James Taylor is the man behind James Taylor’s Shocked and Amazed! On & Off the Midway — the world’s only journal devoted solely to the entertainment explosion in the weird, bizarre and unusual!
James Taylor is the planet’s foremost authority on sideshow. You saw James Taylor and Shocked and Amazed! on The Learning Channel’s “Sideshow: Alive on the Inside,” “The Jerry Springer Show,” “Public Eye with Bryant Gumbel,” and Fox Television’s “Fox Files.”
