I Messed Up

Last night’s show was one for the ages.  I had my A-game and the material to go along with it.  There were no technical issues.  Everything was going along smoothly.  I think I went the entire show without going “um” while looking for the word I wanted to say.  There were only two problems:

• I forgot to hit the “Go Live” button so nobody got to watch the show live.  And…
• I forgot to hit “Record” so nobody can see the masterpiece.

I am going to tell you my secret to show preparation:  On a half-hour show, Only five to ten minutes of it is outlined.  The rest is ad-libbed based on the audience and whatever pops in my head during the show.

For those familiar with “Sunday Night Football” on NBC, I have added my player introduction as if I was playing in the game.
