The programs, which will take listener calls, won't be entirely off the cuff. (Liz) Winstead is overseeing a staff of 11 comedy writers who are churning out produced bits for all the shows.

Winstead is planning a routine called 'Waking Robert Reich,' where she calls the former labor secretary at 3 a.m. and asks him a question. She's invented a grizzled reporter named Stet Pressman -- a cross between Jimmy Breslin and Howard Cosell -- who's always getting the story wrong.
