I got an Assignment!

So the time has come and I got myself my very first assignment! It's not one of the major ones w/ any of the shows, but it's still pretty cool. I'm the new Orientation and Alumni Page. So I am in charge of training all the new pages, which is a pretty cool responsibility to have for being so new to the program myself! I also am in charge of staying in contact with the Page Alumni to keep them in the know of what's going on. Pretty fun! I have 2 new pages starting on Monday so they're wasting no time putting me to work!

I also applied for Today Show Green Room so we'll see if I get any more info on that. I'll keep you posted. See you later!

Cue the sad music

I didn't get the Digital Media assigment. I'm kinda bummed, but it's ok because it went to someone who will do a great job! I had a really great interview though, so I was feeling pretty good about it. Oh well, all the Today show assigments are coming up!

It's Assignment Season in Pageland!

The assignments opportunities are coming in like crazy in Pagetown, USA! Unfortunately I did not get the SNL assigment that I wanted, but there is a chance that I may get the position of seating director or key, which is kinda cool, too! Regardless of whether I get an assignment, I will definitely be working the show almost every week, so I won't have to miss any of the excitement. Some other good news, I have an interview tomorrow with Digital Media for an assignment there. Digital Media is responsible for the up-and-coming broadband entertainment that NBC will be launching later in the fall. I can't say a whole lot about it, but it's a really fast-growing department. We'll see how it goes! If that doesn't work out I'm going for Today production or green room. When it rains it pours!

The apartment search SUCKS!!!!!! Brokers in NYC are liars and I actually had to yell at one and walk out of his office on Sunday. It was very empowering. Then, apparently the fates felt bad for me and placed a bar with FREE BEER in my path on the way home. *looks up at the sky* thanks, big guy! That definitely made the day better.

I got to speak with Liz Farry a few times this week! The Westminnies had their first County Line of the season and of course I had to see how it went! I'm really proud that you guys got rolling so early this year! Keep up the great work! I wish I could see the show! Send me a tape!

I didn't get any money in the mail this week. You guys are cheap. Haha! Just kidding! I appreciate non-monitary cards just as much as the money-filled kind! Thanks to Mr. Weaver for my SpongeBob postcard! And to Amanda Stano for the awesome card! They're all up on my wall!

Celeb sighting of the week: I actually just saw Clinton Kelly from TLC's What Not To Wear on my walk home today! He was just walking down the street. I pointed. Haha. That's all for now!

Update!

Nothing too exciting as of yet, but I found out today that I have an interview for the SNL assignment. I'm pretty sure that everyone who applied got one, because it's a 2-step process, but I'm a decent interviewer so wish me luck! Think good thoughts on Thursday at 2:10!

Live from New York?

Things are going great in the Big Apple! I haven't updated in a while, but there hasn't been much to report. I'm still touring 6 days a week (Ya, that's right...) and I'm still in the process of learning how to give VIP tours. I haven't given any yet, but I'm sure some are on the way!

Last Friday I applied for several positions for the upcoming seasons of Saturday Night Live! I'm still very low on the totem pole, but hopefully some good luck will come my way! The positions I applied for were:

• Desk, where I'd work at SNL all week including Saturday and assist in every part of the show process where they need me.
• Escort, where I'd run the celebs and cast members around on Saturday to get them from hair, makeup, etc
• and Key, which is one of the people that coordinates the audience seating and hangs out in the background while the show is taking place.

Any of them would be great, but the desk is what I really want! The good news is that the position only lasts until December, so they'll open up again in January and I'll get a second shot! Keep your fingers crossed!

No celeb sightings this week, but I am working Late Night w/ Conan O'Brien tomorrow, so hopefully I'll have something good to report! I have 2 shout outs this week. Crystal Schumacher sent me a really nice card and a crisp one dollar bill! Hope things are going well in Tampa, buddy! The second shout out goes to my Grandma. She goes to my cousin's house once a week so she can get online to read my blog! Love you, Gram!
