My (out) take on the show.

Um, I think, ah, I'm uh, going to uh, try to keep, um, from filling in ah, between uh words, um, when I host.

I reviewed the show tape and a couple of things came to mind.

First, while the use of accents is great and can probably helped scenes, it really doesn't work when used on 185 and WW, which was a problem during the show. I think when the audience hears an accent they assume there is a reason for the performer doing it, i.e. relating to the lines delivered. And when it doesn't relate there is confusion.

Second, a thought came to mind about why some scenes work and some don't. I think it's a problem of adding information. But not just any information.

I think about scenes I've enjoyed in the past and it's the ones that take a leap and make me anticipate what's next. Example: I'm playing a guy and Vic is my southern belle wife(of course). He(she) pulls out a photo and says "Junior looks so handsome in his graduation robes" And I say, "Yes he does, what's for dinner?"

Now I've added information, sure-I'm hungry-not very interesting-who cares where this goes.

Let's try it again: Vic "Junior looks so handsome in his graduation robes" Me: "Yes he does. I've never really noticed this before, but Junior looks a whole lot more like our neighbor, Bill Johnson, than he does me!" Then Vic can blush and the audience can laugh thinking that my wife sleeps around. But this certainly Sets up a scene worth exploring.

So I'm going to work not just adding information, but adding interesting information.
