    A New Show - Need Help

    I'm pitching a show soon. I've gotten some wonderful reviews from producers to whom I practice pitched.
    All I need now to help convince networks they want to meet me(apart from the show itself) is some shiny quotes from performers about what a great, hilarious, genuinely passionate host I would make for this show. It's a good show, exploring the world of variety performance. You just gotta trust me. Great angle.

    I need quotes.

    Good ones.
    Not like,
    "You suck" -- Scot Nery.

    Something about my freaking funniness, my charm, genuine passion and knowledge of my subject matter, etc. Might help if you've met me. ...or maybe not. I was pretty out of it and awkward when I met Martin and a few others.

    Help?

    You can pm or e-mail me if you'd like. Not trying to make this into a desperate plea for public praise.

    A sentence or two would do.

    Get in touch, yo! It would help me tremendously.

    Well, maybe I WILL just keep telling myself that.

      Give me an example of how... Like, for instance, what would your quote be, if I were to make it up?

      (Golly, I'm so sneaky!!)

        passion, charm and funniness can be demonstrated in the pitch. What you need is credibility and value (like celebrity attachment, track record or connection to a currently successful product). I'll give you a quote anyway.

        "George Washington Carver was similar in his devotion to a strange cause. He spent his whole life seeking respect for the peanut. I don't know where Rachel's going with her passion for performers, but I'll bet it's surprising and hilarious -- and better than peanut butter."

          well, thanks for not saying I suck.

          That said... I doooooo find peanut butter to be pretty good.

                if you've seen one jugular, you've seen them all

                “Rachel stood at the center of a circle show in the world of the audaciously bizarre. I watched the blood of eccentric tricksters flow through her veins. Yet, throughout it all, she has remained quintessentially human."
