TV Shows I’ll Never Forget

Being on O’Reilly caused a memory blip

Have you ever appeared on a major national TV show that reaches an audience of millions? I have, many times, but there are two appearances that I’ll never forget.

One of those unforgettable appearances was on the hugely successful “O’Reilly Factor.” At the zenith of his TV career, O’Reilly was commanding in stature (6'4" in height) and had over 4 million viewers on some evenings. I can’t remember what the topic was, but it was the first time I was to appear with Bill O’Reilly, and I didn’t know what to expect.

What I knew was that Fox had a talented hair lady, but did no makeup. “Please come prepared with your own makeup on,” was the curt command from the assistant producer (AP) that did the pre-interphone phoner to screen me.

HLN had an extraordinarily talented woman who did hair and makeup, as did MSNBC when they were in their New Jersey studios. I loved appearing on any of their shows because I looked marvelous. Yes, looks matter on TV, but that’s no secret to anyone.
