I doubt I will ever forget the conception in my head of you riding Drew with a whip. The tighty-whities is the cherry on top. Thanks for sharing this dominating vision. Love it!

Cannot connect to this at all - never had an ounce of stage fright, ever. I never understand those surveys that say public speaking is the number 1 thing people fear.

The biggest effort for me when I did pro-Israel PR work was to learn to ignore the camera. Also we had to learn to say what we wanted, and not what the - often antagonist - journalist wanted.

Thank you for that view into the private recesses of your mind.

I'm going to go scrub now.

I can't help hearing his name as "Dr. Droop Inski."

I used to host a talk show series for Lakewood Community Television, and one thing I found helped a lot was to make sure there were no monitors whatsoever that I or the guests could see while we were shooting. The temptation to always turn and look at yourself is just too great... or at least, it was in my case. There'll be loads of time to watch yourself (and maybe cringe) after the fact.

It also helps to bring along to the studio someone you *really* trust. Someone who you know will tell you (rather than just giggle behind your back) if you've got something icky, bulbous and green falling out of your nose a few minutes before going live, or that can help you cake on the concealer if the lights are so bright, you look like you forgot to shave your mustache-- and you're female.

I was on television once, but it wasn't in a studio. I was standing outside of the jail I worked in, explaining to the local news how it was we let one of the inmates run out of an open door and into the wild.

Ah, good times.
