I was asked to do a TV spot for a friend. It was one of those "Ask the Doctor" programs that airs on local cable and probably has a total viewership of 10 or 11 desperately bored people. They gave me a CD of the program and it sat on the counter for a month before I threw it away. Even my wife and kids couldn't bear to watch it. I don't blame them.
Anyway, there was some big awards banquet that I was invited to (I skipped it) and somehow I won a Telly award. It must be a mistake, because the show was awful. Really. Maybe it's the Special Olympics of Broadcasting award. Who knows.
It's a beautiful statuette made in the same foundry that makes the Oscar awards. It certainly doesn't represent any kind of real achievement. It really means nothing to me. I'm currently using it as a doorstop.
