Thursday Three Time- Entertainment Tonight

This week the questions are related to the field of entertainment. Its obvious to most everyone that I'm no entertainer, but in the spirit of all the members of the Axis of Weevil, I'll play.
1) In the field of television, what job would you most want and why? This includes entertainment, news and sports.

As a kid, I knew what job I wanted on television, I wanted to be the guy that announced the password on the Password game show. It seemed like the perfect job- sitting at a microphone, behind the set, reading the passwords slowly and clearly with an authoritative, announcer voice. Imagine having a job that required you to say, "The password is...horsefeathers." It had to be the perfect job. Heck, I figured if the script writers could give me the list of words on Monday morning that I could record a week's worth and be done before lunch time. Now? Sign me up to drive the "live-on-the-scene television broadcasting van. Except that the hours are lousy it can't be too tough, drive the truck, crank up the satellite transmitter, wait for the getting-rained-on reporter to do their 2 minutes on the 10 oclock news, then pull down the tower and drive back to the studio.

UPDATE: The other job I'd like to do? I want John Melendez's job as the Tonight Show announcer. He seems to have the easiest job in Hollywood! He does the introduction at the beginning of the program and then he sits there on his chair, does one goofy wave when Jay recognizes him at the end of the monologue and then- nothing! The guy does nothing! Except for having to live and work in California, it seems like it would be perfect. Heck, he doesn't even have to be the straight guy for most of Jay's jokes, Kevin the bandleader gets that duty.

I would also love working in the graphics arts department for the Tonight Show. They come up with the funniest fake book covers and skit props that almost always make me laugh. And they have to do it fast, to keep up with the script and joke writers, it seems like it would be a dynamic and fun place to work.

If you had to make a living performing live--that’s right, live on stage--what would you want to do?

This one's easy. I want to have a regular segment related to tools and manly gizmos on The Man Show! It could be like Tim Allen's old Tool Time but reduced to just a 5 or 10 minute segment. An assistant like Heidi would be essential.

If you worked in the movies, what job would you most want and why?

Stunt driver. Or maybe a stunt coordinator and explosives preparation specialist. Driving fast or making things go "Kaboom" would be just fine, thanks!
