More to the point, it's the biggest TV audience since February's Super Bowl, whichaveraged 97.5 million viewers.During their Hologram Moment, Cooper asked Will.I.Am how he came up with the "Yes,We Can" video, which "really got an enormous play." But, again, here, it's unlikelyanybody cared what Will.I.Am had to say in this, his gajillionth interview about the video-- nothing new, BTW -- being completely preoccupied as they were with the Black EyedPea in his new Beam-Me-Up-Scotty state.The Post's Paul Farhi wondered whether Blitzer could have walked through Yellin, andyesterday asked CNN's senior vice president and Washington bureau chief DavidBohrman, who was the guy behind the election-night bells and whistles.Had Blitzer tried to walk through Yellin, besides being the height of rudeness, he wouldhave blacked out, because in Hologram World, two people can't occupy the same spacesimultaneously, Bohrman assured Farhi.Blitzer couldn't actually see Yellin standing a few feet in front of him, nor could Coopersee Will.I.Am. The two anchors saw their interview subjects via monitors, said Bohrman,who predicted it would be another dozen years before anchors could actually see theirhologramterviews on the set. Right now, it's kind of like when your local weathermanpoints to clouds and low-pressure systems on the map he/she pretends to see butactually can't and is instead looking at the map on a monitor.Had Blitzer walked behind Yellin, Bohrman noted, we could have seen a little of Blitzerthrough her. Try not to think about that; put it out of your mind.And, the flickering blue edges were added to Yellin and Will.I.Am to make them look alittle more like Princess Leia and a little less like Cokie Roberts in a trench coat over herevening dress pretending to be standing in front of the Capitol, Bohrman said.The CNN exec said the hologramology technology makes sense when an anchor istrying to have a more intimate conversation with a correspondent than he can have ifsaid correspondent is being mobbed by those annoying waving crowds. On the otherhand, to make the hologram thing work, the correspondent, or Black Eyed Pea, has tobe removed from the distracting crowd anyway, and put in a green-screen-ish tent in astudio, and surrounded by about 40 fixed HD cameras.Bohrman said he had no plans to use hologramterviews again in the immediate future,calling them "an ornament on a tree" and not the centerpiece of CNN's election-nightcoverage.Oops on that.
