Guest On a Talk Show

You never really think about all the different types of VIP guest you see on Oprah or the Tyra Banks Show or Ellen. But today when I was watching Oprah with Tina Fay and Steve Carrol for their interview on their most recent movie they just played in, Date Night, it made me think about what would I be asked and what would I be like if I were to go on a talk show after successfully selling #1 Bestselling novels. I mean really, I don't know if you guys noticed or not but when ever someone asks me about my books I get really nervous and I simply always say "You'll just have to read it. I'm a really bad explainer." Then the person looks kind of down. I don't blame them! I mean, I'm THRILLED about people taking an interest in my writing and wanna know more, that's GREAT! But honestly, I am a terrible explainer. So I pray that the host wont say "What is your book about?" I don't think he or she will ask that though since the answer is right in front of them (usually the host will have some kind of prop based on whatever the talk show is about. Ex: a copy of my book.)


Alright now, I wonder which talk show I'd most likely to be on. To me, every talk show host is different. Like, iCarly and The Tonight Show are completely opposite of each other. Although, iCarly really isn't a talk show-talk show. Sometimes they have VIP on there.  Ellen has always been my favorite! I loved her from the time she played dory on Finding Nemo! She's such a character in real life and she brings animated characters to life! She's hilarious, down to earth, and seems like a really nice person. Besides, if you ever get lost she's awesome with directions (P. Sherman 42 Wallaby Way Sydney.)





I'd love to meet Ellen she makes everything more fun. Maybe I should have my people call her people! HA!  Ellen I believe can make you lighten up when you're nervous plus she gets to the point so the interview is not to short and simple. I wonder what she would ask me. I mean, I DID have a unprofessional interview (but it was a really good interview) by my youngest sister. She was practicing on me because she wants to be an advice columnist when she grows up like Phoebe on Charmed.. Plus, I think she also wanted to do 'somethings' with interviewing VIP. Her questions were really good. Questions I never thought about before but somehow easy to answer but interesting. So BRAVO sis!

But now my sister wants to be a lawyer which is funny because Phoebe's demon boyfriend was a lawyer!


If I ever end up on a talk show or my books are talked about, I will definitely let you all know and tell you the time I will be airing.  Maybe I will bring an interview buddy with me like Tina Fay did today! Even though this person has nothing to do with my books or anything (except she is my idol and all that good stuff) I'd love to bring Melinda Shankar from one of my favorite TV series: Degrassi!

She plays Alli Bhandari! My favorite character, if I have not already mentioned that.

You never know who you will get to know in the future if you become famous or...whatever. Melinda was really surprised the other day when she got to meet her idol"s"! Yes, its plural! She took pictures with them and everything and posted it to her FanPage on facebook! Otherwise I'd love to bring my favorite author with me too: Meg Cabot     .
So always, always, always take a wonderful opportunity when one comes knocking on your door because it will lead to new things and possibly new people. Hey, my cousin met Julia Roberts when she went to New York with her choir class! See? So go for it guys! You only live once!  Even though I might get all nervous and freez, I'm still gonna go on that talk show! 
(Oh by the way guys, Degrassi is on in FIVE MINUTES!)
Holly Crap, I gotta go guys!  Byyye!
