In my day, everybody got on TV!

Earlier this week I was perusing the internet for a video of me on HEAD2HEAD the Spike TV game show I was on last summer. It took me a while but I found it.

Now watch as I only speak to Mark McGrath after the producer specifically told me and the other contestant to feel free and flirt with the lady host.

No Call, No Show

Spike TV has decided to pass on my being the host of their new late night talk show. I guess they didn't see enough star power in the man who has already graced national televisions for a solid two minutes. They also probably felt that an over-achiever, such as myself, was over qualified after hearing that I was in the finals for McGuire's Funniest Person on Long Island contest two consecutive times.

Normally I would be bummed over this, but it's cool. You see, I had a potential employer e-mail me back about a potential part-time Customer Service position. So as you can see this feisty feline will be landing on his feet no matter what. <--SARCASM!

Audition! What?

Yeps! I had an audition today to be a host on a new late night talk show for Spike TV. The ad online said they wanted normal guys who like Video Games, the internet and beer. I like two of those things, and figured "why not?" Super pal Chontel and I headed down to NYC, and I had my thirty second bit ready. Then as we enter the comedy club, Comix, a member of the casting agency announced that we will not be doing thirty second bits anymore. Now we will be telling stories.

I SUCK at telling stories when it's forced. If it was in a casual conversation and my story made sense to be told I would tell it. In this situation it's just weird. I got called (#11) and I was told to describe myself. I explained my 1943 score and the thrash band I had/have, Adam's Apples.

The casting director seemed to enjoy all of that, then she asked for me to tell a tale. I told the story about my first audition (see future post regarding that) she seemed nice enough to listen, ha.

In all honesty I don't mind. I LOVE performing, but I'd rather write. I like to perform on my conditions. If I did get called back for this obviously I'd jump for it and do whatever I have to. But from now on, auditions should be much easier for me since I treat them like open mics and give a very cool "whatevs" approach.

Lates,

Proof of my being a Celebrity!

I'm a STAR!

There's an inspector who keeps hounding me of my whereabouts in regards to July 20th 2009. Well here you are Inspector Cornelius Finch! I hope you're happy, making me show this to people who will now think that I am just bragging.

I try so hard to be a modest celeb and now I'll just end up looking as desperate as Tori Spelling. Although I'd like to think that my real fans understand me. Thanks Mom; even though you recently "accidentally" deleted the recording from our IO box. I swear, sometimes she can be real catty!

MEOW!

I Have a New Best Friend!

Yesterday I was on a game show called Head2Head on Spike TV. It’s a 2 minute game show that has 2 strangers compete via internet against one another in pop culture trivia for the sweet prize of $500 (before taxes). I cannot (and shall not) reveal the denouement of this 2 minute battle of wits before the eyes of Mark McGrath (that’s right, Mr. Sugar Ray himself). But I will say that I achieved a new occupation, and that is: “TV Personality.”

So I apologize Mom, but I will not be taking the garbage out like you’ve asked (and nagged) all morning long. For I am a TV Personality, and as such, I cannot risk causing harm to my nationally entertaining body.

Also I would like to give a shout out to my new best friend: Mark McGrath. “Hey Buddy!”
