I can imagine! Hell, they even parodied the harried stage manager in "Mr. Magoo's Christmas Carol" (no coincidence that the songs were written by an award winning Broadway team). The thing about live network radio or TV is that you have absolutely no margin for error when you start, during breaks, or when you end. The show "clock" segmentation is absolutely the law, and when you have hundreds or more stations tied in all depending on to the second accuracy for their own breaks and spots and IDs and such, you better get it right!
