I know a little about that complex. Where do you suppose they will store prizes and set pieces? I imagine a one-hour daily daytime show giving away different prizes every day will need more warehouse space than TPIR Live.

Listening to Monty's oral history, they will need a flying drop behind the doors and then about 50 feet of space behind that to keep prizes during each show. TPIR in studio 33 has the same requirement except the prizes are kept behind door 1 and behind Rich Fields.

Just a guess, but I wonder if this ad is for LMAD?

Wouldn't be surprised, good sir.

What would the ballpark of said compensation be? I admit ignorance to the sort of salary a PA commands.

Even in Vegas, I'd be surprised if it's more than $20,000/yr., esp. since the ad only mentions a couple of months.

/I once saw an ad for a PA for a certain celebrity newsmagazine

At least that's the theory that gives shows like that a seemingly unending stream of candidates willing to work for such a sum.
This has been another installment of Matt Ottinger's Masters of the Obvious.

Oh, I don't argue that in the slightest; gotta cut your teeth somewhere. In this case, you'll prolly do so eating Ramen Noodles. ;-)

Or, at least, the urban myth they keep alive among the workforce.

Cripes, on P+ I made $250 per week my first year and $300 per week my second year.

That was 30 years ago.

Wayne, don't let us down. It's not a sign of weakness to go to Monty for help.
You are reading this aren't you, Wayne? Wayne?
