As seen on TV
When you watch TV there is a whole group of people who work on the newscast.. who you never see.
I am a TV producer. That means I sit in a control room and write stories for the newscast. And tell people ON TV what to do.
Producers are NOT normally on TV. But we wanted to show viewers what it is like in the newsroom. So every day at 5:30... I wind up on TV to tell you.... at home... what it is like.
So it seems like it would be easy, but it is NOT easy. I have learned the following things:
1. If you get popped up on TV and you weren't ready it is very distracting. And you will probably mess up and stumble all over yourself
2. You have to wear A LOT of make up or you will look pale on camera
3. Walt is funny in real life, but on TV he may ask you a question you don't know the answer to and then you have to quickly think of something smart to say... because you are on TV.
4. If you don't stand a certain way, you will definitely look fat.
5. Amanda is really good at using her hands to convey messages. I, on the other hand use my hands while talking way too much, and will probably hit someone one of these days.
Here's a link to one of my "appearances":

I don't think I'll be getting Walt's job any time soon :)
