Close, the tiny tv shows the video from the big screens so JB knows when he is/isnt on camera, and this is why you will hear him make remarks about certain scenes that were/are being shown on the big screen.

The teleprompter is at the foot of the stage, and is a much large flat screen (about 32").

If I am wrong about any of that someone feel free to correct me.
Is there a way u can buy one like his
Why would you want one? Do you have big screens outside your house?

Actually I do have big screens outside my house. But in accordance to say, I dunno, a midget. But they are only over the windows. They do have tears in them that I need to fix but they are only in black and white.

I don't want to call them anything other than that because everything else to call them takes too long and besides, it's what they are.

Maybe instead of a teleprompter Jimmy could just have someone talking the lyrics ahead of him through his in ear monitor. Like a hostage situation on the phone.

I actually had to do that for our theatre group 2 years ago. We were doing "Titanic, the Musical" (yes there really IS such a thing, the music is quite pretty) ANYWAY the guy playing the Captain couldn't remember his lines for sh*t so I sat in the light booth with a script and a microphone to prompt him through an earpiece.

Jimmy has guys with cameras stationed in the crowd, and they find hot babes and send pictures to Jimmy on the little screen.

After a few rehearsals I learned just how long to give him before it looked stupid. It was pretty funny, the rest of the cast was always trying to help him, you really only noticed it if you KNEW what the lines were supposed to be. I just thought how funny it would be if I had the mike on and made a comment to someone next to me in the light booth and it came out of his mouth on the stage!

That's what I was wondering. If a phone rang, if you sneezed - that's just got to be hilarious. That would make a good bit in a movie.
