Worst WGN Guest EVER
For the record, I came from a family of four kids, not seven. I was nervous.
Joe is the one who came from a family of seven.
English majors aren't good at math.
Or at radio.
Or at hiding the donuts once they realize the nutrition expert is in the studio:
I don't care what the "industry people" recommend for next time (if there is one). Jim Beam and I will be tying one on.
Kathie Lee & Hoda got it right.
Which is why I'm only listening to drunk women from here on out.
I thought you did a GREAT job! You sounded enthusiastic and engaged with what was being discussed and very energetic! Absolutely enjoyed the interview!

I love you, Betty.
DeleteWhat? This was awesome! Congrats on the book, and on being epic. And on being Irish. Jim Beam and a box full of donuts...what more could a person want?
ReplyDeleteLucidity?
DeleteAh, but why be boring, right?
Thank you for the kind words of support!! (:
BRAVO and errr any donuts left??? Good job girlie!!
ReplyDeleteThank you! And I'm pleading the 5th on the donut question.
DeleteO think we need our own radio show. We'll call it "Two English Majors and a Bottle." We'd be bigger than Rush Limbaugh (collectively, not individually).
ReplyDeleteKirby - I do believe you're onto something! But ONE bottle? We should probably up our quantity just a bit. To like ten.
DeleteOh, shut up, you were great! Congratulations on the book!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Skwish! And thanks for the "like!"
DeleteI'm just in awe of your in-laws. Six boys and one girl...seven kids. Just letting that sink in right now. Wow!
ReplyDeleteYou are very funny, Marianne! I think you did a great job on your radio interview. This is very exciting and I cannot wait to get my hands on that book!
That's it. I'm finding you a house in Chicago tomorrow. What support!
DeleteThanks, Lillian!
You were wonderful! Very funny and charming, honestly. And I love that you've let yourself off the hook. I did too, I think we all should. Then we could be honest parents instead of trying to be perfect parents.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Vesuvius. I'm so lucky to have folks like you who make me feel a lot less like a big loser. Have a wonderful Thanksgiving!
DeleteYou're too hard on yourself! You're so cute!!! I am sure you were awesome! :-)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Kat!
DeleteOh, I just listened to it and it is great!!! It's really hard to do live interviews, but you were great!
ReplyDeleteThank you! I suppose it's all good practice for my sit-down with Barbara Walters, right? (;
DeleteNice Job Marianne...
ReplyDeleteMBF
I guess I should view it as a success, right? I didn't swear once. Thanks!
DeleteIt was so not that bad! You were awesome! Good for you; you got the first time out of the way, now next time it'll be easier. :)
ReplyDeleteThat's right! I knew I could count on you for a positive spin, Larissa. Thank you! (:
DeleteNice! Congratulations!!
ReplyDeleteThanks, Betsy!
DeleteYou did great! I loved it! And, that box of donuts would have made my day!
ReplyDeleteDonuts are always the answer, right? Mmmmm....donuts....
DeleteThank you!
You did a great job, but wow! I have a whole new sense of how hard a live interview must be ... he wasn't exactly easy on you! (And still, you rocked it. Pretty amazing, if you ask me.)
ReplyDeleteThanks, Jennifer! Definitely more liquor for next time! (:
DeleteI think you did great considering it's hard to be funny when you are the only funny person in the room Sorry Bill
ReplyDeleteThanks for the kind words, Kate!
DeleteI'm with everyone here - you did great! It doesn't matter how many siblings you think you grew up with. :-)
ReplyDeleteHa! My brother called tonight & was all "where are these other siblings of which you speak???"
ReplyDeleteThanks for the support, Mare!
Right on Marianne. I see humble Harriet in the making. PS: There were two funny people in the WGN radio studio....you and your driver.
ReplyDeleteSF
Oh YAY! I'm so glad that I got to listen to this. You are funny. haha...laughing about how you said you came from a family of 7 kids.
ReplyDeleteCute photo as well. :)
