BBC World newsroom

Actually, I did appear on a TV show many years ago. It was a "live" show on WNEW-TV, channel 5 in New York City. After a few years of working in the Newsroom as an all around johnny, taking care of the equipment, film, dispatch, input, etc., I was called into the director's office one day and told "they have to let me go!" "I was making too much money and the corporate Office (MetroMedia) was complaining. Imagine, just like that! So I was given a gold watch, taken to lunch for a Chinese dinner, interviewed on the Live TV show, asking me about my future plans (as if I had any!) and then during the nightly news show, they showed pictures of me during the breaks. So the answer to the question is: I played Me!
