...OK, what happened? Does anyone even read this thing anymore?
Yes, I'll admit, I said I was gonna do this whole Game Show Challenge every week, blah blah blah, that failed hard on its face.
But this isn't. Yes, folks, I'm officially a published journalist. I interviewed former "Price is Right" announcer Rich Fields (cripes, again with the game shows, I know) about the circumstances surrounding his sudden departure.
Allow me to editorialize for a bit. I am pissed that Rich is gone. He and Drew had the kind of chemistry going that no improv comic can ever generate. You could tell it was just two friends bouncing jokes off each other, having a good time, giving away a shit ton of money in the process. (And I know, I was a beneficiary of $34,021 of that...) On top of that, some people say nice guys and Hollywood don't mix...not the case at all with Rich (and Drew too, for that matter). The mere fact that he granted me--me! A frakkin' college student!--that interview speaks to that.
So when I asked for someone to come with me to TPIR last November, and no one responded...believe me, you were missing out not just on me winning, but the impeccable personality of Rich Fields.
Now I'll get the hell off my soapbox. Shameless plug: watch me live on Platforum Mondays at 5:30, channel 8 on USC!
