Me on the Chaser

My Live Internet Debut
Dude, that was so fun! Well, yeah, I kinda got stuck with a random co-host. I turned up and told the producer that I was the last minute fill-in for the 7 o’clock slot, and she was like, “Oh, so’s this guy. Do you guys each want to do half an hour or…” And I was like, “Whatever.” I realized pretty quickly that on my own, I wasn’t going to be doing much other than answering the phone. So I figured I’d have him to do that. (Unfortunately he apparently didn’t tell me about most of your messages! Sorry about that.) But in spite of it, I actually had a really great time. The producer chick was really nice and we sorta teamed up. (She’s a pretty good knitter, too.) I had been pretty anxious on the way over there – Would I look fat? Would people think I was boring? – but I found that I got comfortable really quickly. What did you guys think? I haven’t seen any of it yet, but it felt pretty good. All of the other people I’d seen kinda just sat there and did nothing, or else they wore wacky costumes and hula-hooped. I just wanted to be different without being too over-the-top. I hope at least it amused you.

That said – I booked in for another slot! I’m going to be on Saturday morning from 8am-9am Sydney time. By my reckoning, that will be about 5:00pm on Friday Indiana time, so all the Americans should be able to tune in! The producer loved the idea of having a knit-in, so any knitters that want to come along, let me know.

PS – Did you guys see the Snook? He apparently walked behind as we were winding down. And then, of course, he and I pulled a total “bonehead” by sticking out our tongues as we left…
