I Am Working On a Saturday Night
No one seems impressed by my tv credit
Well, it has been a month since my national television debut. So far I have sold two copies of my CD to strangers (always good when it is not a family friend), received about 30 e-mails/MySpace messages from new fans.
So my dilemma is, will I be like Phillip Seymour Hoffman in Along Came Polly – doing Community Theater 20 years from now talking about my 5 minutes of comedy glory? An Al Bundy with a law degree, with each minute of TV time equaling one touchdown of Bundy’s against Polk High (or did he play for Polk High).
Well, Tuesday I have an audition for Live at Gotham. If I am fortunate enough to get that it will give me Comedy Central and CBS as credits. My next goal will be an appearance on Conan, giving me NBC. But the real joke will be to see if I can get all that and still not be a paid comic, but merely the funny guy at the law office. And there is nothing really funny about listening to Fergie sing on 106.7 while writing up cases on a Saturday in the Bronx.
So come out and see me at Gotham on Tuesday at 9. Or see me there in a few months with 10 of my friends.
