughly. We didn't mind. Now I see WHY they do these checks! You never know. They had us go thru metal detector, searched purses, and took phones and cameras, until Kilborn show was over. That was just Monday!

[buffyt]

Was he the one who ran the SNIPER thing? I didn't remember who did that horrible thing! He does do a lot of silly fake commercials throughout his show.

[buffyt]

I don't know what all it was, but I was just there Monday with my beloved son. I don't sit around and worry, I fear no man. But it would have been scary if that had happened while we were there. Remember they had a shooting inside CBS this year, a disgruntled employee. I talked to a CBS guide about that Monday. She said after an event like that, or like 9/11, they get really tight on security. Then they get lax again, until another even or another scare of this type. Might be more of a headache to go through security there now, for a while anyway. She was pretty tired of the whole thing!

[buffyt]

He isn't very good looking in person, and all the people working there at the show were making fun of his walk. The guests were Daisy Fuentes, Robert Goulet, and The Mighty Mighty Bosstones.

It is kind of hokey how they seat the audience. You don't get in by where you were in line, by that order. A man who works for them puts the young men in the front rows, except to the far left, and those three seats are occupied by three pretty young gals usually. You could be first in line and end up sitting on back row. I liked how Johnny Carson used to do it, if you were first in line, you came in first. I don't like Kilborn, my 18 year old son doesn't like him much either. It is hard to get tickets, most shows are not taping this month, on hiatus. Kilborn was LOOKING FOR AN AUDIENCE this week!

[buffyt]

OUCH! If I had remembered it was Kilborn who ran that SNIPER thing I would have NOT gone to his show. I think MOST of Hollywood is sleazy! I heard a man in line at CBS saying that "Everyone is liberal these days!" HA!!!!!

[buffyt]

One gal sued him a few years ago for "forcing her to perform oral sex on him in order to receive promotions" He admitted to the oral sex, said he didn't force it on her, and his wife didn't leave him.

[buffyt]

Sued Barker NOT Kilborn.

[buffyt]

If you were really LOUD and jumped out of your seat everytime the applause sign went on, you got a free shirt like the one you showed. I thought that was SILLY, thus, no shirt for me!

Remember this????

GUNMAN HELD AT CBS Reuters | 5/28/02

UPDATE 1-Gunman storms L.A. CBS-TV studio, holds off police Tue May 28, 9:22 PM ET

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - A gunman stormed into the CBS Television Center in Los Angeles Tuesday and tried to open fire, forcing hundreds of people to flee the sprawling media complex as his gun jammed, police and local media reports said.

A man who was in the building's lobby when the gunman entered told KABC-TV that the suspect aimed his weapon at a mail supervisor and tried to fire twice, only to have the weapon apparently misfire.

"I looked again and he was on the ground and reloading and something fell out of the gun," the man, who was not identified, told the station. "That's when I realized that this was not a joke."

According to media reports, everyone in the building was evacuated safely and the man was confined to two rooms in the building's basement as police attempted to negotiate with him.

CBS is a unit of Viacom Inc.

I talked to one of the gals at CBS about this May 2002 incident, and she said it was very scary!
