Prepping The Grind

The flight back to LA is in a few hours.

It's always a busy week the first set of shows for the New Year! And it seems like the network (That would be CBS) has a lot of stuff to promote.

You probably know about a little sporting event called "The Super Bowl." It's in Houston and it's a big deal. It's the Unofficial American Holiday... everyone eats, drinks, learns a little something about the US version of football, and watches all of the commercials with the celebrities, the animals, the gimmicks, etc. that you'll see either for the rest of the year or never again.

Followed, this year, by the "Survivor All Stars." Don't ask me about this, since apparently no one with the network knows exactly who the "stars" are or where the show is taking place.

I admit it. There's a lot of pressure being put on me to have the guests on the show. And I am again calling for... NONE of the guests on the show. My boss has them on his show at that Deli guy's counter. They don't need to sit on my fine leather chairs with their tick infested butts. Reality TV has gone far enough. It's time to get unreal again.

What happened to good TV acting and dancing? Huh? And no, this is not bitterness from the fact that "Survivor" WON an Emmy and my show hasn't even been NOMINATED for one. Not in the least.

Before you know it, February Sweeps will be here. There's so many things to do! So much to prepare! And, of course, all of those wonderful guests!

I'm ready. California, here I come... right back where I started from!

One more quick jog through Central Park before a shower, breakfast, check out, and the limo to JFK. Later!

EDIT: I have to get the writing staff at work on the Britney marriage. This might not be just the monologue, it could be the whole week of shows!

Note to self: Send a special thank you bouquet to the new bride. :)

The Story Of The Century

Ok. I'm frantically trying to call travel agents to get booked on an earlier flight back to LA to get to work on our Britney stories.

Granted, our first show will be great, since we have one of the stars of Fox's "The O.C.," rachel__bilson as a guest! You have to check that out, it's going to be good.

But the humor is going to sell everything and today it's all about Britney and whatever Alexander she married. I've been informed that it's not the "Seinfeld" Alexander. For what it's worth, it is!

If I can get to the airport in an hour, I can get on a charter to San Francisco and fly down from there at 9am. At this point, it almost doesn't matter. I just need to get west ASAP. Suddenly, I'm on an episode of "The Amazing Race!"

I almost feel like doing a show tonight there's so much going on.

Maybe we should try to get an interview with the clerk that issued the license, and the people present when they got married. I personally think this is her continuing the great akutcher's Punk'd tradition, but don't sue me if I'm wrong!

Ok. Forget breakfast. I'm off to the airport now!
