Cool!

Thank you, Darren, for uncovering more information!

I've got my toes crossed, because I can't type with my fingers crossed! (And I never learned to type with my toes.)

Thanks, Morjana and Darren! I was hoping they'd run GITG again.

The part that caught my eye this time around was the "30 minutes of fame" bit. They then specify 15 minutes times 2. That is A LOT of air time. I mean, Bonnie had 2 minutes, tops. She did a great job with her two minutes, but it was still just two minutes. So my question is, what kind of character do they have in mind to take up 15 minutes on each show? Even Norman Walter H. Davis doesn't get 15 minutes in a show - and he has lines! Hhhmmm . . . think of the possibilities!

I don't think I'd take the "fifteen minutes of fame" thing literally. They're playing off a well-established saying/cliche, I don't think that it means you're actually going to be in a scene for fifteen minutes. Heck, scenes don't even LAST fifteen minutes, they cut back and forth.

And no, I don't think it'd mean fifteen total either.

Gotcha. Although, for some reason I'd always thought it was 15 seconds of fame. Maybe I just have low expectations?
