The Tim Tebow of the Teleprompter!

In case you missed it, I don’t read from a teleprompter that often, which is why I seem to screw it up!

Now I’m not downing myself.  I’m just kidding around.

I’m like the Tim Tebow of the teleprompter; I’m horrible in the first half, decent in the third portion, and finish strong in the end.

Tonight I added a line that wasn’t in the teleprompter so it threw the operator off a little bit.

I fumbled and paused momentarily (although it feels like five minutes when you’re on live TV).

I called my producer and asked her to give me another chance on the set.

Let me tell you, it’s not as easy reading off a teleprompter as news anchors and some politicians make it look!

I’ll get better though.

The producer said she’d give me another chance.
