TCA: ABC Boss Paul Lee on "Work It"
1/10/2012
by Lacey Rose


ABC entertainment group president Paul Lee kicked off his network’s day before the television press with a crack at his own expense.

“Good morning,” he said, upon taking his seat on the Pasadena stage. “So, what did you think of Work It?”





Later in his session at the Television Critics Association press tour, Lee was forced to re-address the controversial cross-dressing comedy that was universally panned when it hit the schedule earlier this month.

Though he claimed not to understand what the backlash from the LGBT community was all about, he is not sorry he put it on the air. As he sees it, there was room for "a very, very silly" show on a schedule full of more ambitious efforts.
