Go ahead—ask me what I'm doing in a
few hours. I dare you.
Okay; I'm glad you took me up on that
dare. In a few hours, I'm jumping in Loraine's car and heading out
to TV-6. Why, you ask? Well, I answer, Don Ryan has apparently run
out of important and/or interesting people to have on “The Ryan
Report”, because he has asked me to be the guest on this week's
edition of the show.
I know; it makes me laugh, too. On a
show that has hosted governors and presidential candidates and
business tycoons, this week viewers will be stuck with me,
guaranteeing, if nothing else, record low ratings and some of the
strangest answers a guest has provided Don in his almost 60 year long
career in broadcasting.
It's the least I can do.
I actually have NO idea why he would
want me as a guest on his show; he said something about radio and
history, two topics about which I know a little, but why anyone would
actually want to watch a show about that is beyond me. But he seems
to think it'll work out, and since it's his show I'm guessing he
knows what he's talking about. I just hope he knows what he's
getting himself into.
8-)
Don't worry; I'll behave myself, or at
least behave myself as much as I do when I appear on a Public TV -13
pledge break. But as most of you know, I have a pathological
inability to be “serious”, even in a “serious” setting like a
TV show. I will always be making a slightly left-of-center comment,
weird pop culture reference, or tongue-in-cheek statement delivered
with the driest wit I know (and trust me, I know dry wit). I just
hope Don doesn't mind that.
More importantly for him, I hope the
people watching the show don't mind.
I don't know when it's airing; I'm
assuming Sunday, but you know what they say about assuming things,
right? I'll ask when I head out there, and let you know tomorrow,
when I also share the report of whether or not they just decide to
delete the show from the hard drive after they see that I'm not their
normal type of guest.
With that, I'm heading out there. Wish
me luck!
