OK! So ...
I asked for questions, I promised to answer how many, Tom?
Three questions. That's Tom, by the way. He's going to ask the first three questions that were proposed on Facebook
in this little made-up show we're calling 3 in 3
based on the theory that every question deserves a one-minute answer and no
one should be subjected to any answer that goes on beyond 60 seconds. So if all
goes to plan, as soon as you go we'll spend 3 minutes
answering three questions.
First question: Any new shows in the works?
Wait a second. Does the answer start when I start talking
or when you ask the question?
What was the question? Any new shows in the works? This is getting off to a ragged start but fortunately it does not require a long answer.
Uh, lots of ideas. I'm in what they call ... if I were in the finance business, I'm in
they call this the diligence phase.
I'm meeting people, I'm shaking hands,
I'm taking meetings. I'm having dinners. I'm having breakfasts.
More dinners than breakfasts although a couple of breakfasts, two brunches and one very
productive lunch.
I talk with important people in overpriced suits about the direction of the industry
and we try and drill down
on a kind of show that would resonate with the key demographic
and still satisfy
that part of me that yearns to break out and be free.
Five seconds left? I'd said everything. But thank you.
That was an excellent question.
"Why is the sky blue?"
Does he say blue or bleu?
George, the sky
the sky is not blue. At all. The sky merely appears to be blue.

"Why did Dirty Jobs get canceled?"
Brian, that's a big question. So many ways to go.
I'm going to blame it on the second law of thermodynamics ...
which posits that we exist in a disintegrating universe
and it was just time.
The show had been on for eight years.
Uh,
programming is going in a different direction nowadays, you know
and I'm older than I've ever been. Dirty Jobs is a very physical show. When I stand up now very quickly
my right knee makes a popping sound not unlike [POP] that.
It's troubling. And so
I listened to my body,
I listened to my instincts.
And most importantly, I listened to my bosses.
We were done. My big regret is that we didn't have a chance to really say thanks to the
fans but
you know what? Never say never.
Our time is up. This was fun! Those were good questions.
How many did we get altogether? We got 57 or 60 in 20 minutes.
61.
Wow.
Well thank you for your questions. This was great. All right, then.
How do we know we're done? CUT!
