Applegate (Mike Baker, JR.) and Lola (Annie Ermlick) hatch their plans.
Seven-time Emmy-winning TV Producer/Host Mike Baker, JR. opens in Damn Yankees at the Alden Theatre in McLean, Virginia on Friday, July 12. The musical runs through Sunday, July 28th. Baker is excited to play the role of “Applegate,” a part he interviewed Jerry Lewis about in 1998 for the BRAVO Cable Network. Baker also interviewed Tony-Winning actress, Bebe Neuwirth, who played “Lola.” These interviews can be seen on National Arts Television.com.
Baker’s enthusiasm for Damn Yankees comes from a boyhood love of sports. Baker made television history in the mid 1980’s and 1990’s by being the first Television Program Director to program 250 college basketball games in a single season before ESPN. Baker also programmed a 34-hour college basketball marathon during NCAA conference weekend. Tony Kornheiser, then with The Washington Post, came out to do a story on Baker. In a stroke of genius, Baker coaxed Kornheiser into going on the air at half-time of one the game broadcasts. Tony’s first response was, “I don’t have a face for television.” Baker responded by saying, “Tony you are the funniest sports columnist in America.
