Jenny McCarthy Picked up!

 The most ridiculous, loud and pointless show - The Jenny McCarthy Show has been picked up for some strange reason.  It's noise instead of content, you have no idea what's going on, but it's going on for seven more episodes. Michelle Buteau is the best part of the whole thing. Michelle is a great stand up comedian that they made into a Robin Quivers/news woman. Michelle will give an entertainment new headline and then make a quick joke. Then McCarthy and her guest are supposed to comment on it. But McCarthy is so scared of dead air that she blurts something out and throws it back to Michelle for the next story.

McCarthy does this thing, where they come back from commercial, she's lying on her back with the guest eating a lollipop asking creepy questions. At the end of the segment they pull back to reveal they were lying on the shag rug in the middle of the set.

McCarthy needs to trust herself and slow the fuck down.My message to Jenny,  "Let the show be, no need to scream. You're funny, relax, enjoy yourself."

Watch for yourself.

Pay to Play

A friend posted on Facebook that she had a lead for a producing job and to contact her if interested. This woman, let's call her Jane, wait... that's her name... let's call her Zane, has been a big part of my career. 15 years ago she trained me when I was a PA on how to be a producer. She also got me a couple of key jobs in my early career. Zane told me she wanted a finder's fee if I got the job. Zane said she was screwed out of money people owed her in the past. She wanted to cash in.

Zane said she'd send in my stuff in a few days for free or today for a finder's fee. Zane refused to tell me the name of the show or the genre of talk. She asked if I had court TV experience. I have tons. In fact, that's what I'm doing now. I said if she got me the job, I was fine with it. She hinted she wanted me to write an email of intent and put $2,000. So I did. $2,000 for Supervising Producer job, which I don't have on my resume and would be a stretch, and $500 for a Producer job, which should be a no brainer. Zane sends back a re-written email of intent with $5,000 for Supervise and $1,000 for Producer. She raised her own price. I called her on it and she said she realized she deserved more, but would settle on $3,000. I wrote back immediately, "Done."

The next morning I get an email from Zane saying she talked it over with her husband and she wants the first two weeks of my salary, if I get and take the job. You have to remember, if I get a job, I have to pay someone else 10% or my salary to negotiate the contract. So it's 10% off before taxes, two weeks before taxes, taxes and then I keep the rest. I told her we had a deal and she can't keep changing it. In fact, I figured she's change it again if I said yes to the "two week" offer. Zane wrote an email back and I wrote a nice email telling her how much she meant to me and my career, but I didn't want to do business with her. Zane was touched and we ended it. The next day, I find out that two shows I thought I was going to be up for, were already staffed. I freaked out. $5,000 did not sound like a lot of money to make money. Today was a different day then two days ago. It was a day with less hope and slight more desperation. What did I do? I just flushed away the only option I had for a job. I write Zane, "$5,000. I'm in. Make it happen." Zane writes back, "OK."

 The next day I see listed on Staffmeup.com, a court show job in LA. My guess is that it's the same job. I don't want to apply for it twice, I don't want to look like I was trying to get the job behind Zane's back and I definitely don't want to get the job on my own and then pay $5,000 for an email. I send the job posting to Zane and ask if it's the same job. She says she never put me up the job because I never made it clear what I wanted to do. Ugh. All that running around nothing to show for it. It was days later, so the $5,000 no longer got me a premium. Zane let me apply for the show on my own. Which I did. After all that the show was "Paternity Court." One guy in my office described it as "The last show on my list to work on. But I would work on it." Do you think it's worth to pay to play?
