Maybe We'll Have You Back: the Life of a Perennial Tv Guest Star
“In fact, my first time ever on the set of a TV show, I was going to be a series regular. The way it came about, I thought this TV business was going to be pretty easy. Instead, I nearly didn’t survive my first week.
I walked into my first network audition in April 1989. Luckily I had no idea I was going to be in front of the most famous TV executive in America, so I didn’t have time to get anxious about it. All I knew was I had passed the preliminary cut for a Mel Brooks pilot about a wacky... hotel called The Nutt House. Now I had to be approved by network honchos. When I got to NBC studios in Burbank and looked around the room at the fifteen people deciding my fate, I recognized one right away—Brandon Tartikoff, who was so young and hip he’d appeared as himself on Saturday Night Live and Night Court and been profiled in Rolling Stone.
Mel Brooks was not there. I wish I could remember the lines; it was just me timidly answering a few questions from my stern supervisor.MoreLess
