Man Excited About Fancy New Toilet, Being On TV
WTXF NEWS DIRECTOR: We’ve got a two minute hole to fill. I guess we run what’s basically a commercial for a $6000 toilet while you extol its virtues in voiceover, but I worry about the actual newsiness of it. As presently constituted it lacks urgency.
MIKE JERRICK: How about I open the segment by coming out of a bathroom stall?
WTXF NEWS DIRECTOR: Brilliant!
MIKE JERRICK: Maybe we could peg it to tax day. You know, expensive new toilet, why not use your refund money to buy it?
WTXF NEWS DIRECTOR: Jerrick, you’re a fancy-toilet pimping Edward R. Murrow. If only they gave out Pulitzers for television.
