BY JAY BOBBIN As "The Circus: Inside the Craziest Political Campaign on Earth" continues for the remainder of its fifth season, how are you and the rest of the show's staff dealing with sudden itinerary changes as this year's presidential election draws closer? It's hard for the campaigns to do long-range planning, so that kind of helps our wheelhouse. Even before this, I rarely knew my week's schedule. We'd start on a Monday and I might go to Texas, then we'd be in New Hampshire on Wednesday. I think we'll still have plenty to do, it'll just be different. Do the advisories advocating social distancing impact "The Circus" in terms of seeking the sorts of interviews the show is known for? Yeah, I think it creates a challenge. People are going to be cautious, but so are we. We're going to make clear that we have really strict protocols in place that are super-safe, and (the anchors are) all going to be tested regularly.
