live broadcast featured less-controversial material, as it was basically an episode dedicated to taking viewer phone calls. Format change (1992) A few months after Sean Haffner began working on The Lone Shark, host Jim Sharky realized that he and Haffner worked well together (even if they didn’t always have the same ideas as to the content and direction of the program). Sharky asked Haffner if he would like to be the producer of The Lone Shark (with Sharky controlling the program as Executive Producer) and Haffner accepted. From that time until the end of The Lone Shark’s production, Sharky would control the content of The Lone Shark, while Haffner controlled the technical aspects of the program. Sharky and Haffner were usually the only people in the studio during each episode of The Lone Shark (unless the episode featured an in-studio guest). The rest of The Lone Shark’s crew was usually working in the control room, keeping in contact with Haffner in the studio through a communication headset that was plugged into either Haffner's camera or a port in the studio's wall. Haffner almost always stood directly behind the camera that was pointed at Sharky, to keep Sharky from looking away from the camera as they spoke during the program. Because The Lone Shark was unscripted and the teleprompter on Sharky's camera was not used for text to be read, Sharky asked the WFAC-TV technicians to show Haffner how to re-wire the teleprompter so that it displayed the same video feed that The Lone Shark’s viewers were watching. This was so that Sharky would be able to know exactly what could and could not be seen by the home viewers. Haffner would position an in-studio monitor on a rolling cart next to himself so that he could also see this same video feed during the program. Jim Sharky would often talk to Sean Haffner during each episode of The Lone Shark, but because Haffner was not on microphone, many times the viewers could not hear Haffner's comments to Sharky. In 1992, Sharky decided to remedy this situation by giving Haffner a microphone and making him Sharky's co-host. Haffner (now known as ″Sean The Producer″) would stay behind the camera while co-hosting the program, which allowed him to freely wander the studio and attend to technical duties while he and Sharky carried on conversations. This became the regular format of The Lone
