April 28- “Hey-Are You Svengoolie?”
It’s already Monday again?! Wasn’t I just leaving our dungeon studio thinking- “It’s Friday, I have a whole weekend ahead of me! Woo Hoo!”?
We’ve been running into a lot of Sven fans when we’re out and about, and I appreciate all the nice comments from you folks.
When leaving the station with one of our loyal interns, a lady was staring at me, and asked if I was Svengoolie- and mentioned that she worked at a nearby police station, and is a big fan of the show! (No, she didn’t arrest me, thank you!) When we were out shooting some of the community calendar announcements out on location at the Art Institute, a very nice lady who worked there came over to tell me how much she enjoys the Sven show. I’m always happy to hear that, even after being on TV for (ahem) such a long time.
We were just outside the building here, shooting a webisode with “Sven’s brother Fraido” (you have to see these webisodes- they are pretty funny!)-we had people honking in greeting as they passed! Uh- for those of you who have never seen Fraido-
a Sven doppelganger ventriloquist dummy made as a surprise gift for us by our pal the amazing comic artist Alex Ross- make sure you watch for the “encore performance” of “Ghost of Frankenstein” next month on the show. I’ve gotten a lot of requests from viewers and co-workers, asking where they can buy a “Fraido”- but, unfortunately, Alex made just one! Unless we can arrange for some sweat shop on Pango Pango to start cranking them out, using inferior materials, to create a cheap knock-off, there won’t be any Fraidos ending up in peoples’ homes- and, quite frankly, I wonder if certain people would really WANT one in their home- just because they feel he’s …kind of creepy! Like those dolls and ventriloquist dummies
in various horror flicks that come to life…okay, now it’s creeping ME out…I’d better move that dummy…wait! Wasn’t he over on THAT side before? Nyahhh…
Sorry- I got sidetracked…as I was saying, I am always happy to have you guys come up to me and tell me you like what we do…and, I appreciate when you are considerate, and understand that we may be on our way somewhere for shoot,
or on a tight schedule, and can’t always spend as much time as we’d like to with you…but- I hope you guys know that, one of the main reasons I’m still on this Svengoolie circuit- is because you care about it and support it! I’m always flattered and amazed by the affection people have for us.
So- if you see me on the street, in a store, even in a jury room or a hospital waiting room (yeah, it’s happened!)-don’t be afraid to come say hello…
