so maybe the opportunity of my lifetime is apon me. Everyone knows about my radio "career" and how i love talking on a mic and ****. I do the improv, I do the internet show, I write stand up comedy etc. Well the biggest morning show here in charlotte just lost a host, and they are holding a contest to fill the persons spot. You gotta post a 3 minute CREATIVE video about yourself with some pics.....they will post the top 10 creations and have people vote on them.....the winner gets the gig, its a salaried position with the station, your on the morning show.....its kickass. Anyways i need ideas for the video. I was thinking of my wife shooting the kitchen with the camera(trying to be random as hell here) and i walk into the picture with a mustache, short shorts, chugging sunny delight (or another random drink) then i "notice" the camera man standing there and say something like "oh hey....didnt see you there. walk with me" then do a bunch of random **** explaining myself. Ill say "im from florida" turn a marlins hat sideways, "i love the dolphins" cut to me dancing infront of a zach thomas fat head "but i dont mind the panthers" show a clip of delhomme throwing a interception then cut to me laughing.....i notice the camera and shake my head "no" and compose myself. Then ill go into my improv backround, acting backround, radio backround etc etc anything else would be greatly appreciated....maybe tell them hey i can "blank" and name random stuff that anyone can do, but make it seem fantastic. i dunno, any ideas would be great.....and of course if iam one of the 10 picked ill need your help voting then ill shout out this site and all you crazy ****ers daily!!!!! lets start a revolution!!!!!
dunno but good luck and [ame="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tlg-sVjJxW8"]YouTube- Kids In The Hall - Chicken Lady - Phone Sex[/ame]
Go with your gut....first instincts are often the cream of the crop.....roll with the above as you described and I bet you nail it. - best wishes
Don't take this the wrong way, but the idea you had is NOT going to be funny. You need to make it MEMORABLE and a little raunchy. My 2 cents? Go out in public and interview "people on the street", use your friends for actors. Ask them ridiculous (and rude) questions about themselves. Insult the men, and proposition the women. Then go into the bit about your background. We'll vote for you no matter what you end up doing, bro.
I'm not talking Larry King or Bob Costas length interviews. I'm talking 15-20 seconds with each person. You ask them a question or two each before they tell you to eff off. Think old school Stuttering John, without the stuttering. Just offensive, funny questions. You can do a number of those in under 2 minutes.
This might not be what they are looking for though. I mean, EVERYONE has a Stuettering John ripoff now. Why pigeonhole yourself to something that has been done to death, even in an audition video? Sick, what type of morning show is this? Are we talking sports related? Top 40 Morning Zoo Crew Style, Hip Hop station? Rock Station? More info needed.
top 40, funny popular morning show....they talk american idol, chris brown, lady gaga, and do funny **** with their intern and everything....
bro do what you do you are a funny mother****er and just let thaat be seen. You just need to show your personallity and if people see that they will see wehat you can do. Im sure whatever you come up with will be funny just dont get too crazy, KISS, your first example is not bad , but can use some work. Good luck man, you are qualified for sure.
Well, your idea seems to be sports-centric, which, isn't bad if perhaps the role defined out for you is to be sort of the go to guy for sports, but I would maybe tone done some on the sports and maybe gear some of it towards the pop culture side of things to show that you are plugged in to that side of things too. So, maybe, as you walk in to the frame and introduce yourself and say you are from Miami and that you love sports, have it cut to you "seductively" dancing and rubbing all over the Zach Thomas fat head with the Dolphins theme in the background. Then have it cut back to you and you explain that there is more to you than just sports though, and that when it comes to pop culture, you could beat any other person entering this contest worse than Chris Brown did Rihanna (then cut to a picture of Chris Brown with Umbrella playing over the top). I would also have yourself walking up the stairs of your home or going outside, and at the same time, you are picking up Zachary, and telling the camera that you are also a family man, try to make Zach say Hi to the camera, if he refuses you just put him down real quick, call him a brat and keep walking. If he DOES say hi, then maybe have your wife come in and be like, "What are you doing with me son?" Pulls him from your arms while you look guilt ridden into the camera. This way, you are showing your sports side, your general pop eater knowledge, family side, and of course, your humor. Will it work? Who knows, but as someone else said, it is basically a hybrid of your original idea and its usually best to go with your instinct and what you believe in since, that tends to come across better on camera anyhow. Maybe somehow post a link to your radio website, improv website (if they have one) and also a random link to checkoutmyhorse.com
I agree with sentiment of the board, your a funny mother grabber, Just an idea for ya, cause i know your searching for inspiration, lol, take your idea, and samphins idea, and turn it into something like you in an episode of "cribs",welcoming them in your home, using your improv skills and wit while narating, and, have an occasional spaz out's humping your zach thomas fathead...... {too much?}..lol are you suppose to be funny, or more regular, ya know?
And the chicken suit should have a trapdoor in the back, and the trapdoor should fall open as she cooks, and... BRB.
Well, try to hit some pop culture figures in a funny light as that will dovetail into their format. For example you could take down a Ricky Martin poster and say: "why Ricky..why?" Do a drive thru skit or something as well, drop every third word..
I trust that you will come up with something funny.....just make sure it's yours, something original. Show them that you're someone that can generate your own quality material And good luck!
Radio hosts get so much a-s, girls are such tools. You could look like Enforcer and be in a band and get your carrot wet every night.
