Proof That Appointment Times Work

From Brian Ram at Jammin’ in New London: I guess appointment times work.... "My 6 year old daughter Leia heard your radio commercial last night reminding people to call in at 8am for their chance to qualify for the beach house. She was absolutely certain that I would forget to try and call, so she left me the attached reminder note. "Tomorrow morning at eight you get a chance to borrow a beach house. Can't wait!" I just thought this was very cute and wanted to share!”

Celebrity Visits To Morning Shows

The how/why I was reading People magazine in a beauty salon on Friday is too hard to explain, even if I wanted to. But one of their features is “What’s In Their Bag?”. They ambush a celeb and have them dump out their bag. In an era where we’ve dumbed down live celebrity appearances to pretty much a photo opp, it seems like that could be a feature. In lieu of a purse, a wallet would work too.

Jo Jo Wright is a marginally talented individual with a miniscule following and he has for years, had every guest take off their shoes for a photo of their feet. (The guy has issues. He used to be my roommate and he had Batman sheets on his bed)

What about what their mobile phone screen shot is? “Dana Delany was in this morning and here is her screen saver pic: a photo of the Grand Canyon!” Or what is their ringtone. I think the audience might actually care to hear what Nick Jona’s ringtone is.

Dave Ryan once had Jessica Simpson burp in a Mt. Dew bottle, he sealed it and sold it on eBay for charity. There are two potential bits there:

• Get a burp from every guest and hang the bottles on the wall in the studio next to a signature of authenticity. The Wall Of ‘Urps.
• Get their permission to grab one item from their bag or wallet, like an ATM receipt or a parking stuff, have them sign it and sell it for charity. Trust me, if you had Dana Delany’s grocery store receipt, I’d bid my brains out.

Ditto with A Christmas Carol. Every person who comes through, have them cut a line from it. Edit it together and play it on the last morning show before Christmas. But only if you get Dana Delany to do it.
