When BON first started off they twice tried to poach me to work as a producer for them as I was already doing that for another news organization. The first time I agreed to an interview and I came in and they didn’t have a fucking clue what was going on. They forgot they called me up to talk about being a producer and then we’re like “nah we don’t need producers, what we want are tv hosts.” I’d respond “I have zero interest in doing that.” Ok, “Well how about hosting a game show?” “Like I said, 0 interest in hosting a show.” “What is your favorite game show? What do you think of CNN?”

The best thing they did was in 6 months they fucking call me again and tell me they finally have an opening as a producer. Then when I show up again its “Well we lied, we really don’t want you to be a producer – we really want you to be on camera – its difficult to find a foreigner as tall as you are who is white who will be a presenter.” Fucking idiots.
