Basicly what I had to do was do a 7 minute board and pitch it to a room of big wigs from the network and based on that they determined if I would get a short or not.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
I'm a longboard guy.
So what I do is supervise the boarding process trying to get the shows the way I'd like them to be. And in some cases I've completely redone a board myself even though I'm not credited for it.
I'm too short to host a late-night talk show. It's like the bar at an amusement-park ride. You have to be six foot two or over.
My show is a sensory assault... in a very brief manner - the show is only 25 minutes long.
I guess any simple idea that is really good will catch on quickly.
My son and I run a string company, and he has a studio there, and I go down sometimes and we'll record.
So I figured in keeping with the record, I'd do something off the wall which is show up for free and wing it... I don't know, I'm just going to play some songs. I think it'll be fun.
You can be a two-pitch guy and be successful, but your room for error is very small.
It was hard to find a board my size. I was tiny.
And so they pitched the show to me. It sounded like a good idea. We pitched the show back, and got it sold and got it on the air. And that's kicking the tail.
