Did ABC Wait Too Long to Air Their Charlie Sheen Interview?
by Joel Keller, posted Mar 1st 2011 12:00PM

At some point on Saturday evening, the folks at ABC News must have been feeling very proud of themselves.
Andrea Canning had just spent the day with Charlie Sheen, the first television reporter to do an extensive video with the actor since he let loose with various tirades on the radio and TMZ, causing CBS and the producers of 'Two and a Half Men' to shut things down for the season. ABC made the big announcement, calling it 'The First Interview,' and planned to debut it on 'Good Morning America' this morning, followed by a big splashy '20/20' special tonight.
It may have been the first television interview Sheen gave, but it sure as heck wouldn't be the last.
The folks at the Alphabet Net got scooped, then scooped again, and then scooped yet again. But the way the network has been reacting to these scoops makes us wonder if they think that it's still 1991 instead of 2011.

On 'Good Morning America' (weekdays, 7AM ET on ABC), ABC News correspondent Andrea Canning shares texts she received today from Charlie Sheen, in which the 'Two and a Half Men' star continues his one-man war against the sitcom's co-creator Chuck Lorre."He told me he's 100 percent clean ... and he also tells me Chuck Lorre is a 'loser' and a 'clown' and a whole lot worse than that," said Canning.
