Daily Show Correspondent John Oliver works over the former Senator in an interview captured by our Idaho camera crews.

John Oliver turns political tragedy into pure comedy in this interview with former Senator Larry Craig, which aired last night (6/2/10) on Comedy Central.   Our camera crews captured the interview in a two camera HDX900 setup, which required gutting a room at the Hotel 43 to accommodate all our gear.  Watch for Wide Eye Photographer Bill Krumm’s cameo at one point, appearing in the background behind Larry Craig.

The “X” frontman hits the road to explore the many sounds of American music.

John Doe is host of a new music travel series, "John Doe, American Music"

John Doe, legendary punk musician (he founded LA-based “X” and went on to perform in the folk and country genres as well), recently turned heads in Boise, where he was filming a pilot for his new television show, “John Doe, American Music.”   The show visits a different region each episode, getting to the heart of what makes that area’s sound so unique–from zydeco to techno, tex-mex to blues.

What’s even better? Our team here at Wide Eye Productions came up with the idea – and are shopping it around as we speak.

Check out this preview, and we’ll keep you posted on which network or cable channel swoops up this authentic, groovy look at our musical roots.
