The show starred
Jim Gaffigan, who played a
weatherman from
Fort Wayne, Indiana, who then moved to
New York City and worked as a
meteorologist for a fictional morning news show called "AM New York".
Christine Baranski played Marsha Bickner, the larger-than-life, tightly wound producer of "AM New York" who hired Jim, but tends to forget the details about his life – like where he moved from. CBS canceled the show due to low
ratings. Looking back, Gaffigan said, "I don’t think I had the maturity to take the authority I should have", and as he was not a contributing writer he felt the team would dismiss his ideas. ==Cast==
