Don Tiki debuts as Andy Bumatai's house band on KFVE
Comedian Andy Bumatai's new week-night talk show, "NightTime with Andy Bumatai" has just tapped Don Tiki to be its house band. The neo-exotica combo makes its debut tonight at 9:35 p.m. on KFVE, immediately following the K5 News at Nine.

Re: "Night Time" with Andy Bumatai
I did try to watch last night's episode, however the show is still in its "growing" stages. I ended up turning it after the Bart Simpson drawing lesson, which was why I tuned in, in the first place. I'll still be supportive, and encourage viewers, but with technology today, perhaps the quality of the show (not Andy or his guests) could improve at a faster pace?___

Re: "Night Time" with Andy Bumatai
Honestly, can't wait for Andy Bumatai to follow Jimmy Kimmel and do the show on TheBus.
But if he booked older guests like "The General" Les Keiter, then better use the Handi-Van.Beijing 8-08-08 to 8-24-08
Tiananmen Square 4-15-89 to 6-04-89

Re: "Night Time" with Andy Bumatai
Saw this for the first time by accident last night. I sometimes watch the KFVE News at 9 and after that this show came on. What I found strange about last night's show is that they went a few minutes past 10 to a point that I missed the first few minutes of the KGMB News.... hmmm....
The show doesn't have a "Tonight Show" feel to me.... more local than anything offered from the mainland. At this point I doubt it could be sold into mainland syndication.I'm still here. Are you?

Re: "Night Time" with Andy Bumatai
Last night's show had some things.
1) The two guests seem to have a theme. Take a typical occuption and then do something else with your life. The first guy was an accountant who then became a gem hunter. The second person was a police officer who retired and became a magican.
2) George Segal coming in the middle of Andy's openning monologue.
3) This may sound kind of negative against Andy (and it is) but during the gem hunter's (and I forgot his name) segment which included a display of gems that he had collected Andy kept interrupting with his jokes as opposed to asking kind of serious follow up questions or just letting it slide. To the gem hunter's credit he was a good sport about Andy's clowning around.
4) A 3 piece band, with a spot for the guest to come through.

It's more cumbersome that way but you're less likely to miss something. And you get the coordinated coverage as you would with something that's switched live-to-tape.

Re: "Night Time" with Andy Bumatai
Could it be that there is no floor director, the guy who points the talent to which camera is on? Looked to me like Andy was always searching to where he needed to look at.
Show does have a lot of potential though, but I for one am distracted by the constant stream of passing headlights in the background.

Re: "Night Time" with Andy Bumatai
There are a few things about the show that bother me, but so far, I'm liking the show. It's interesting that, like many here, my wife and I also enjoyed the Longs bit very much. I wonder what was so appealing about that segment. When I think back on it, I don't really know why I liked it so much, so I'm a little surprised to find it stands out for others as well.
I don't know what it is -- the lighting, the quality of the cameras, the small studio audience or one of the other things pointed out here -- but there's something about the show that makes it feel very amateur. It bothers me because I would really like to see this show take off. I see a huge amount of potential.
How about a huge Hawaiian mahu covering events on-location like Ross the Intern does for Leno? Maybe get some of the popular female newscasters from their sister station (KHNL) as guests, flirt heavily with them, and ask them all sorts of racy titillating questions? (This is late night TV after all.) Interview people stuck in traffic on Ft. Weaver. Rebroadcast some K5 or KHNL news stories and add humorous commentary. Get that one Braddah to do a recurring bit as Linda Lingle. The list is endless.
I hope someone involved in the production of the show reads this thread.
