On TV appearances (yes, we can dream)

I realized this morning that if I succeed in my quest to blog every day in February, it will exactly match the number of posts I made in all of 2009. Talk about slacking! Sheesh.



So yesterday's writing turned into editing, but hey, I consider it progress. And now, after a full day of soccer and a birthday party (which I forgot and had to run to buy a gift 10 minutes before), I'm home and just want to nap. I wish. That is so not in the cards for me. Puppy needs to run.


OK, now I'm exhausted AND out of breath.


So I have a question for all you writers out there. (And you non-writers too. Pretend you became famous another way) Say it happens. You publish your novel to great success. Bestseller. Fame! Woot! Yay you! Which TV show would you want to appear on? Your choice.


Me? I'm all about Jimmy Kimmel. Yes I know Oprah would do more for the writing career. And really, would being on Kimmel sell even one more of my YA novels? Probably not. But seriously, I love Kimmel. There's just something about that man that does it for me. I would love to sit and have a little banter with him. He would totally rock my world. No contest. He's my choice. How about you? Who would you choose?

Oprah, but she'll be retired by the time I'm a superstar. So, I'll pick Ellen because I totally want to dance with her!

Anissa said...

I can totally see you dancing with Ellen!

Tiffany Neal said...

Conan. Oh. Wait. He was kicked off his show by Jay Leno.
Ummm...Oprah.
One can wish, right?

Nice to meet you Anissa! I'm having a blast meeting all of you YA writers!!!

I honestly wouldn't prefer to be on TV at all. If I had to, I'd do it but otherwise, count me out.

Hmm... I don't get the chance to watch talk shows so I'm not really into them.

I'd go with Jon Stewart or Stephen Colbert because they're smart and they make me laugh (and they'd probably make me look like a fool, lol, but it'd be fun)

Jon Paul said...

I'd want a double play of John Stewart and Stephen Colbert. I saw Colbert live in July and he was hilarious.

I would also have to say Jon Stewart, but Jimmy Kimmel would be great and Chelsea Handler on Chelsea Lately would be fun too.

Mystery Robin said...

I adore Jimmy! I was all set to say "Me too!" Till I saw the comment that said Ellen - wow - how does one choose? Can I be famous enough to be on both?

Kimberly Conway said...

I'd go with Bonnie Hunt. I love her show!

Anissa said...

Tiffany! I love how you threw the Conan/Jay Leno debacle in. Nicely done!

LT - I have no desire to be famous. But Oh, to sit with Jimmy Kimmel...

Anissa said...

Dangerous, meet Jon Paul. You chose the same two! Way to go. ;)

Anissa said...

Julie - I understand. You can leave Jimmy to me.

Robin - Dancing with Ellen would be something...nah, I'm sticking with Jimmy.

Kimberly - Nice choice. :)
