How often can you say your husband appeared on national TV? The long awaited RV 2006 aired last night and we finally got to see Phil show off the 32 foot Born Free. It was long coming. They filmed it last summer, in 100 degree heat and 100% humidity. Hershey PA was the place, Phil shot for three hours!!! Three hours for what, about 3 minutes of TV time.
It's been around eight months of wondering, wondering if he made the cut, wondering when it would air, wondering if he came off stupid or ok. Yesterday we were worked up into a frenzy. Luckily, we had tickets to see Lion King in Des Moines. Phil bought me these tickets for my birthday in December of 2005. We had two things to do this past year, one was Lion King and the other HGTV, and they both happened on the same day. So, we drove the 2 hours to Des Moines, saw the wonderful, wonderful production of Lion King and headed home, arriving at six pm. That left four hours to live through before air time. We had dinner, cleaned up the dogs mess (from being left alone for 8 hours), watched home makeover, watched Sopranos (Tony's out of limbo having been called back from the brink of death by his pointy looking daughter Meadow). THEN THERE IT WAS!!! RV 2006. The host was a real nice guy, the show was put together really well. They started with Class A's and quickly got to the Class C's. At the beginning of the show the Born Free was used as the sample of the Class C, AND the host was sitting on the bench in front of the Born Free to introduce the show! Phil looked good, very professional. I told him---because I really think this---that he came across better than the rest. He said the leather chairs were "like butter" and we all laughed. The appearance had our phone ringing off the hook, first Susie then Celia, Krista and Allison.
Phil was more worked up that I realized. When it was over he headed up to bed, fatigue taking over. A restful sleep was had by all.
I can't wait to hear what people say at work today.
Phil--a TV star!! If you would like to have Phil appear in your movie---press one---now. If you would like to have Phil be national spokesperson for your product-----press two---now. All other questions----press three----now. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . ;-)
