So $100,000 grand price, with zero production value, and no network to carry the show. El Wingador wants to make sure he fully embarrasses himself.

Yeah, I mean this is all contingent upon the producers finding a network that will actually greenlight and fund the show, so really it’s a meaningless announcement. It’s like if I were I were to offer you $500,000 if you could help me make a $1,000,000.

I heard CBS was said to pick it up. That WIP greased the wheels for him.

You are competely high if you think the CBS Network is going to put any investment into this production. What time slot? Are you kidding me? I don’t care who Angelo may have called. A DJ and program director from any market besides New York or LA, does not have the pull to make that happen. And, even that’s debateble, unless you are someone like Stern or Limbaugh. Sorry El Wingador, you are not nationally recognized or talented enough to emcee or gain backing for such a show. Besides, the best known top MLE eaters (Joey and Sonya) in the nation would not participate in any manner, guest or otherwise with El Wingo as emcee. Kobi might be desperate enough, he might cameo, but he can’t speak English and try to sell that to the suits. Hey, it’s okay to float stuff to get a vibe behind it. But don’t come across as so bush league that you think any talk of network interest and utube promos is going to have any influence over network multi million, billion dollar decisions and investments. Local affiliates, minor cable deal, maybe. But networks? If anyone involved in this production actually believes that national networks would be interested, than this project has already failed due to extreme stupidity of those behind it. Give me a break.
