International meet-ups? A travel show with Sarah Lane? Using Chad Johnson as an off-site producer?
Any of that sound familiar? Well it was all lies. Surprise! None of it happened. So what should we expect out of Leo Laporte’s assertion last year that a New York studio (built in conjunction with The City University of New York and guided by the deft hand of Jeff Jarvis) would soon be available for shows, interviews and some kind of morning tech-related broadcast endeavor?
I’ll break it to you gently: Nothing. We should expect nothing. And neither should Jeff Jarvis. Because he’s never getting that New York studio—not with Lisa ‘n’ Leo planning an epic honeymoon. Hey, first-class airfare and 5-star hotels cost money. So the countdown has begun on the next far-fetched tale of bullshit that Leo will spin…anybody want to take a stab at it in the comments section?
Next far-fetched tale: Jason will be filling in for Leo on “Theeeeeeeeeeee Tech Guy!”

Well atleast it would be sincere and watchable.

Reliable sources have suggested that the entry into New York did indeed happen, but was unfortunately over within mere minutes as Leo was felled by a team of professional nuisance exterminators of all things that are unholy:

“To hell with the truth! As the history of the world proves, the truth has no bearing on anything. It’s irrelevant and immaterial, as the lawyers say. The lie of a pipe dream is what gives life to the whole misbegotten mad lot of us, drunk or sober.”
