Being interviewed for the nightly news

Originally uploaded by MalevolentDust

A group of us from JWT were out to lunch at Champps today and FOX News interviewed a few of us about the current hullabaloo regarding Fantasy Football.

Apparently, four guys got fired from their job for participating in Fantasy Football at work. Their company has a strict policy against gambling (obviously NOT an advertising/marketing firm!) and these guys got terminated due to it. SUCKS to be them.

Anyway, I don’t play but certainly don’t see any harm in it as long as it doesn’t interfere with people getting their jobs done. So that’s what I told the news.

Will I get 15 seconds of fame (or even 5 seconds)? I don’t know – it was footage for the 4 o’clock news and I’ll be working — not watching tv!

If you’re a fan of Red Dwarf then you undoubtedly know who Robert Llewellyn is. For those who may not, Mr. Llewellyn plays the part of the android, Kryten, on the BBC sci-fi comedy “Red Dwarf.” Mr. Llewellyn was also host on the British television series “Junk Yard Wars” which aired on the Discovery Channel here in the USA.

He has created an interesting web-based video series called “Car Pool” which can be subscribed to in podcast-form via iTunes or can be seen directly on his website/blog at LLEWTUBE.com .
