I was on TV!!!!

Wow, SO I was finally on TV. Actually I did not think it would happen so soon. I guess Im at the half way point but I thought it would take me a while to get on the tube. I was wrong. If anyone missed the broadcast then you can go to the late show website and look for "Intern Jumping". Basically, an acrobat jumped on a trampoline and did a front flip over 5 of the late Show interns. Then Dave, decided to up the ante and added a 6th intern. Needless to say it was quite entertaining. After the first jump, Dave interviewed Jake Gyllenhall and after his interview, he walked outside and once he saw us, he pointed like he knew us. It was quite humorous that Jakme Gyllenhall was excited to see the interns who were just on tv. I gave him my autograph and then had to get back to work...lol...

As, long as we are on the tpoic of celebity sightings, I had the pleasure to say hi and shake hands with Bill Hader, last Monday. He is one of the stars of "Superbad" and he is also on Saturday Night Live. The same day, I saw Kid Rock and Halle Barry.

Then today, I had to run an errand for one of the make up artists and when I walked up the stairs, there is Richard Simmons in his bright red get up. In an instinctive "How are you, hows it going?" I forgot that who I just said hi too was a man I had sseen on TV for years and now here he was looking as goofy as he does on TV!!!! He extended his hand and said "Hi, I am Richard." Luckily, I played it cool and said "Hi, Im Tyler." What I really wanted to say was "Are you kidding me!!!! YOur freakin Richard Simmons!!!!". I was able to control my mind and continue with the conversation but thats like meeting Robert DeNiro and he saying, "Hi, Im Robert" and your like....Of course you are....Basically, my point of this is that it is so weird meeting celebrities in real life because you dont know how to act. Everything you know about them is what other people tell you...its quite funny...you forget that they actually exist...like, they are actual people..ok anyway, Richard A.K.A. "Dickie" was very nice. He asked me what I did at the show and I said I was an intern and then I had to get on my way but, I must say, I was very pleased to meet him....and I told him that...I said "Its quite a pleasure"...but once again, I wanted to say, you shouldnt be here. I should be watching you on a screen somewhere.

Ok, so things have been pretty exciting so far and I cant think of anything else to report. I help with a podcast every Tuesday, that my good frineds nate and Trey produce so if you miss me so much that you want to hear my voice then you can go to http://web.mac.com/treyhockman and click on the Podcast. This is my plug for you to listen to three nerds for about half an hour. The Podcast focuses on anything from movies to music and video games and I give a brief description about movies coming out that day. So if your interested check it out and I will talk to everyone later!
