I looked at game show hosting as the bottom of the totem pole, one step away from infomercials. I never watched them myself. However, it's been a lot of fun.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I like infomercials.
I'm hosting a quiz show, but I never considered myself a game show host.
The infomercial business has been good to me.
I've done a dozen or two dozen infomercials.
There's a special joy you get having a show on the air that people are interested in and wanting to know what happens next. You really want to enjoy that while you have it.
Every show I play, whether it's for an audience of 15,000 or 50, I look at it as a party, and I'm the host.
I think the show has sort of given me a name in this business and allowed a lot of people the opportunity to see what I can do, and it's just sort of like a sweet starting point.
I've done a show at the Largo Theater called The 'Thrilling Adventure Hour.' We read, like, radio teleplays. It's a send-up of radio dramas from the '30s and '40s. We just did a Kickstarter for that so that we can do a web series and a concert film.
I've spent over half my life at NBC. This is the only place I have ever worked.
No one's on at my time but infomercials.
