can you post text?
thanks in advance!

I was told I would be contacted by the NYTimes for this article, but obviously that never happened. I guess my post-show story isn't as exciting as some since I never got kicked out of improv classes, adopted a monkey or got sucker punched outside a night club.

All I do is provide headline worthy quotes and sound bites, one after another in and endless stream of creative almost prose-like spurts of self serving ego stroking diatribes (sp). But, I guess the NYTimes has no need for anything like that, not when they have monkeys.

$30,000 guest appearances??? Either someone is greatly exxagerating or I definitely went on the wrong show

How is your friend? I keep sending good thoughts to her.

Well, in the box of chocolates that is reality TV, you definitely got the piece filled with coconut.
