I used to think so (the joyous ego of youth....), but today, I'm not as sure. I still host game events for parties, church, and like a lot of you, got the chance to do high school classroom versions of the then-popular shows. Then I did the two cable shows. Geno has seen them, and as a wise person once wrote, better someone else toot your horn than you. In each of these situations, I was in total control - the material, the rules, and the like. In the big leagues, I'd have to learn to take instruction from the people who are professionals and not try to run the show. That takes a lot of faith, because even though you may have the core talent, the producers decide how they want it to come across. What was the description Maxene Fabe wrote on how Lyn Bolen wanted Jim MacKrell to come across..."Nice, but dangerous when drunk"?
I wouldn't mind trying in a syndie shot first - but the moment I forget that the show is about the game and the contestants, not about me, I'll be in trouble.
True, I'd have to keep dropping inches (a work in progress), but I don't see a big problem with having a little snow on the roof. Depending on the format, it could come across as being a bit more "seasoned" than being some yammering pretty-boy.
