Wow. I can't believe this is the (gulp) tenth season of it already.
I don't have much time to write this morning, as I'm shortly due at Public TV 13 to tape the first shows of the year for “High School Bowl”. It's the 46th year for the show, and the tenth with me as host, which is kind of unbelievable seeing as how it seems I just started doing it last month. But as we discover more and more, time doesn't seem to lie, so year ten (which actually would have been year 11 if Covid hadn't interceded) is now in the starting gate.
It's funny, because it seems like we just taped the championship game from last year last week. But nope; that was February 22nd, over three quarters of a year ago, and here we are, getting ready to start it all over again. The show we tape today airs November 2nd, and in the lead I have to lay out my schedule of what to wear for the year; to make sure I alternate through all of my jackets, and to make sure I don't repeat a tie or a color combination without a buffer of a bunch of shows between them. Sure, it might seem a little shallow and stupid, but as I've found, people actually pay attention to those things.
No, I'm not quite sure why, but they do. And that's why I keep track of what I wear on TV when, and that's why the list I keep throughout the season seems more and more invaluable, especially after doing this for six years.
So with that in mind, I'm off to make a fool out of myself, as usual. But at least I'll be wearing a shirt & tie TV-13 viewers haven't seen recently. Oh, they may have seen it on my other TV job, but at ;ast on “High School Bowl” I'll be safe.
8-)
On that note, have yourself a great weekend!
