The Cruise
May 3rd, 2006Sadly, Premiere Radio Networks, the place that was sending me out for those radio spots, folded. I don’t THINK I was the cause of its demise, but ya never know. Maybe I was. The woman who ran PRN, was kind enough to give me a bunch of contacts at various radio stations all over the country. So I contacted just about all of them. Most of them never got back to me. But yesterday I did receive an email from a radio station in Hartford, Connecticutt asking if I could do a Tom Cruise impression. I replied with an emphatic “yes”, even though I’ve never really done “TC” before. The Hartford DJ said they couldn’t really pay me for it, but would try to “hook me up” with other CBS radio stations across the country. And so I called up the radio station and did my best “Cruise” for ‘em. Since I wasn’t getting paid, I didn’t really care whether or not I sounded anything like The Cruise. But I think I did an okay job. I basically just sounded over-enthusiastic while mentioning Katie, Suri, MI-III, and of course, Scientology. I did slip up at one point by giving a shout out to my “nutritionalist”. But hey, maybe The Cruise actually has a “nutrionalist”. Ya never know with those Hollywood types.
Either way, here’s hoping the Hartford station calls me up tomorrow and asks me to do my best C. Thomas Howell impression for them.. for free.
