would YOU accept a job as a tv presenter?

Portillo, Kilroy-Silk, Parris, Brandreth, Currie, Widecombe. If numpties like them can do it then it has to be worth a shot. Or they must be worth a shot. A .22 should do it.

I don't think I'd do it. I'd much rather have people wonder if I'm not too bright, than to remove all doubt. Plus the benefits of being in front of John Q Public's face, for a fee or not, is apt to blow up once the tabloids put their spin on it for those who didn't see the original. I would imagine that comedians will play close attention, too. Nope, not for me. Hmmmm, do you suppose there's money to be made in promising NOT to go on the air?

No thank you! That is NOT my idea of a good life. While I think some of the old-time presenters like Parky and some current ones like Andrew Denton (Aussie) are more creditable than others, I would not want their job. I prefer my life just the way it is and wouldn't change it for anything.

I couldn't be a mouthpiece for a political party so I don't know how well i would do on the big 3 news networks...I think even Fox would fire me after a few shows. now, if we're talking a more independant network, maybe.

That's an interesting question but, I would have to pass on an offer such as that. I think that most political mouthpieces make a$$es of themselves.

Once I got used to it all I think I might be good at it.

Even if I wanted to do it for the money I'm afraid if I ever were to appear on TV I'd get so nervous I wouldn't even remember my own name! Most of the people you refer to, such as Gore and Palin, were already quite comfortable in front of the cameras before actually getting paid for it. Actually, I wouldn't mind accepting an offer (not that I'd ever get one...lol), getting the "make-over" and wardrobe they'd probably provide and then pulling a Palin and quitting! Annie

I would in a heartbeat. It's just like what we all do here, just on a huge scale and for a lot of money. Sign me up!!

If I could decide what the show would be about, yes. I want to do a show about huge machines--war machines, newspaper printing presses, wind turbines, big ships...every male between the ages of 2 and 102 would watch it every week.

How much would it pay? If it was enough, I could live with the discomfort :D

No way...too much fame for my liking. I could easily handle the money that came with the job but I prefer to stay in the background out of the limelight.

Hiya jb7800, Reckon this would be very tempting although I would think about the negative stuff like having the Paps running after you all day long and asking you all those daft questions about your love life and all that. That would be the negative side of the coin to put up with and I think I would have to really think about it. Or course on the other hand I could make a lot of money and then buzz of the other side of the world and live there in seclusion somewhere in a house no one would think that you would live in for example just a thought. In Spain these kind of Reporters are merciless they are outside your Door day and night so yes a lot of thougth would have to go into making money this way. Good luck to all those who make it though.

i will i accept if any job as a TV presenter. i think it's a good job and we can seeking information from other countries.it's will add my knowledge about some news.

Yes, I would. I had always loved being in the limelight, so why not, especially if the pay is good, yes, I will make a go of it. I do not mind if I have to read scripts or cues, I would love that.

no not one chance,not if I was bound and forced, no no no Blue bunny I do not want to do that silly stuff, let others smirk and posture and read stuff wrong off the autocue. would rather watch than be doing that, and as for my watching that, really I would rather be mylotting, if and when mylot ever starts to load in less than four minutes. gggrrrrrrr.

I'm too darn introverted, but I suppose if I needed the money...

I would love to have been a children's TV presenter back in the 70s/80s doing all sorts of silly stuff (none of your clever clogs, serious Blue Peter stuff) I'd have been happy bouncing around doing the "I'm a little teapot", slapping glue and glitter around, talking to puppets and inanimate objects and reading the stories with voices... - well, thats pretty much what I was doing really but not getting paid for it - totally missed my vocation there. I'd love to be in pantomime too - oh no you wouldn't...oh yes I would...

Hi jb, its Tuesday, needed a mylot fix did you? How much are they paying would be the crucial question, it would have to be a massive amount. And can you fix it so I can share an autocue with Jeremy please?

Maybe, I'm not too sure. For me, it would depend on what subject I would be covering and whether I would be able to cover it. Also, I'm not sure if I would be able to handle the harshness of the public and having to earn their approval all the time. Damn, it's a hard choice. At least my parents would be proud though

IDK, I think because of the fact that it is Al Gore and Sarah Palin, It sounds pretttttty lame, But if I was to do this by myself I think I would give it a go. I know that it is very rare for people to make it in to show business, especially at my age, but I believe that I have what it takes. HOPE THIS HELPS.
