Star 101.3 - The Don Bleu Call

It's my birthday and I hardly realize it. Then the phone rings. It is 7:30AM and it's gotta be my family calling from India. I pick it up and it's Don Bleu and Uzette! And no, it's not a blooper call. I am one of the finalists for the Kelly Clarkson Ford Mustang contest. They picked me for my bold move at quitting my Corporate job to start out as a Standup Comic.

I go live on air and I even get to tell a joke. Finally they take down my information and hopefully I'll get tickets to go see Kelly Clarkson AND have a chance at winning the Ford and get some good publicity.

Promote, Promote, Promote, that's what showbiz is all about, assuming that there is a product in the first place.

Now I better get working on that product part.

Imitating Ethnic Accents

I heard Tracy Ullman making fun of ethnic minorities, imitating their accents. Tracy spoke out on National Radio against political correctness.

I wonder if she realizes how she would sound if she ever spoke Hindi or Chinese or Arabic. First she would need to actually learn another language. Then she would realize that no matter how hard she tries, she would sound like an idiot to a native speaker. Then a native speaker comic would imitate her accent and make her realize how ridiculous she actually sounds. I don't think she would be laughing much but the native speakers would have a ton of fun.

Thank goodness for political correctness.
