Getting in touch with my inner Wink Martindale

On Friday, May 21, I did a live guest appearance on CN8 television's "Your Morning" show, thanks to a really engaging young producer named Henry Franz who worked with me via e-mail over the prior week to develop a game segment to play with the show's hosts.

Most times I've been on TV, I've been seated for an interview...I haven't had to be physically coordinated on air since I sang and danced on the "Captain Noah and His Magical Ark" show when I was 17 (And my coordination then was, frankly, debatable. Fred Astaire, I'm not. Even a dancing hippo from Fantasia, I'm not.). So, it was a bit nervewracking to have to handle props and move around on the CN8 set as the cameras were rolling; I actually avoided watching the tape they gave me for a whole day. As it turns out, it all went quite smoothly, especially given the fact that there was no rehearsal or editing. So now I've decided I'm up for being the next Ben Stein. Agents, I await your calls!
