FBN’s Happy Hour, “A New Breed Of News Show”

Marketwatch.com‘s Jon Friedman visited the set of FBN’s Happy Hour last Thursday, at the Bull & Bear pub in the Waldorf Astoria hotel:

“…I glimpsed an atmosphere of enforced chaos, which is the main idea. Because everyone is constantly crunched for time, the energy level is sky high. Since the show is so new, the people involved are terrified that something might go wrong or euphoric that they pulled it off again. Mainly, everyone on the set acts a little nuts, but happily so.

Gomez and Willard seem to get along, and they complement each other well. “I put a lot of pressure on myself to get everything right,” Gomez says. Willard chimes in, “I go home and watch the show and see everything I did wrong.”
