OK.... back at the ol' blog again.
Just wanted to take a moment to address a serious mis-conception that might be circulating among our viewers. Contrary to what some of you may be thinking.... none of the news anchor types here at ABC4 is a diva!
Not once have I ever seen Ross Becker demand that the brown M&M candies be removed from the candy dish on the set. Never have I seen Randall Carlisle stomp off the set because the lighting doesn't accentuate the green in his eyes properly. Barb Smith and Erika Edberg?... nary a peep from either of them should they suddenly run out of make-up thirty seconds before we go to air. I repeat.... none of us are divas!
That's especially true for me!
... and I have the floor crew on Good Morning Utah to thank for it. I am held to a "one diva moment per week" clause in my contract. All the camera operators go to great lengths to keep me in line should I have a momentary lapse of professionalism.
One per week... that's it!
I had my diva moment for the week on Monday. Someone had forgotten that I only drink Fiji water on set... not Arrowhead! (IDIOTS) I stormed off the set during a commercial break and announced... "I'll be in my trailer!". I was eventually coaxed back after the floor crew explained to me that I could earn "diva credits" by bringing in doughnuts... or some other kind of breakfast treat. Very kind of them indeed. Very kind..... hmmmm.
The question now is... where can I pick up doughnuts at 3:00am? Guess I'll have to have my personal assistant pick them up for me. I'll send my driver around to pick him up.
Right after my mid-day massage and pedicure....
Until next time...
