If memory serves the paley center in New York used to be called the museum of radio and television and it's a great wonderful resource and that they have. Groups of people who common in talkin' and stars from shows who go in and describe like the on scrubs -- a funny show is that still on icon aspects. They had a lot of the stars like Zach Braff in the withdrew creator and they did this big. In then -- asking questions and they showed clips and they described how they wrote the jokes and stuff so if you find yourself. In New York with a couple of hours in mid town it's a rainy day whenever it's just absolutely as legit as any other museum you might go to you can you don't have to be ashamed to say I went to watch TV for a few hours you can say I would like go."

" To the -- to the natural history museum right max it absolutely is married I know -- come. It's funny my dad always set an end up with the job that opinion watched TV."

" She you know what you're a genius you've figured out a sea -- still have to do TV for money I -- I'm alone no -- are now."

" Jody you're so talented you're so incredible the way you dude yet. If you were really really smart you'd like me you have your feet up -- back. An adult beverage -- watching soap operas and talk nuclear doing research well you know that's why I was a television major in college so -- did get."

Neglect to include doing it so they would assure that that's its status. I'm -- I'm angry I'm right -- some upset you know what it."

" I've moved on Macs and you -- to the anger is not gonna get you anywhere but let me just explain to people are talking about bigger part of the five finishes and angry denial bargaining depression and acceptance Elizabeth cooler roster joining us on the island. I shot a pilot for a reality show called shark tank produced by Mark Burnett -- brilliant genius creator of survivor and apprentice and whatever and this was and this happens all the time in show business debut was grade I met wonderful people it was terrific. But in the end they tweaked the format and they completely eliminated the role of -- host altogether. So I didn't get to do it and I was disappointed that I I have no ill will -- and the only thing that could have been more disappointing though is if -- been replaced by Ryan Seacrest recently I went and the new American -- Coleman. So at least a -- Don Coleman well I'm gonna try and worked my way through acceptance but I. Our got a ways to go beyond this with our I don't get stuck on bargaining denial or any of that I. I can just give me you are the first lucky caller to be on the air with a brilliant and insightful max robins -- and --"

" Why -- this is hundreds of years ago and they didn't even have indoor plumbing in the castle they certainly didn't have Blake damn right it was smile. And crafts with flora. You know it's is none of these actors are really willing to go all the way and commit to the role like I mean -- Niro in raging -- he packed on the pounds and it was worth -- but if you're an actress -- you go for an audition for some -- Sons of -- hearing any -- your perfect teeth that you just.
