TERRIBLE ADVANCE

Great story of a kid that was so bored by the President, he could barely stay awake. Then Letterman made fun of him, and people thought that Letterman edited the kid into the shot.



Now, that's some terrible advance work.

One of my first big site advance gigs with Mrs. Clinton was at a middle school in Queens. The speech I gave the kids ("THE WORLD WILL BE WATCHING YOU!" and "your school, your family, your whole life will be judged on how you look on TV") did a little too much. My friends who were watching from home said the children were so stiff it looked like they were just a painting of kids.
