Episode 29: Actually live with Bill Stainton of 'Almost Live!'

For some longtime Puget Sounders, it's a treasured memory, an anchor point of local TV culture.

For those with, shall we say, shallower roots? It's the stuff of legend, lore and YouTube.

And for Bill Stainton, "Almost Live!" on Seattle's KING-TV was all of that and more, it was his job.

The Snohomish County resident joins Check It Out! podcast co-hosts Ken Harvey and Jim Hills in this episode. Stainton brings stories about just how rare the show was and his role as executive producer and cast member.

Stainton recalls that "Almost Live!" had such a loyal following that for 10 years, Seattle was the only market in the U.S. that delayed airing "Saturday Night Live" to give the local show top billing.

Today, the 29-time Emmy winner is translating the lessons learned from producing laughs every week for 15 years to lessons on how to produce results in the business world. Stainton brought his message to the TEDxStanleyPark stage in 2017 and served as an emcee at the 2017 TEDxSnoIsleLibraries event. Stainton notes that creativity is often about combining existing ideas in new ways, a process that can be planned for and cultivated. And in the process, maybe get a few laughs.
