I used to be a broadcast journalism major, so I can help with some of these.

1.) Deep blue, black, nothing too busy.
2.) Talk slowly, realizing that we’re prone to talk too quickly on camera anyways. You’ll have more time to process what you’re saying, which should result in fewer ums.
3.) Not really necessary. But could get awkward if the anchor decides last minute to do the interview standing up.
4.) In your mouth. People LOVE to hear nervous swallowing.
5.) Sure, if you give them a picture of a living room ahead of time and have them put it on the green screen.
6.) Not together.
7.)Just take the make-up. Better for your health, and those under eye circles the campaign has caused (I’m guessing).
8.)Loosen, but not too much.
9.) Please send the clip, so I can see what you’ve selected for the catchphrase.
10.) If she’s hot. Please note that her make-up might get on your make-up, or vice versa.
11.) Take a poll on this.
12.) Bring a bottle of wine to consume with the anchor during the interview. As an added bonus, this might make the kiss even better!
13.) Definitely. This could be a real highlight. (And may ensure you don’t have to ask these questions again!
14.) Please hold it.
15.) No response, but this did make me laugh.
16.) Bring your camera and act like you’re the paparazzi. Confuse them.

See, I’m very helpful! Best of luck.

1. You look good in blue….stick with what works.
2. Make sure you have a couple shots of something fruity and pink.
3. Wear those elastic waisted jeans. Although, beware if the cameraman drops the camera and inadvertently focuses in on your pants pouch.
4. Only put the mic in your mouth if you’re trying to seduce the anchorwoman.
5. It’s been known to happen….that’s why #3 is so important.
6. Place them jauntily on your hips. Thrust one hip out to the side. This makes you look confident and eliminates that 10 lbs. the camera adds.
7. Allow their professional make-up artist to caress your face for 30 minutes. Not only will you look better on camera, you will be so relaxed, #2 won’t be a problem.
8. Loosen the tie…it gives the impression that you are professional but cool….
9. Definitely have a catch phrase, but allow it to come to you in the moment. After your fruity drink shots and the face caressing, it will be golden.
10. Only if she is a brunette. Brunette’s do it better, every time.
11. Perhaps use the interview as leverage with W and B? If they behave, they can come. Make sure to drape W over your shoulder like a wrap….eat that, PETA.
12. Please refer to #2.
13. Rip off your shirt to reveal a tattoo of the Viticulture logo.
14. It’s a hard call. It all depends on how many fruity shots you had and how tight the pants are.
15. After every question. Take THAT, Anchorwoman!
16. Don’t be ungrateful. Pose. Wink. Throw out that catchphrase.

Be sure to come up with a good word to end each sentence. Booya, ya-know, thats-what-im-talking-about.

Both cats should be on camera at all times. Consult with them for an answer. Argue with them if they don’t agree.

I’ve had a few interviews. Most notably for a ribbon campaign for Natalee Holloway when I was at the University of Alabama. I really don’t remember much of what I said, but everyone told me I was phenominal. And I’m not the public speaking type. I think of it as the Will Ferrell blacking out in Old School scenario. My advice with be part serious and part joking. I’ll let you decide.

1. I wore red. It was the first shirt I grabbed. I literally got out of bed and ran to the interview, I still think red is a good choice. Also white with blue stripes is a classic look.
2. Don’t be afraid of a pause. If it’s not live they will be able to cut pauses out. If that’s the case it’s ok to mess up. Appear confident, even if you aren’t.
3. If you have the legs, show them off! I wore shorts.
4. You put it where they tell you. (With in reason)
5. Yes. If you happen to drift into a fantasy where (insert insanely hot woman) is watching and you imagine she finds you attractive and wills you into her living room. It’s a fantasy so there are endless possibilities.
6. It depends. Are you sitting standing? Just be sure to keep then out of your pockets. Slight hand motions are ok.
7. Maybe. There is never an occasion to get a fake tan.
8. I would go with a nice dress shirt and bring a tie just In case. It’s always good to be prepared. You can’t over dress because you can always dress down, but you can’t always dress up once you get there.
9. You catch phrase is “To the future!” Remember?
10. First off its anchor lady. And that’s a scientific fact! And absolutely! Unless you think you have a legitimate shot of taking her to dinner first. Then you should wait for the date. Just make sure cameras aren’t rolling if you dare to be so bold.
11. I would love if you brought your cats! But I’m not everybody, so it’s probably a good idea to leave them at home. Mention them, but don’t say they are cats. You could say something like, “I want to thank some of my best friend Walter and Biddy who stayed up late many nights contributing to the game.”
12. Bring a bottle of wine and a couple of glasses and finish the interview with a toast. Run the idea by the anchor lady first. You could bring a wine bottle filled with grape juice in case drinking on the job is a no-no.
13. No. The shirt should have a picture of Walter and Biddy.
14. Just go before hand. Then you should not have to worry about it.
15. Under the circumstance that the anchor lady is a judge and you are sworn to tell the truth, the whole truth, and nothing but the truth. If that’s the case, it’s a trap and you should just run.
16. Order a pizza build a fort and camp out inside. Sneak out when they have given up. That or bring flash/smoke grenades.
