He's the head of a makeshift command center, leading a team of 12 toward a strange digital glory.
The ashes and butts collect in a ceramic bowl between an empty coffee cup and Coke can. His fingers type furiously between cigarette drags. A lanky man with a green Space Invaders character tattooed on his pale neck is glued to dual computer monitors. But the scene in Studio 40 is perhaps most peculiar. Somewhere in the building, newscasters deliver headlines, actors film sitcoms, and pundits argue about hockey. The lobby is warm and busy, decorated with smiling portraits of the Kids in the Hall cast and other Canadian celebs. People are masses of jacket cloth hunched against the cold as they duck in and out of the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation's heavy glass doors. Gray sky hangs low over snow-slushed sidewalks, turning everything a dismal shade of urban slate. It's a frigid 22 degrees Fahrenheit in downtown Toronto.
