He WAS the Father

The perfectly placed tissue box

My second show as my new career as a professional audience member...Today Lydia and I went to the well-oiled machine known as the Maury Povich Show. I was so afraid I wouldn't wake up in time that instead I just didn't sleep...and crawled to 33rd Street to get the free Maury bus to Stamford, CT. Morning commuters are so rude! And pushy. And cut in line!
Anyway an hour and a half later, we arrived and were herded into the Greek Revival studio. 2 hours, 20 free pizzas and watching the woman next to me clip her man's nails, it was time to enter the studio.
First of all, they moved people from the center of the center row to place Lydia and I there...because the row was "too black"...their words not mine!
Maury Povich is an incredible professional. He filmed two shows- four segments- without even one single mistake or retake. "Paranormal Trick or Treat", followed by two lie detector cheaters and one paternity test. The audience is prompted to be "expressive" as are the "guests" (which actually seemed real) I spent a lot of time screaming "NAWWW GIRL!!!!"
The audience was surprisingly tame, even though I expected them to be ghetto. I don't think I'd ever go again but it was a cool experience.
