A message from Sam...

Michelle told me to write something here, so I will. The reality is I should be working on my next book which I need to turn in to my editor in a few weeks, but what Michelle asks...Michelle gets.

I can only speak for myself, but I have more fun shooting the show than doing almost anything else. It takes us about 4 hours from start to finish to shoot one 30 minute show. Not 4 hours of shooting, but 4 hours in total: setting up, talking, laughing, shooting, eating, shooting, laughing, swearing, eating, trying to get Kelly on camera when she's not prepared - you get the idea. I always know what I'm going to make - but apart from that there's very little planning. One question I get asked is whether or not I use a script - and I always reply the same, "does it look like I use a script?" There's definitely no script and no formal plan other than the food- and that's the way it works best. But I shouldn't write too much about this because we have a 'behind the scenes' show in the works. Right Pinky? btw, I call Michelle "Pinky". The point of this blog though was for her to be able to show a little of the behind the scenes stuff. And because we don't really like outsiders hanging around when we shoot, this seemed to be a good way to show the nonsense, I mean fun. Nope, I mean nonsense. That's all I've got for now, back to book #2.

The TODAY Show saga....

As most of you probably know Sam appeared on the TODAY show twice last year. During his first appearance he was trying to explain a recipe while Kathie Lee & Hoda kept interrupting him. Well, Sam made a few comments.....

"Please Can I talk, I watch the show everyday & everyone has issues with a lot of chatter back here...pay attention one minute." (Please note the look on Kathie Lee's face...priceless)

His second appearance didn't go much better. If you never saw them you must watch & if you did they are always good for a laugh!

Will he be invited back in 2009?
