about

In the summer of 1990, NPR broadcast the nightly two-hour program Heat—With John Hockenberry, devoted to the arts, politics, and culture. Producer Ted Bonnitt contacted Proctor & Bergman and asked if they wanted to contribute some comedy. They gave him “Power”, a weekly five-minute episodic satire about big-time Hollywood players eating each other for lunch.

Peter Bergman stars as super-agent Paul Power whose messy divorce is about to get a lot messier when terrorists kidnap his wife and demand that Paul turn their story into a movie-of-the-week; and Phil Proctor plays attorney George Scoff, currently enjoying a torrid affair with rival agent Alex Femme (Melinda Peterson) who wouldn't mind getting her hands on Paul's shop. Tip the valet and grab a booth - we're expensing this meal under "Professional Betrayals"!
