I have to do a live news show tonight.
I'm going to be on NECN's Newsnight program with Jim Braude tonight at 7pm. NECN, for those not in my region, is New England Cable News. I've been on before a few times, but those shows were always taped an hour before broadcast. This one is going to be live.

Yeah, I'm a little nervous. Wish me luck. The video of these things usually goes up on their website later in the evening. I'll post it when it shows up.

Live. Egads. Now I know how The Honeymooners felt...

8. Honeymooners. Great strategy.
If the interviewer starts getting all up in your grill, you can fall back to "Pow! To The Moon!".

Hey, if it worked before...;-)

And then there is "hamanahamanahamana"...

21. Stage fright sharpens the wits and enhances the performance.
Nervous is good.

If you have to throw up, do it before you're on camera.

I've done live TV before for work, although my segment's were only 30 seconds to one minute!
