Does anyone even still watch tv? I'm in a popular retirement area so I think the people around here do. Anyway I'm supposed to be on a tv commercial and we're filming on Monday. I'm a little nervous about it. It will probably be fun once I get used to the cameras but I know I'm going to do or say something awkward at some point because I'm just like that. It'll be interesting to see how everyone else at work acts too.

The only other times I've been on TV it was when I was in college marching band (vols bitch) so I was part of a big group so it wasn't really me in particular. Plus they don't show as much of the band like they used to so it was just brief. Oh and one time you could see me in the audience on Conan. That was a really fun experience going to see that and my family saw me on tv which they were totally stoked about. But I wasn't part of the show or anything. This should be interesting.

this is a wild loving first post. What the gently caress are you talking about rear end in a top hat?

Back in 2008 my ex and I went on vacation in LA. I made plans for us to go on both The Price is Right and Jay Leno. I made T-shirts for TPIR and everything. I guess that can be a whole thread about that, but (a) the Bob Barker studio is super tiny, and (b) there is absolute zero randomness how the producers choose contestants. We ended up not getting called on stage, but you couldn’t miss my gangly rear end flailing my arms.

For Leno we waited in line outside the Burbank studio. They started filing people in, checking their tickets and going through metal detectors. A producer asked us to wait to the side for a minute. Kinda weird, but ok…then another PA motioned for us down a hallway into the studio, and there were two chairs right up next to the stage with small ribbons over them. I sat behind my GF and it dawned that I could get on TV…because everyone in the floor seats could run up and shake Jay’s hand before the monologue.

So when Jay comes out I loving beeline to an inside corner, so I would face outward. I shake his hand quick but realize I’m too tall for him to reach other people. I go into an immediate crouch, but they switched camera to Kevin Eubanks at that very second. So luckily I avoided looking like a dumbass on NBC…except for willingly watching Leno. The guest was Russell Brand. During break, Russel’s hairstylist shot an entire can of hairspray into his coiffure.

The price is wrong Bob
Got about this long gently caress you Leno
