Yes. I'm a big fan of
The Secret. Ever since my friend and
comedian, Dobie Maxwell, lent me a copy of the video of the same name, I always seem to have a bit of
"universal attraction" floating in the back of my mind. If nothing else, it's just plain fun. The video is also a great motivator if watched while walking on a treadmill. It seems to put a little skip in my step. Positive attitude goes a long way in life.
Today I had one of those "secret" moments which really caused my jaw to drop! As I drove in my car from errand to errand throughout the northwest suburbs of
Chicago, I listened to
WGN Radio. I am fascinated by the humor and interaction of
Bill Leff and Wendy Snyder. (Actually one of the things that truly amazes me about Bill Leff is his professional ability to "sell" a commercial without making innumerable jokes about the product. Knowing the quick comedic mind of Bill Leff from his days as a
stand-up comedian, I am sure this takes amazing restraint!)
As I listened to the two co-hosts interact I imagined how absolutely wonderful it would be to co-host a show on
WGN Radio. I absolutely love being a guest
comedian on
WGN Radio and whenever I leave the Chicago radio station after an interview, I feel like the kid who has to leave the birthday party early. To me, being a guest on the radio is very much like having an endless conversation with a girlfriend on the phone. Chat, chat, laugh, chat and laugh. What's not to like?! Let's just say I was basically consumed by these thoughts of co-hosting on
WGN Radio as I ran errands this afternoon and could not let them go.
When I came home from running my errands I sat down at my computer and there was an email from
Rick Geiser who is the publicist for
Zanies Comedy Clubs. Right there in front of me in black and white was an inquiry as to whether I would like to co-host an hour show on
WGN Radio on November 13th at 10:00 a.m. with
Frank Fontana! Would I?!
The universe and all that is good came together today and I am having the best time! Here's to "
The Voice of Chicago!"
