Welcome, News 10 viewers

I never thought these stories were true, until it happened to me!

I just saw myself, and this blog, on the local ABC affiliate. I’d accompanied The Missus for her interview about Lost from a literary standpoint, strictly for moral support. After a while, she drew me into the interview and at first I just answered all the reporter’s questions like they were queries about NBC’s The Biggest Loser. (None of those answers made the air.)

Once I realized they were really going to film me—about the time I was being wired for sound—it was too late to go home and change out of my silly Marvin The Martian® t-shirt and then it was all over.

Then the bastards cut her out completely and just ran with my fan-boy windbaggery! You can imagine my secret delight...

Anyhow, it was a pretty great media day today with The Missus appearing in the local daily:

...and me on the local news, both going on the record about one of the smartest, most ambitious and unique TV shows ever. This is almost as cool as people searching for Johnny Cash on YouTube and finding my clips.

Almost.

Just the same, I’d like to thank The Missus for her support and the members of the Academy for their consideration. Really, it’s an honor just to be on TV. [pause for applause]

With all due respect, I’m saving the really big acceptance speech for when I pick up my Nobel for first recommending  Arnold Schwarzenegger for the U.S. Supreme Court.
