Just wanted to say what a fantastic epic job the production crew and Lindsay Milone & Yina Edmonds did working the past 17 days for a NEW show on 'Nickelodeon' coming soon. Nothing but good things to say about the talent and the show 'NEW GAMES', hope to see a few more seasons...it looks REALLY good!

Lol....here I go again...we just spent 42 days of shooting Season 15,16,17 of FOOD NETWORKS top show CHOPPED and I can't tell you anything or else Food Network police will come knocking on my door and Whisk me away to an undisclosed location and set me in a room at 425 degree's for 2.5 hours. I can say being associated with a 'top notch' production company called Notional LLC and having a great executive producer like Loe Fahie makes other networks jealous of the magic we create on a working 'Set'.
Tuesday, February 26 2013
At the present time...I want to thank all the STAFF and welcome a few additional medics/EMT's as well, as always before I post anything i have to make sure I don't revel any secrets Lol. Give me a week and I'll ketchup...get it??? Catch-up Lol

Welcome Jeremy Kolomer & Emma Belli to the 'CHOPPED' production team, give it a few weeks before you start getting stressed out."welcome to show business". Its a great feeling being associated with a TOP viewer ratting show, can't say enough about Linda Lea, Vivian Sorenson & Loe Fahie without those three we would have MAJOR problem, and Ted Allen looks great...thanks Ted for keeping us employed lol.
Just a reminder..the holidays are upon us once more and this year some people need the 'Gift of receiving more then the gift of giving' due to Hurricane Sandy. Thursday, November 15 2012
Going to miss the PEPCOM shows for the next few months especially Heather & Crissy, see you in 2013 as long as the world doesn't end on 12/21/12....Thank you ladies for checking up on us to see how we were doing after hurricane 'SANDY'. x

I still have my button from Comedy Central's LAST show 4 years ago. Anyway...same winner...I guess the could have recycled the buttons and nobody would have known? Lol
Bottom line is Pauline Koffman from MTV Networks did an outstanding job with the rest of the production team. Comedy Centrals Indecision 2012 show was fabulous as always. Sunday, October 28 2012
What a week! (No thanks to SANDY) Between the flights being cancelled and all mayhem in the tri-state area Jimmy Kimmel Live from Brooklyn was able to pull it off. Special wizard of the year goes to Matt Musgrave for putting the show together and special thanks to 'Jimmy' for auctioning up his desk used on the show and all the proceeds going to the American Red Cross for relief of victims of hurricane Sandy.

I just want to thank VRBW Productions from Los Angeles California for letting us work the assignment the other day,THAT was something...IPHONE Apple picking on the 'Set' in the 'Big Apple'...luckily our 'catch a thief instincts kicked in'. Good job Paramedic Joey O'Farrell and his Production Posse of crime fighting hero's came to the rescue.
What can I say?
Great job Liz Morhaim and I bet you that person who got her IPHONE back is so happy you hired the 'right crew' Thanks Steve/Jeanne |
