 - Spencer: the
Wannabe SuperModel. :-)
-
-
- And
believe it or not we're to the final picks
for the boys, and no, Gary still hasn't
selected one viewer's choice. He's still
fighting Adam's "Crooked X" selection as
he feels he was unfairly terminated, but
it's currently falling on deaf ears.
-
- It's
funny, what seemed to be a pretty
"light" entry (since there were no
Egos switching places) came up with some
of the bigger laughs of 'em all. The
Woodstock line still makes me giggle and
Spencer's "Home Down" line is quite
endearing. I really love these characters.
They're like old friends.

- I
really like how the voter's picks molded
the entire storyline as I never would've
thought to have Gary be the loser of the
bunch. It is funny since he's such a
hardass. Anyway, I'm really skirting the
real storyline.
-
- Of
course, this is the first time I've been
back to CBS since the unbelieveable
news on Saturday that the head of late
night wants to put me on after Ferguson. I
was most excited about telling Tyson as he
would MOST DEFINITELY be my make-up
guy for the show if I have any
say in it. He's literally invented
techniques to pull off these characters
and I absolutely need him for this
show.

- I held off on
telling the crew as I just didn't want it spread
around and then get back to NY that it's somehow a
done deal. Nothing is ever 100% no matter how concrete
this seems. Of course what I wasn't expecting was
that they would actually remember I had that
Saturday meeting (Nanci actually came in last Thursday
and we talked about it in front of the crew). Then
they're saying: "So what happened? They puttin' you on
TV?" I tried to be cool, but oddly enough another
staffer jumped in and they kept "guessing".
I finally just asked them to keep it under wraps,
and told 'em. The coolest part? Most of them expected
it. Simon was blown away, but everyone else just shook
their head like: "Yup, we saw that comin'." ?!?!?!? It
was actually the biggest compliment of the day for me.
When I told the head of make-up? She gave me a high
five and just said: "I knew it". Blown away by
these responses. They were all so sure!! How
amazing.
-
- We
went to lunch together and I was just on
top of the world. The feeling is honestly,
indescribeable. It's validation for my
whole damn life. I just want to bring
everyone on-board with me and celebrate
forever. You bought my CD? You're on the
staff. Listened to The Late Show on WTVN?
You're on staff. Let's have the biggest
party of all-time celebrating years
of sturggling. That lunch (my favorite,
sushi) just felt wondrous. Everyone was in
a great mood. I was so proud that the
budget for my little show could pay for
these guys to have a lunch. Although we
did sweat a bit afterwards thinking the
bill was gonna be ridiculous. (it
wasn't)

- And I hope
that comes across in the show, I love the team
atmosphere of the crew. Contrary to popular belief,
I don't do The Egos because I don't like working
with others... it just worked out that way. I try to
include them every time I can and do everything
I can to make it fun for them. Never more obvious
than at the end of this episode...
-
 -
- ...LOL. As
I wrote it I just smiled because I knew
they'd have a ball with this. Simon jumped out of his
seat to volunteer for this role. Heh.
-
- So, I'm just on
top of the world. Never been happier, blah blah blah -
broken record. I'm so anxious to get to NY and blow
them away with my ideas for the show I am barely
sleeping. Of course all my preperation is on top of
writing, shooting, and editing these shows. I'm
whooped. It's certainly become a countdown to the end
because what awaits... whew. Mind blowing.
